Go "Big Brown"!!!!!!

Kentucky Derby


Preakness

Taking a break


Good Boy!


As most people have a favorite sports team or sport to live by (Dad, Marsh, Morg, and Spence). I have a favorite sport as well. Horse racing. I am the nerd who watches the HRTV (Horse Racing Television Network). Every year I pick my favorite horse to watch. Well this year my favorite is Big Brown. A horse named after a UPS truck. He is a huge 2 1/2 yr old bay colt who stands almost 17 hands tall, and out runs the whole field. He has only 5 starts in his career and has won every single one. He beat a filly named Eight Belles in the Kentucky Derby. Sadly after the race she broke both front ankles and had to be euthanized on the track. He also won the Preakness by 5 horse lenghts! I love to watch him run, he is feisty and beautiful. After the Derby he was so full of energy that his Jockey was getting ready for a post interview on top of the horse and Big Brown threw him on the ground on tv! After the 2nd leg in the Triple Crown, first being the Derby, Big Brown has a crack on his front left hoof, but that will not stop him from going on to the Belmont Stakes, the final race in the Triple Crown. There has not been a horse that has won all three races to hold the title in 30 years. Hopefully my horse will do it. This track is fast and longer in length 1 mile and a half to be exact. The Belmont will be on June 7th so everyone cross your fingers!

Heading for Home!
Not a lick of mud on his face
50 Million dollars or more for his stud fee when he retires! Most horses here in Utah $1000




OH MY GOSH!!!! MY HAIR IS RED!!!!



I got the bright idea (from Haily) to cover my grey hair. She told me oh it will be so nice you will feel so refreshed with a new look. Ok the entire time I was in beauty school I never dyed my hair so I think making it to 33 is good. So I buy a dark color and this is what happened!! It is RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kennedy's Fall


Yesterday Haily took Kennedy to Liberty Park while Grandma got her hair done near there. As Haily was going up the curb Kennedy's hand slipped out of Haily's and she hit the curb face first. Mom couldn't tell who was more freaked out Haily or Kennedy. Get better Punky!

Just as shy as Dad


Easton wouldn't even look at me when I wanted to get this picture of his "Camping Face" Macie was trying to help but he was having no part of it. Hm sound familiar? As I recall Marshall used to be so shy that he would not even order pizza on the phone! He He He.

Lazy Sunday

So this is familiar. LAZY LAZY LAZY. No kidding in about 20 min. all 3 will be running around again.

Fresh Cut Grass

So Troy finally got a lawn mover (we have not cut our grass since we layed it last fall). So I decided I wanted to try it out. I cut the stupid grass 3 times!!! The first time it was not short enough for me. So I went to the back yard, that took me forever!! The dogs were having fun with the short grass and running everywhere. We have lovely burned spots already from the dogs, but hey that is part of it. So the best part is, Troy went over to introduce himself to some new neighbors while I worked on the yard. He came back (after the second cut) and asked me how I liked the new lawn mower? I said "You are going to love it!" In other words I am done cutting the lawn!!!!!!
