Taste of Spring

 

 

 

 

Great weekend here. Friday Ally got to miss school to perform with her fitness team at 3 area schools. 6 performances that day and 2 more at local festivals on Saturday. Sunday Brent and Ally headed out early to the Wachovia tournament. Back when we lived in Clemson, Brent used to golf with a couple guys on the golf team who are now pro. He got to chat with them for a few minutes at the tournament. I think he was hoping they'd ask him if he'd like to change careers to professional caddy! No luck, he's back to the world of corporate business today. My crazy kids went swimming yesterday. Actually just Ally and Brent. Alexa, Bryce and I thought they were both nuts!

Silly Girl

 

Alexa didn't seem to care much about Ally's caterpillar discovery, but she did think she was hilarious with her Dora undies on her head!!

A Boy...

 

 

 

and his Barbies!! I just love to torture Brent with things like this. Given that Brent is rather in touch with his feminine side I never thought that things like his son playing with Barbies, and wearing pink shirts would bother him. The fact that it does just makes it that much more fun! Heehee.

Rainy Monday

 

 

 

No school for Ally today (not exactly sure why). The girls decided to make the most of the rain. After about 2 minutes though they decided they were too cold and came in to watch a movie in my bed.

More From The Races

 

 

 

 

A Day At The Races

 

 

 

 

We spent Ally's birthday at a steeplechase. We started the day with Jack Russel races and then the hat contest. From there we headed to our friend's tent which was right next to the track. We got to see the horses and jockeys up close as they flew right past us. Nothing like teaching our children the joys of gambling early as they placed $1.00 bets on each race. Ally won the first race with a pot of $10. She almost won twice but her jockey fell off the horse at the end!!

Hat Contest

 

 

 

 

Wouldn't be a horse race without fancy hats.
