Our House

Belle and I moved into our house in June. I know that these pics are a little over due, but here they are. We love the house and the neighborhood. Belle has lots of friends that she plays with and loves riding her bike all the time.

I have a horse themed kitchen, a Memphis themed living room, a family themed dining room and entryhall and a New York Themed bedroom. Belle's room is going to be horses.

Rader Family Reunion - Fish Fry

On Saturday, Belle and I loaded up the car and headed to Missouri. We were to Grandma's house for a fish fry/reunion with the Rader Family. We were excited to see everybody and to hang out. We got there around 6 or so and had dinner and just kinda hung around and visited. Belle on the other hand, as you can see from the pictures, was teaching her cousin's how to play poker. At one time I believe Hudson got in on the deal and was getting ready to raise Belle's ante. LOL. We all went to bed late and got up early the next morning. Some of us, yours truly to be exact, earlier than others be cause those airbeds are tricky. I believe that CJ told me that I fell out of it twice and then I just gave up and woke up and gave Belle my covers. LOL. Belle and the kids went to the neighborhood park and played and then we had the fish fry. WONDERFUL!!! Lots of hard work went into that. As you can see, Wayne and Uncle Bob worked real hard to cook that fish and Joe( not pictured) supervised. Chris was the official taste tester.

After dinner and the requisite naps....thank god they are NOT posted....Wayne took me out on his Harley. My first ride in 6 years... it was AWESOME. Belle got a little scared and was very mad at me when I got back, but I let Wayne take her out to show her how safe it was. Of course they were in the parking lot.

Whitney and I got to spend some time together, which was awesome and CJ, Cher and I posed for photo sessions.
