Jumpin' June

Actually, things around here have been jumpin' since May! Its been a very very busy few months. There is just so much to catch up!

Where to begin? We've had lots of celebrations going on these past few months. In May, we celebrated Chris and Sarah and their upcoming wedding at their Jack and Jill, enjoyed a Memorial Day BBQ at Matt and Dawn's and then my aunt's 50th birthday celebration.

We were so excited to have had my aunt Kathy staying with us for a week in May! It was a treat to get to see her again so soon after our trip to Florida. We had a great time! We visited the Norman Rockwell Museum, played games, ate food (of course), went for walks and had some good quality family time. She even got to celebrate her 50th birthday with us while she was here! My mom and I (mostly my mom though) put together a surprise birthday party for her. Her actual birthday was June 6th but we celebrated it a little early. Check out some photos in our May Album.

In June, we had a slew of birthday celebrations! Gloria's birthday, Tom's was June 11th and this week we will be celebrating my dad's birthday June 18th! In other celebrations, we joined the Townsley family in congratulating Heather on graduating from high school.

Here are some birthday pics from Gloria's day.

This last Saturday, we had Gloria's more formal birthday party with her friends. It was a fun afternoon and Gloria seemed to really enjoy playing with all her buddies. It was really more of a celebration of family than anything. We have been so blessed and wanted to take a day to enjoy our time together with close friends and our parents.

I kind of went crazy on the party for her. It was so much fun planning it and putting together the details. To see more photos from her Big Birthday party, visit our June Album.

GEM and her Grampy


GEM and her Gramma and Grampa Sund. On a side note, doesn't my dad look great?! He is really doing very well since his surgery. He is eating some soft foods and the doctor says he has never seen anyone bounce back from this type of surgery so quickly! He is such a strong strong man!! We are so excited about how well he is doing!

There are lots more photos so check them out if you haven't already. I got so behind on getting pictures updated to our site. The links to the albums that I've updated are below. Don't forget to read the captions. Since I haven't been updating regularly on the blog, I've tried to include captions on the photos so you can follow what's been going on in our lives. I'll have to update you later on GEM and how she has been doing. I also have some stuff to update you about regarding me and a new business adventure and Tom's latest plans. So more to come!
