Nashville!

A few weeks ago, Landon and I traveled to Nashville to help my sister-in-law, Shanna as she had just undergone surgery. Since my brother had to travel to San Diego for business, I knew Shanna would need an extra set of hands to help with Aiden and Stella!

Landon and I hung out with the Nashville Baumans from Sunday until late Friday night! We truly had an amazing time! We played outside, took several walks, went to a bouncy house, and went out for ice cream. Landon totally enjoyed spending time with his cousins! Since we live so far away from them, we have to relish in the time we do get to spend together.

I saw a big improvement in Shanna'a ability to move and get around while I was there, which was wonderful! I know she was tired of not being able to move as quickly because of her surgery!

Nashville Baumans--thanks for having us! We had a blast! We love you all!

Aiden loved trying to get me wet while we were playing outside!

Stella playing with the hose.

Bouncing at the Bouncy House! Stella and Aiden loved it!

The three of us going down the gigantic slide! Aiden wasn't too sure about it at first, but after watching Stella and I go down a few times, he became more confident!

Aiden was so sweet and gentle towards Landon. He was always talking to him and playing with him!

Stella too was extremely sweet towards Landon. She often gave him his little giraffe toy! So sweet!

Aiden wearing blocks as shoes!

Beautiful Stella!

My favorite picture of all! All three kids, together, smiling!

We had a great time! Perhaps next time daddy can come with us!

This is How I Roll!

Check out our little Landon!  He has been rolling over, from his back to his stomach, for about a month now. I was finally able to catch it on video while I was in Nashville, TN.

I will be posting more pictures from our trip to Nashville soon, so stay tuned!

Happy Father's Day!

I am so thankful that Phil is my baby's daddy! Landon is one lucky boy! I compiled a few pictures of Phil with Landon for your enjoyment. I am looking forward to capturing many more to come!

The first picture of Phil and Landon.

Smile, you're a daddy!

First trip to the zoo.

Helping with one of many poopy diapers! So glad the photographer captured that face.

Landon safe in daddy's arms.

My two favorite men doing what they do best...melting my heart and making me smile!

I love you Phillip! You are the perfect daddy for our son!

Rebecca's Bridal Shower

Last Saturday was my baby sister's bridal shower in Indiana. She has always been so supportive and loving towards me, so I was so happy to get the opportunity to shower her with love at her shower. She looked beautiful! Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

 

Yep, we had a hula hooping contest! 

The next morning, we had a great time taking some family pictures. Check them out!

The happy couple!  All smiles!

The weekend was perfect as it included laughter, love, and boat rides! I hope Rebecca had a good time too! Her wedding is right around the corner! I can't wait!

Busy Bertucci Family

Wow!  We have been busy and we are sorry it's taken us so long to post on our blog. Alas, I have found a few minutes to.

We recently took a little road trip to Ohio to visit my mom for Memorial Day! On Friday we ventured to downtown Cleveland and enjoyed lunch at Slyman's Restuarant, which is home to the biggest corned beef sandwiches on the planet. We then headed to Great Lakes Brewery so Phil could do some work research as he is now selling this brand of beer in his store. He wants to be knowledgeable of these beers and thought what better way to do that than trying them all!

He encouraged mom to help him with his "research"!

She enjoyed holding Landon verses tasting the different types of beer, for sure!

As Brian and Shanna were celebrating their 7th wedding anniversary at a local spa, they came to mom's on Friday night and left Aiden and Stella with us as they went on to get pampered. We had such a wonderful time with our little nephew and niece. Spending time with them is always such a treat as we don't get to see them often.

On Saturday morning we went to Lowe's and built airplanes with Aiden. He had fun hammering the nails and decorating his plane!

I had fun holding Stella and encouraging her not to take Aiden's nails.

On Sunday, after watching some of the Indy 500, we went to a local fair. It was muddy from the prior night's storm, but a lot of fun! Aiden was nervous when we first got there, but quickly warmed up to the idea of riding a few rides.

Ride #1--In honor of Uncle Andy

Ride #2--In honor of giant strawberries


We truly had a wonderful trip. Introducing Landon to his Nashville cousins was a blast. Here are a few more pictures from Memorial Day weekend.

Stella enjoyed petting and poking Lucy!  She was quite the little dog lover.

Stella with Uncle Phil. He quickly fell in love with this little lady. He's totally in trouble if we ever have a daughter.

And of course, our happy little camper!
