~Off to the races~

Today is my father-in-law's big 70th borthday!
WOW!

To celebrate, each year the boys (hubby included) love to go to Emerald Downs for the horse races. Not just to bet (we bet small moolah) but to enjoy some fun company, food, drinks and good people.

This year Andy's dad was the big winner, winning on a tri-fecta (that's guessing which horses, and in what exact order they will win). Pretty rare especially out of 8-9 horses!

Birthday luck!

I won $24 and was a happy camper.

We enjoyed some roast beef sandwhiches with garlic fries, a latte . . .
Andy had a beer and I had a yummy raspberry margarita.

Brought floppy along . . . hey it's the horse races!

Andy never buys coffee . . . but he sure does drink mine lol I guess things are better shared!

Mmmmm birthday tradition: Cakes from Hoffman's bakery.

Black Forest Cake:

soooo goood!

Good times!

Happy Birthday Father-in-Law!

Psssst mom and dad thank you so much for bringing me into this world!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there, as well as soon to be mothers!

(I found this cute letter online and wanted to share it with my mom.)

Love you mama (Nancy!)

(Sorry no good pics on my laptop, here with my brother, mom, and little sis)

To My Dear Mother,

Mom, thank you for teaching me that "everyone is equal in this world." That not one person is better than another. That we are all human and that we all make mistakes.

Mom, thank you for teaching me to "never go to bed angry at someone." That there is always tomorrow to discuss it over and come to some kind of agreement. To kiss and love the person anyway because we never know when they will be taken from us.

Mom, thank you for teaching me that "you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar." That you should be kind and soft spoken instead of using harsh words. That anger just makes things worse.

Mom, thank you for teaching me that "if you haven't got anything nice to say don't say anything at all." That it is much better to remain silent than to say something that you will regret later on and cannot take back.

Mom, thank you for teaching me that "patience is a virtue." That in this world you will need to wait sometimes and that instant gratification just makes your heart want more.

Mom, thank you for teaching me that "good things come to those who must wait." That if it is meant to be it will happen. That if it is not meant to be than there is a reason even though we do not know why. That someday we will understand when the time is right.

Mom, thank you for teaching me to "treat others as you would like to be treated." That "putting yourself in someone else's shoes" will open your eyes to how they must feel.

I honor you, Mom, with my love and gratitude because of these things that you have taught me in life. I will never forget them. Because of you, Mom, I have become a person who tries to be nonjudgmental, kind, patient, fair, loving and compassionate.

I only hope that I can pass these same characteristics down to my child, so that he will be as proud of me as I am of you.

I love you, Mom. May you be blessed always.

Happy Mother's Day with Love.
