once upon a time

Once upon a time a newborn was born....

Then he turned 1

and before we knew it he turned 2.....and he just keeps growing and growing and going!

And we keeping lovin and lovin him....

*his due date was May 2nd but luckily for me he came April 17th and healthy. So I figured we can still acknowledge his birthday even if I am 3 weeks late....

Kentucky Derby

They call it the fastest 2 minutes in sports.....what's not to love about a sporting event that doesn't take all day and includes dressing up, wearing ridiculous hats, placing bets and enjoying fabulous food?

It's always good to have friends who could be professional party planners. These girls went all out. The attention to detail was amazing. From the roses to the table settings to the individual programs. They downloaded the actual program, so we had the horses name, number, jockey and the odds of them winning. We got to make our bets. It was fun to enjoy all their hard work and clever planning. Thanks girls it was simply splendid....even if I did come stag, because I made Mark take the middle boys to their tennis match.
