Post wedding reception

Since we all do not get together that often we couldnt just let the fun stop at the wedding reception. As you can see from the pictures we entertained ourselves pretty well at Berks and Jokers on Main St in Cedar Falls IA.

New faces in AZ

Just wishing our friends Mike and Mara Syring safe travels. They will be traveling to Phoenix today. They are moving from Kirksville MO.

Jovanna and Wyatts wedding

Congrats to Jovanna and Wyatt Conrad! They were married this last Saturday May 16th. Here are some pictures of the happy couple at their rehearsal and reception. We wish them the best of luck!

Nico's bachelorette party fun

Our trip back to Iowa was filled with a lot of fun. There was never a dull moment and there was always something planned. Unfortunately those "somethings" always went until 3:30am:)
Tessa and the girls did a fabulous job setting things up for my bachelorette party. I received the royal treatment when Uncle Troy pulled up in the limo and drove us around town all night. I knew it was going to be a good night when deftones "passenger" was blasting on the radio and we were headed for Main St in Cedar Falls. We met at Bourbon Street at 6pm and filled the dinning area. We had about 30 giddy ladies enjoying drinks, dinner and some exotic gifts:) I have to say the cake pan was pretty interesting but the name tags were a big hit!
Thank you so much to everyone who was able to attend. It was great getting to catch up with everyone! And I truly appreciated everything!

Sunday Funday

We had to break out the pool toys:) We have been averaging around 100 degrees which is normal for this time of year. Abby is a little sun goddess, or like Greg says Bird dog. She loves to sit in the sun. She will sit in the little sliver of sun that comes in thru the shades in the morning. Of course the temperatures outside get to her sometimes so we felt she needed to cool off:)

The new pool

It is almost that time a year again~ Floating around in the pool all day long! Our pool needed a few repairs so we decided to go with a new color all together. I'm sure our neighbours did not enjoy the jack hammering that went on to lay the new plaster but it sure has a nice cool look to it now:) It was worth it.

Flowers are on steroids

It has been so much fun this spring watching our flowers bloom. We moved in the end of July so we had missed a lot of the action. This year we planted mums, an orange tree, Scarlet Bottlebrush Bush, and a rose bush. The rose bush has taken off! The bottlebrush will most likely bloom in another year. It adds a nice touch of color to the backyard instead of just green. But speaking of green the myoporum or ground coverage has little white blooms on it. Sometimes it reminds us of little snowflakes.
