Spring Fun


Yesterday was the 137th Kentucky Derby and we held a party to watch the action. I have always wanted to host a party complete with hats and mint juleps. So, we did! I made mint juleps (that with my tiny taste seemed to be a bit strong), derby pie, and Mike cooked non traditional hamburgers and hot dogs! The derby pie was delicious. We had had a great turn out and plenty of fantastic hats! Mike helped everyone bet with an online betting source. While everyone was eager to see their horse win, but Animal Kingdom, the horse we bet on with 30-1 odds, WON! Unfortunately, we only put $5, but hey we still won!

Bree is growing up so fast. We took our first professional photography family shoot this April to capture our growing family. Our photographer was smitten with Bree and Bree had the best time posing for the camera. I can't believe how fast she has grown and that we are shortly about to welcome another little Becker.
