June Recap

June is an insanely wild month in our household, and this year was no different. There are several reasons why I love June EVERY year, and there are also a few reasons why I love June THIS year.

Why I love June EVERY year:

One of the biggest reasons happens on the 8th: Ty's BIRTHDAY!!! YAY! This begins the two month stretch where I'm only 5 years older than him, so I like it. :) But really, I won't get super cheesy, but have to say I waited a LONG TIME to find him, and he was DEFINITELY worth it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!!














The other biggest reason I love June falls on the 22nd: Our anniversary!!! Two years down, LOTS to go. I had NO IDEA how much better life is when you share it with someone, and I'm so grateful for the man I get to share it all with!!!

We were married in the SL Temple, and had our reception a week later, after the honeymoon...both days were beautiful, the sealing was AMAZING, and we had a perfect week long celebration.



















Every year in June (this year on the 21st) is Fathers Day: Even though we don't have kids YET, (unless you count our dog, which we do), I love celebrating the man that will be the father of our kids. I can't wait to see him with KC (although I'm a little nervous to see what Ty will be teaching him...), and know he'll be an amazing dad. This year was especially fun celebrating, for obvious reasons.

And now, the reasons I love June THIS year:

the 5th-7th: CAMPING!!! We went to Smith & Morehouse with a group of friends, and even though it was on the cold side, we had a ball! Luckily the weather held out on Saturday...not so lucky it rained while we were packing up Sunday. :(

I took cupcakes for a pre-celebration of Ty's birthday. I didn't bring candles, so we tried to come up with a makeshift candle (aka a stick). It didn't light very well...hence the look on his face.















the 19th-20th: ANDERSON CAMP!! This is my sister-in-laws annual family camping outing, and luckily they are nice enough to let some of the crazy Lechtenbergs in on the fun. This was my first year, and I'm hoping this will become an annual thing. Again, we got rained on a little, but still had lots of fun - we saw an old Pony Express mailbox, and the boys had fun "Munk Hunting" (yes, as in chipmunks - please forgive him for his insensitivity to these cute little creatures).
















The dog LOVES camping - possibly more than we do.















the 26th-28th: DENVER!! Last year our friends took us to the Thunder Valley Motocross Race. We had so much fun, we decided to do it again this year. It was a blast, the weather was great, and I haven't laughed that hard in a LONG TIME. Thanks guys for a memorable weekend! And, this should be an annual thing, but we may try a different race next year, so it may not always be in June.

Sorry, no pics. :(

the 30th: Hello 3rd Trimester!!! Can you believe it?! We're on the final stretch. This was a GREAT day - I've had a really easy pregnancy, so I'm not complaining, but we're definitely getting anxious to meet this little guy. Guess we ought to start shopping for our babe now, huh?

Me at 21 weeks! (I know, I'm SLOW)



















Me at 29 weeks, 5 days - 30 weeks this coming Tuesday!

Happy June! You are looking lovely by the way. And your husband is fantastic - he came home teaching today, and he's a real nice fella. :)

Chris and Tara said...

I feel the same way about June. Anniversaries and camping, you can't beat that. Ü

Lindsay and Mike said...

There is barely even a bump there! I'm sorry, but I have to hate you now! ;)

Wow, you guys have been as busy as we have! We haven't seen you since the Camping outing! Fun is what summer is all about though right?

Stephenson and Katie said...

That is QUITE a June... No wonder we miss you guys so much, you're never around! So fun! And I love your still non-existent-belly belly shot!

Nancy said...

Fun pictures. You look adorable! I just ran into Nada and she told me about Ty's surgery!! I hope he is recuperating well! Love to you both.

Laura Hyde said...

You're doing so much better with your blog! Thank you! It's fun to see you, and I'm so glad you're not shy about posting pictures of you pregnant. I absolutely love it. You look beautiful of course.

I enjoyed the June recap. Jealous of your camping trips of course! Hang in there for the last trimester! It's so worth it!

Hey Elise! You're looking amazing. In response to your comment- I got Jayden's crib through BabyAge.com. The shipping is free if you buy a crib for over $125 dollars.. which wouldn't be hard :) SO over a year ago when I was researching the cribs and stuff they had the best deals. Hope you find something!! :)

You look so cute! I'm really sad I wasn't able to make it to your shower... I usually don't work Saturdays, but the one I did have to work was on the day of your shower (annoying). Hope you are doing well, and by the way.. we just love Caitlin, her and Sean will be great together one day! ;)
