The Kentucky Derby!
I really love horse racing! For years it's been our tradition to watch the Kentucky Derby as a family and make our picks for the winner. This year, the 136th Derby, was a bummer that Cody was gone, but the kids and I had tons of fun anyway. Jocelyn and I love horses so we were pretty much in heaven and Aimee, of course, thought we were watching it for all the hats!

The track was so "sloppy" as they call it, covered in tons of mud from the heavy rain they'd had, but I tell you what, it is pretty intense and so awesome to see the fastest two minutes in sports. This year's winner was "Super Saver" riden by Jockey Calvin Borel who's won the Derby three out of the last four years. That's a record. So now we can get excited for the other two races in the Triple Crown- The Preakness is on Sat. May 15 and the Belmont Stakes is Sat. June 5.

I love the hats!!!
For as long as I can recall I can remember watching the Kentucky Derby with my dad. I don't even pay much attention to the other triple crown races, but the Derby is one I hate to miss!
Ang!
We are more alike in so many ways than we realize. Don't forget I've known you since you were about 4 years of age! I read your blogs and I see my own fun family stuff I use to do with the girls, we have the same thoughts and values. I am honored to be your aunt. I hope that my blogs do bring you a smile once in a while. Love you honey! Your a great mom and example to me!
