Derby with us!

Our Derby Week began with good friends and airplanes and ended with a good nights sleep and a little money in our pockets. We had a great time with friends and family and are looking forward to it again next year!

This picture has nothing to do with Derby... ohps! In looking back at previous blogs- I've left out my parents... how rude of me! Here is a picture of us from Ben's Baptism.

On to Derby week!

Our good friends Sujata and Atul invited us to watch the air show with them. Their good friend lives on top of The Old Spaghetti Factory downtown and we watched the jets from his roof top, which was really neat! Taylor thought the jets were too loud so she and Avani found the good stuff downstairs in the kitchen!



Then we went to the Pegasus Parade with Gramma. Luckily it was sponsored by Republic Bank and our best friend, Ashley, scored us tickets! This is a picture of me trying to get an almost 2 year old to stay put... not easily done!



there... Taylor strapped in the stroller... MUCH better! Ben came too... but slept the whole time.



The University of Louisville marching band.

Taylor caught on and yelled... "C-A-R-D-S... Go Cards Go!" She must be ready for football season!



Taylor clapping to the band...


The Pegasus herself... (I'm assuming it's a lady)




This is the River City Drum Corp. When I worked at Brooklawn, some of our boys were part of this drumming band... It was really neat to see them perform but I didn't see any of the boys I worked with.





We saw LOTS of horses...


While we were having fun at the parade, my new hot gardener was working hard at home! We have done a lot of stuff to our yard... acting like real grow- ups! David has really done the most. He has mulched all our beds, added borders to all the beds and is mowing once a week now. I've moved some hostas around to make a nice hosta bed and planted some new flowers to add some color to the back yard. My Mom planted us a small herb garden in the back too!



David's parents took us to Oaks again. We had a great time, as always!


This picture didn't turn out so great- but we also met up with Lauren, Ashley, and Logan at Oaks!


It was a great day and we really enjoyed ourselves being just David and Megan for the day... not Taylor and Ben's parents!


Derby day was yucky and rainy. We had a few friends over and watched the races. We did win a little bit of money too! Taylor spent her Derby day walking around in Ashley's heels!


We wish you a great week! Our next blog will be of Taylor's second birthday! Time flies when you're having fun! We also wish all the mothers out there a fabulous week. We love our mothers and are so thankful for them!
Happy Spring! ~Megan
