What a weekend of fun! Despite the chilly weather, the weekend was beautiful and fun filled.  I loved spending 4 straight days with some of my besties and loved being part of Paige's day.  As most of you know, Paige is like the younger (only by 2 months) sister I never had and I was so honored to stand by her side on her big day!

A quick shout out to my parents for watching Will for 3 days!  You two are the best!

Thursday night was BBQ night in Carroll and it's not a BBQ without flippy cup. We broke up into Team Paige and Team Chris and Team Paige went undefeated; we rocked their socks off.



The next morning woke up, had coffee with my Mom, played with the crazy and was out the door by 9:30 to head back to Carroll and set up the reception. After set up we had lunch at a winery in Carroll. What a fun place, great food and of course fabulous vino. Paige's mom paid for everyone's lunch, if you know Rita, that's not surprising. Paige's parents are some of the most generous people I have met.




That night we headed to the Church for some practice and then took the Irv (RV) to the rehearsal dinner which was outside of Carroll and had LIVE and stuffed Tatonka . . . of course we had to have a photo opp with the stuffed tatonka.  I might add that Paige and Chris's gifts rocked.  Coach purses for the ladies and watches for the men.  Tom said to me, thank goodness we didn't get married after them.  HA!  After dinner we headed to Swizzles for some after dinner cocktails.  FUN night!



 
Wedding DAY!  No explanation necessary, pictures will do all the explaining.
 



Will loved the dance floor!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Hanson!  Love you both!

"Trouble . . . Trouble, Trouble, Trouble Trouble

Trouble been doggin' my soul since the day I was born."  You have all heard this commercial that has the cute little puppy . . . well this is Will's new theme song and below is a perfect example of why.

His new trick . . . he even knows to put out his arm like he is the "King of the World"



Will = Crazy.  Will = Busy.  Will = Trouble.  Will = Tired Mommy and Daddy.

He can now get out of his crib.  Nightmare.  We haven't gotten sleep for the past 3 weeks.  He woke up one night at 2:00 AM crying so we both took a turn and tried to get him back to bed.  All was quite so we thought we had succeeded.  WRONG!  All of sudden we hear "uh oh" a few times and then knocking on his door followed by "Maaa, where ball?"  The BEST SLEEPER EVER decided to flip a switch and is now the WORST sleeper ever.  Sadly that switch won't be turned back for a while I feel.

We have really enjoyed the past few weekends of nice weather.  We have been to the park A LOT!  Every time we hit the park I always get the question, how old is he?  Everyone is shocked when I say almost 21 months.  He towers over all the kids his age and some that are well above his age . . . this shouldn't surprise anyone when they see how tall I am and if Tom is with me, how tall we both are!

Next on my list is getting a video of Will dancing.  Hilarious.  He used to only dance to certain songs, but now when he hears any tune he wants to bust out all of his "moves".  I think between Will and his cousin Jenna - these two could be quite the performers!  :)

Better Late, Than Never

Remember back in January when I posted about my Grandma's 97th Birthday Bash?  After being passive aggressive with Tara and being called Mom by my sister, Sonya, Tara finally posted the pictures (love ya, sis).  Hey, you gotta do, what you gotta do. 

Well here is the picture.  Doesn't she look great for 97??  Seriously, my Mom and Grandma age so well so let's hope I got that gene.  If not, I guess let's hope plastic surgery is much cheaper as I age.  Seriously Kidding.  :)  There are 4 generations here BUT my Grandma also has 2 great, great grandchildren.  Isn't that nuts?
