...Cuz this is Ladie's Night!

I love my neighborhood. Not only do we have a killer Neighborhood Watch, but we have Ladie's Night once a month! This is a time where we get together at someone's house and play Pokeno. It's like Bingo, but with a deck of cards...it's as fun as it sounds. We would have played Twister, but somebody lost the spinner:( Kidding...
Everybody brings a $5 gift and $5 cash. We play for gifts until they're gone, then we play for the Pot of Cash!
I come for the gossip and the laughter...sometimes the wine. But I laid off this time and took some pictures instead. This is my last non-wedding related post before the first wedding of the season on Saturday!

Meet the Ladies of Nalley Drive...

The fam went out to dinner, but I showed up a little early at their house to take a few portraits.

Dog Days...

Well, I'm gearing up for Wedding Season and to do that I thought I'd bring my camera along to the Dog Park today. We took our son, Jack (the yellow lab) and our neighbor's dog, Reuben (the boxer). We have Reuben for the weekend while our neighbor is out of town and we thought we'd take him out to play. I've never seen him so exhausted. Right now he is sprawled out on the hardwood floor and he may or may not be dead. I'm hoping I won't have to tell his Dad that he had a heart-attack! :) Here are some pics from the day...

Jack lookin like a T-RexI'm gonna get cha!

Weeeee!
Um...I don't think so, Reuben!
