"I do's" & "Happy Birthday to you's"

"Happy Birthday to you"
July has been packed with weddings & birthday celebrations so I have a little catching up to do before August begins.  We celebrated our nephew Aidan's birthday a little early when the O'Connor's were in town for the 4th of July weekend.  We were at our favorite local mexican restaurant, La Fiesta, and decided that Aidan needed a birthday song in Spanish to kick off his birthday week.  They brought out sombreros & sang happy birthday which he thought was hilarious!

Curt & Heather (Dr. & Dr. Miller) tied the knot on July 9 in a very sweet ceremony.  They both opened a chiropractic office in Rochester & met in Chiro school.  Heather is super sweet & fits in perfectly with our group of friends.  Those guys sure know how to pick 'em!  As always, Baby T got tons of love from her fan club as seen in the pictures below.

"Happy Birthday to you & you & you"
Beth, her roomate Gayle, & Gayle's sister Lynn were also in town that weekend and it was Gayle's birthday weekend so we decided to go out on the lake to celebrate on Sunday.  It was also my mom & Cora's birthdays the next week so we celebrated all three.  We did lots of snacking, drinking, dancing, and floating that afternoon and had a blast!

I like to call myself "Large & in charge Marge!" haha
The motley crew
We went to Texas Road House for their birthday dinners and Cora & Gayle pretended to ride the saddle that they bring around for birthdays.  The waiters came over and sang happy birthday embarrassingly loud which is pretty much a tradition at any restaurant.  They loved it & it was a great ending to a fun birthday weekend.

"I Do"
We attended the Katzmark wedding on July 23 (Friday evening) and man was it hot!  Both the wedding & reception were outside on the tented patio at the yacht club so I hijacked a fan and pointed it right at our table.  Oh the things you can get away with when you're pregnant!  Chris' now wife Mackenzie is actually due 10 days after me with their first baby girl.  She looked amazing and her dress fit her little belly so well!  The decor was gorgeous, the food was delish & it was great catching up with friends.  Congrats, Katzmarks!  Now it's time to prep for baby - I can't wait to meet our 2 girls!

Cutting the cake

"I Do"
Our summer wedding marathon was capped off with Courtney Bell & Matt Krohe's wedding on the the 24th.  We've known Courtney & her family forever and I met Matt in college at LLCC.  Court looked beatiful & her dress was amazing!  She didn't overlook any detail at the ceremony/reception so everything came together perfectly.  I was also very impressed with the speeches - they were all very heartfelt, funny, & concise.  This might be mean to say, but some speeches go on foooorrrreeevvveerrrr.  Hey, you all know it's true!  haha.  Anyway, Scott & I were both exhausted by the time this wedding rolled around so we left early around 10:30.  I really wanted to stay but getting sleep is becoming more important to me every week.  Cookin' a baby is tough work when you're past the 30 week mark!

Normal wedding occurrence - someone stealing the microphone from the DJ!

I'm so glad that we could celebrate all of these marriages with our dear friends like they did with us last year.  Hopefully we'll be meeting some new babies in the next year or two from a few of these 2011 newlyweds!  : )  Cheers!
