Happy 60th Birthday Mom!

Well, it's official...my mom is now 60 years old! It's true that we are as young as we feel, so my mom truly only turned 37 years old (you see, that's how old she acts). She is the most energetic and fun loving mom/grandma around! I mean, what other lady, who just turned 37, Indian leg wrestles and does somersaults and cartwheels still? Not many that I know! It was great getting to spend her birthday with her! We love you mom!

Rebecca, the BEAUTIFUL Bride!

My baby sister, Rebecca, got married this past weekend! She is no longer a Bauman, but not a Paukert! Her wedding was absolutely beautiful, but now nearly as beautiful as she was! She glowed as she walked down the aisle and the love she has for Andy just radiated off of her! I am so very happy to welcome Andy into our family and so thrilled for Rebecca as she embarks on the most wonderful adventure of her life!

On Thursday was Rebecca's bachelorette party! Several of us had a wonderful time getting our nails done, socializing and celebrating Rebecca's last night as a single lady during dinner, and of course going out for a few drinks!!

On Friday, we headed out to the suburbs for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. It was fun to watch Aiden during the rehearsal, as he wasn't too sure about walking down the long aisle with Amelia, the flower girl! He did do a fantastic job on the wedding day!

Saturday was perfect! Rebecca was truly the most beautiful bride ever! She was simply stunning! Being part of her special day made me smile! She deserves nothing but the best and I am so very proud of her!

Check out a few of the pictures we captured from Rebecca's Wedding Weekend!

Happy Birthday Pops!

Last weekend, we traveled to Poplar Grove to visit Phil's parents. We had a wonderful time watching fireworks, traveling to Lake Geneva for a little vacation, and celebrating Phil's dad's birthday. Mostly, we had such a great time spending time with them as they are such special people. Knowing that Landon has such great grandparents makes us extremely happy! We know that they would do anything for him and love him with all of their hearts! We had a wonderful time and hope to travel out to see them again soon!

Bonfire time! Phil and Pops being silly!
