He's home, he's home, he's finally home!

Well, after 2 years (I'm saying this like Pam from Saturday's Warrior, holding up two fingers and all) my baby brother Nay is home!

The morning of March 29 could not come soon enough! Every one loaded in the car(s) and headed to the airport with signs, smiles and beatles shirts and all!

 Kate and her boot shoe, of course.

 The sibs.

 The girla's with their nannie. We love her, and she was SOOOOO excited to get her baby boy home!

Then he came home and he smelled soooooo foreign!
His hair was buzzed, his face bigger than when he left and his body smaller.
But he is still the cutest little goober out there.

 Love this little boy ---man....

 Nay and his Nannie

 My mom and dad were elated. They were sooooo giddy!

So, true to Nay form, he got started right in on talking and telling us everything

 He wanted to head to Chili's for lunch.
1. The last place we went as a family
2. His request like a year and a half ago

 And he eats his fries with a fork now?!?!?

We headed home so he could share with us all of his goodies from Brazil

His buddies came over and it was awesome to see them reunite

 Madera Ward boys

 Nay and Lando. Friends since they were ....3 I think?

After his friends left we decided to shock him with all of our funny You Tube finds.
Verdict: not funny to Nay.
So we are still waiting to show him everything so he can be in on family jokes.. AND think they are as funny as we all do...

 Aud collects shot glasses, and I think this might be her favorite one.
(and this is my favorite picture of those two!)

 Nannie collects roosters. And I think this might be her favorite one too!

We got ready and headed to the Stake President (President Laney) for Nay to be released but:

 Not before a quick game of scramble between these two.
They need an intervention.STAT.

 Sista's!

The releasing was great, tears and all! (but really, you know the Askins clan, what did you expect??)

So, we blarred the radio and headed to.... QT!

 Fountain soda's were in order for this boy and a real cherry pepsi for Aud (cuz this is a special occasion, naturally)

That evening we had friends over to welcome the little boy home, but:

 Not before a quick game of scramble between these two.
Seriously, my family is addicted.

It was awesome seeing so many family friends stop by and feel the love everyone has for Nay!

 Nay and his best friend Jake. (Who is the best kid ever)

 Nay and his best friend Jordan Taylor (who just left today on his mission to Chile and serving with David Archeletta.... boom!)

Friday evening we spent together as a family and went to Pei Wei. Why?
Nay wanted to. And Nay is back in Gilbert AZ, so why not!

 I have missed this face! (literally)

We headed back home and had a little birthday party:

 We have missed 2 birthdays!!

 Honestly, taking a siblings picture is near impossible. We take two.
The first Aud always makes a face
The second Aaron always makes a face.
I chose the lesser of the two evils.
(that being this one was cuter of Aud...)

Sunday was general conference, which was perfect to spend as a day as family!
We went over for Big Boy Breakfast and watched conference.

 During the sessions we called our cousin Cale and him and Nay spoke Portuguese together.
Adorbs.

 Just woke up sibs

 After conference we watched Harry Potter.
He needed to catch up on the last two!!

That next Monday he came into my office so I could clean his teeth and help his gums not look like hamburger meat.... after....
lunch at Pei Wei with our mommy!

 Nay loves Pei Wei.

Tuesday was our day to hang out, go shopping, spend money, eat out and take a nap

 It was the best just like old times with windows rolled down and Rocketsummer turned up!

 And Nay can mimic Sethie Wilcock playing the drums PERFECTLY.....
I died laughing every time!!!

He has gotten back to helping my dad mow the lawn.

 But in a more respectable atire.
Cowboy hat
Scrub top
Converse.

Sunday was Easter and Nay's homecoming talk. It was such a perfect day for his homecoming and to be surrounded by close family and friends!

 All of Nay's best friends.
And he would tell you that. Every single one of them=best friends.

 Silly boys.

Shelly came over with her kids and Nay and Cavan headed up to play some guitar

 Or slappin' da base as Aaron would say...

 Oh he is so lovable! Cavan and Nay!

 Tatum and Cavan and Nay.

 Family photo!
We love our family!

 Kissing cousins

Aim and Corb were over the whole day and it was so great to spend time with them and instantly Asher fell in love with Nay, I mean, how could he not!

 Cuteness!

We went to the Easter pageant and had a blast!

 It's so good to have my best friend, baby brother and sweetest person I know home!

 His sisters are pretty proud to call him their brother!
(mom and dad are too!)

Welcome home Elder Nay!!! Love you to pieces. Love: Bainy.
