Merrill and Roberta Simon and Family

Merrill and I took Saturday off and went to Street Vibrations. We did something we have never done before, we did the "CatHouse Poker Run" For those of you that may not know, brothels are not only legal in many parts of Nevada, it is a thriving business. Well, once a year they are open to women also....during Street Vibrations. It was really not as bad as I thought it would be. We rode for hours, going to the different business' collecting our punch for the poker run. It was actually quite fun. I have never in my life seen so much chrome, leather and Harley Davidsons. Merrill loved all the attention that his Boss Hoss attracted. It is hard to believe that even after 28 years of marriage, I never know he could talk so much. The only other place he talks this much is in elevators.....just ask my sister, Tammy.....LOL. Neither of us won, but we enjoyed a full day of just the two of us. It was nice. We also took the time out earlier in the week to enjoy a dinner out for my bi

Two proud new owners and their two new bikes. LisaMarie is ready to try it with no training wheels and McClain is just ready to fly...or is that ride like the wind...LOL We will have to post another picture of Mordachi and his bike. Bless his heart, he got the bike nearly three years ago and just now can ride it. Here is to the many bumps that come along when one can ride. You go kids!!!! Love ya, Mom  

All I can say is time flies when you are having fun. Seems like just yesterday that we were celebrating Marshal's driving permit and now here we are staring our third week of school. WOW!!!! Most of the children started school on August 28th, but then Joey and McClain started early childhood classes on Setember 5th. We made the most of our long Labor Day Weekend. Merrill took that Friday off and we took Joseph, Joey and McClain to the Rib Cook-off in Sparks. It was nice and we enjoy all the ribs from the different vendors. Merrill did not have to fight the teens for his ribs....LOL. On Saturday we took the kids on a day camping trip with our friends Mary and Jim. They went all weekend, but we had plans, so that is why we only went ofr the day. The children enjoyed almost the entire day in an Artisian Well fed lake. It was a little warm and much to their liking. Jim also cooked some wonderful ribs and we all enjoyed more than our fair share. Thanks Jim!!!! On Monday we took everyon
