May oh May

 May was full of fun times, but I did no better at taking pictures like I said I would. I just get too caught up in the stress of things, or the fun of things and I forget to take pictures. My goal is to do better... we'll see if that happens.

Jon wanted me to take him to Rio for his 30th birthday and I really wish I could have. but since we are no millionaires I decided to have some friends over and have a Brazilian BBQ instead. Kinda like Rio... ish. :) We had kabobs, rice and beans, Brazilian lemonade, grilled pineapple, little french breads, and good ole' American birthday cake. The food spread was impressive, I'm so bummed I didn't get a picture. but just imagine it being amazing. Thanks to the Elkins, the Romneys, and Heidi for coming by! We're not social very often, but we had a good time. :)

Next we celebrated Jon's birthday as part of a whirlwind weekend of family togetherness. Jon's family was in town from Tennessee and Arizona so we partied like crazy. We had a graduation party and a baby shower, and went to the temple. It was really fun. Jon's party was construction themed and he got a lot of Home Depot cards! He has a lot of plans on how to use them! He's such a cute Mr. Fix-it! 

 Most of our pictures are of just Torbin, so I have been doing better at getting Jon in most of them too. But then I realize I don't have many with me, so here is our attempt at another family picture. Torbin doesn't like to cooperate very well. But he's still super cute! And here I am in all my pregnant glory... 2 weeks left to go... I think it's fair to say I look like a balloon ready to pop!

Mother's Day wrapped up our crazy weekend. We spent the morning with my mom, went to church with them, then spent the afternoon with Jon's family. Part of my mother-in-laws Mother's Day tradition is that we all go and get pedicures. That is always fun, and relaxing! It's nice to be pampered, and to have cute toe nails. It seems to be my parents new tradition to give us a flower pot full of beautiful flowers for Mother's Day. Thanks to them we have awesome flowers on our front porch. :) The best part of Mother's Day is that Jon and Torbin let me sleep in!!! And I got this cute picture of Torbin and I! To have him smile in a picture with me is a little miracle!! I love being his mom!

After mother's day we impatiently awaited to arrival of our little Zachary... more to come of him next time. :)
