Parent night

Last Tuesday was parent night at Mallory's dance class. They did their recital routine and other little things that they do during their classes. It was so cute and fun to watch.

Company fun

Our friends Brandon and Kristin from Ohio visited this weekend. Mallory and Michael loved having them to play with. Paul was Brandon's pastor at one time and officiated their wedding in Sept of 07. M and M are sporting their darling matching Hilo Hattie outfits that Martha and Wesley brought them from Hawaii.

Brother/Sister love

These are Mallory and Michael's friends Caroline and Carter. They were dressed sort of alike on Sunday like M and M were so I had to take a few pix.

I love being a mommy

We celebrated Mother's Day on Saturday by going out to dinner in Lexington at Rafferty's. After that we went to Culver's for frozen custard. It was a great evening. Today I got a little second treat when we went to Wallace Station for lunch . It was a gorgeous day and we sat outside. Last night Mallory got in bed with us some time in the night and then Michael did too. I loved waking up with my babies beside me.

At the game farm

We went to the Salato Wildlife Center the other day for a little nature fun. It's right here in Frankfort and is free so it's a great place to take the kids.

Hanging out in the gazebo

Derby Day!

The first Saturday in May is always the Kentucky Derby. It is sort of the biggest day of the year here. There is a Governor's Derby Breakfast on the capitol grounds and we have been every year since we got here. Today was our fourth one. There's lots to see and do and we always enjoy going. We saw our friend Elisabeth Martin there. She is the first white Miss KSU, Kentucky State Univ-a HBCU-Historically Black College or University.
