Nick & Felicia's Couple's Wedding Shower

Some words of wisdom from Gramps?

Let's get some cake honey.

Going to the chapel? or the pond?

And opening presents...

More games...

What was your answer honey? I don't remember THAT! hehe

Felicia's Mom, Bonnie, was the emcee for the Newlywed Game. That was a lot of fun! Amazingly Nick & Felicia were tied for first place and were able to win the tie-breaker with Bill & Becky to win the whole sha-bang. I guess they are ready to be married!

Bill & Becky and Gary & I hosted the couple's shower at our house. It was a lot of fun! And it was a beautiful day as well. Here's to a BEAUTIFUL life together kids!!!

Mackenzie Nicole Matula- Happy Graduation! We are so proud of you!

Oh, almost forgot that "all-important-boyfriend" He'll be doing this next year.
Wow, does that mean you're dating a "college girl" Trav?


Wow! A laptop for graduation. I think you may need that at college.
Hey Drana- why's EVERYBODY have ahh-qua on? hehehe

Hummmm...look out Ashland University...here I come! Attending my Aunt Linda's alma mater! Go Eagles!

Proud Mom & Dad.

Someone's happy! Good job Kenzer! And with honors...I'm sooo Proud!

Marcus & Mommy having fun!

Heheheeeeee...we had fun! I think a nap is in order Mommy...

Let's go for a walk Mommy! I've got my sunscreen and Columbus Zoo hat on.

I see you baby!

Katie & Marcus playing on his playmat. What big blue eyes you have cutie-pie!

Maxton & Grandma's picnic at the park

Love this juice...yummy...what a beautiful day it was!

Maxton's Grandma Pat has taught him to put his arms up when asked "how big of a boy are you?" It's sooo cute!

These pics are a few months old but we had fun that day! Our first picnic in the park in Powell at Liberty Park. A little Bob Evans, playing on the blanket, and then the swing for a bit.

Felicia's Bachelorette Par-tay

Felicia and her friends: Angela (bridesmaid), Becky(cousin/maid of honor), Felicia, & Leanna.

My three beautiful girls! Laci, Felicia, & Katie.

Laci, Katie & I- had a great time!

I'm not sure why but I can't find all of my pics from this night so I am using Laci's. Just in case you missed them on her blog. lol

Myrtle Beach Cont'd...

Now the tequilas working! We had a great night! Let's go home...(or to the condo at least)

The Scheffler gang.

Time to dance girls...let's hit it!

Ok, here we go girls. Matching shot glasses. HOW CUTE!! Thanks Shannon! The band on our arm entitled us to FREE drinks for a couple of hours...and tequila was on the menu! Oh-la-la

Oh, there's more of us...

Linda, Cathy S, the people already named below, Shannon S, Travis, Gary V & Gary S.

The gang's all here! Kent, Amy, Lindy, Lisa, Andy, and Karen.

The tequilas not taken it's toll yet...

Shannon & Drew. Love the leopard print? It was a cool stretch limo. Smelled slightly funny but cool. Who knows what's gone on in that thing! lol

Parents of the bride, Lindy & Lisa, getting ready to PAR-TAY!

Karen & Andy getting in the limo.

For the Bachelor/Bachelorette party 20 of us jumped in the limo to head out on the town. We had a great time! As evidenced by the above pics!

Myrtle Beach- Bike Week & Rachel/Dennison Wedding

And again, more riding...It was cooler on the bike that we had thought it would be. I could have used a heavier coat. Layers were the best idea. This is us leaving the condo with Lindy & Lisa and Andy & Karen. We met Drew & Shannon at a Steakhouse later for a fab meal.

Here are Karen & Andy. Lindy, Kent, and Amy went also. Lisa was doing Mother-of-the-bride stuff. She didn't miss much...but wind!

One day at the beach was enough. It was VERY windy. We were only there for an hour or so. Just long enough to get pics! hehehe

Can you say "ORANGE?" For some reason we both decided to wear orange one night. Gary was excited to wear his new "MB biker shirt." Our friends could easily spot us!

We started the week by biking all around Myrtle Beach. When I say "around" I mean that. We avoided the city M.B. beause of the new ordinances and restrictions they put in to place this year for bikers. The slogan on all the t-shirts was "Not a dime in 09".

So sorry! I've been too busy to blog!

Hope you're all waiting for this...we've been up to a lot lately!

Lounging around after eating.

My sis's new house...CUTE!!

Her kitchen with her new stainless steel appliances. She bought the EXACT same ones that I have without knowing it. haha. More to come when she gets it all decorated.

Her back patio. This will be really cool for entertaining. It's very peaceful back here even though Rt 250 runs behind her.

She has a side porch now. Never had a porch to sit on at the old house.

The front view with a nice driveway. This house is really cozy. I think there may be less space than her last house but I love this one more.
