WOW...June

June is crazy for many reasons! The main 4 are these...our Anniversary, Marty's Birthday, Father's Day and then Mindy's Birthday! Seriously WHAT were we thinking getting married in June... I mean we are only half way thru the month and I feel exhausted. Could be a little to do with pregnancy too? HA. To make it really great though-my sis-in law (Brett's wife) came to town from Ohio with their NEW 3 month old baby Emri! So we of course had a girls night with all the sis's . Here we are having a big BOW-making fest. Then we all went out to the Pizza Factory! I love you Jam... so glad you came out.!
Ruby had a 'Dance Review' in Morgan. It was her first experience in a dance class and she really liked it. It was so fun to watch her that night and she did so great!
We ran in the 'Gerald Anderson Memorial' 5K. A high school reunion basically. It was fun to see so many people. They have a big turn-out and it's cool to see the support for a cause like that. We got really nice t-shirts too.
For the 7 year anniversary we stayed in Salt Lake and went to PF Changs for dinner. It was so delicious! We got the Changs for Two...you get a soup cup each, one appetizer to share, an entree each and a mini-dessert each-for 39.95. I love the egg drop soup. We got lettuce wraps for the appetizer-sooo good. I ordered the almond/cashew chicken and Marty got the orange-peel shrimp. We ate it all up. PIGS we are. (But there was no fridge in the hotel so why let it waste if ya can't take it home.?) I LOVED the shrimp, will definitely get that next time. The mini-dessert was a perfect size for a sweet dollop at the end. We walked to and from the restaurant - it was just so relaxing to not be on a schedule. We had a really great time!
Marty's 33rd birthday! I love this dear man. And he is sooo easy to please! The least picky person (about most things) I've met. We surprised him at lunch and took him out. Made his favorite dinner that night. Lasagna. Then after his bishopric meetings...I let the kids stay up and we surprised him again with gifts and a cake. Chocolate -Cherry Cake...his favorite combination of flavor.
Well 1/2 way done with June.! Not that I want to 'get through it'! I love summer! It is definitely a busy month though. Speaking of busy months...December will be a bit harry this year. My due date is Dec. 24th! I mean really- who plans that- NO ONE! And I am feeling like a balloon already. I was showing at like 8 weeks... no joke. A friend even asked me (out of the blue) if I was pregnant. I guess I was warned that you show sooner with each kid, but no one SAT me down and drew diagrams! sheesh... Here's to a flat stomach ever again!!!

You look like a skinny-mini in your 5k picture, little miss. Pregnancy looks good on you, anyway. No worries. Ummm...what DAY exactly is your b-day? I don't want to miss it for the 4th year in a row. Oh did I miss it already? I probably did, huh. Oh man. I hate myself. =)

Ruby looks adorable in that pic...oh to have a girl. sigh. I CANNOT believe you ran in a 5K pregnant!! Simply amazing. Sounds like a busy but rewarding month for y'all (i'm southern now).

I am so upset that I can't be at the reunion. I tried to tell Collins to reschedule...HELLO! No Turner + No Long = NO FUN = NO Party! OK so not really...sort of...just post pictures for me alright. Tell all the ladies hello and play Eye of the Tiger for me. :) We'll have to do it again. GET everyone's contacts!

Oh Happy Birthday to you two!! So happy you guys got a night out on the town to celebrate the anniversary. Great picture of you two.
An absolutely darling picture of Miss Ruby at the dance recital. I bet she had the best time. Have a great rest of June!

Mindy, I can't ever see a picture of Ruby without grinning. She seriously is the cutest little thing ever.

I was going to run in the 5K also...and was so bummed we didn't make it. We had so many things planned that day that it made it hard. Maybe next year. I'm not so sure I want the whole highschool reunion though. Haha.

Happy Anniversary! I can't believe you've been married 7 years. Seriously time flies. I also love PF Changs, by the way. It's the best!

I hope you're feeling a bit better (since your cruise). That's a bummer that you're due on the 24th of December. Just hope/pray that he or she comes early so you don't have a Christmas baby. Either way, congrats to you guys. Sorry about the long comment.
