Hanging out at Steph's

Driggs Summer Trip 2016












It was such a different trip this year with a new baby. The ride was longer with the stops we made and I was nervous the whole time that Nona would start screaming. She did really well in the car on the way there until we hit Rexburg and then she was done. We got in the car around 8:00 and drove to Spokane for the night and then made it in to Driggs around 6:00. Everyone loved on Nona the entire trip, but no one more than John. He always wanted to know where she was and wanted to hold her all the time, even when she was crying. He said cute things like, "where is Nona" whenever he walked in the door. "She is my favorite thing" or he was holding her on Grandma's bed and the tv was on and he said "I wish the tv wasn't on because it is distracting me from Nona." "Her eyes are my favorite" It was all just so cute to watch and see how much he loved her.

Mother's Day Gift


For Mother's Day Phil got me some containers and plants for the summer. We had already got a few strawberries already and look forward to all the tomatoes and fresh salsa.

Rental Clean Up

 Love this picture of Miya and Nona. Something sweet about your oldest and youngest loving each other.
We had tenants move out in Tacoma so we needed to get up there and clean for the turnover. I hardly did anything with Nona around, but was able to squeeze in a few things while Miya held her. It was a super hot weekend the first of June so we had all the windows open and stayed in the shade as much as possible outside working. Phil and his dad did most of the work.

Nana





Miya needed to make something to go with a book she read for Language Arts and she wanted to make a pie. Her sweet Nana helped her make this pie. We love having her live here so close to us and all the many hours of service she has given in helping teach my children new skills. Love these pictures with her sweet and kind helping hands in them. She is such a great example to me of love and service. We will miss them dearly when they move out in a few short months.
