Bourbon Derby

 

This handsome forever date of mine is also my favorite co-party planner.

We had the best time planning and hosting our annual Kentucky Derby party.

 

As you know, my favorite part of life is taking pictures, so we loved the backdrop. 

 

My favorite snack was the chex mix.  It was so unbelievably addictive and delicious. 

 

Gary and I love having guests to our home.  We are thankful for our friends old and new.

 

Even though the race result wasn't what we hoped we still had an amazing night celebrating and entertaining. 

a day at the track

Number 12 made cheer!!

 

Layla made the JV cheer team for her 9th grade year!! We're so proud and excited for her.

 

Eight of the nine cheer friends from 8th grade year tried out and made it too.  All the girls met at Freddy's and waited to hear the news. It was a little loud, once the results were posted.  There were lots of squeals and hugs!

 I'm so excited for Layla and her buddies to have another fun year of cheer together.

A day visit to the country

 

Sometimes you just have to jump in the car and drive to Bosque county for some time in the country. 

 It's always fun to stand around the fire and tell stories.

I'm thankful for a peaceful place to escape the city life.  The kiddos need to have a simple day every now and then away from the hustle and bustle of town living.

Painting for Valentine's night

 

Gary and I were gifted a fun evening of painting and beer.

As you can see we painted flamingos!

I had the most fun, but I feel like my flamingo looks like a swan.  I got a little carried away with the feather brush strokes!  We had such a fun time.  We don't typically go out on Valentine's Day  night, but this was a fun time for sure!  I'm glad we did it.

Superbowl Sunday

 

Superbowl Sunday is just another reason to make yummy food and have a party!

 

We went Mexican themed this year.  Gary grilled some meat and Gary and I had Mexican bowls.  The kids did nachos and quesadillas.

 

We had a fun night and as always enjoyed the commercials. The halftime show is always a treat also!
