get ready for africa!

get excited folks- the world cup is in south africa this year!

derby day!

i love the kentucky derby.

such a fun event with such great traditions.  i watch it every year happily. hugh could care less as long as i make derby pie.  he's pretty adamant about that. and faith tried to get her mom to drive her up (over an hour) to our house just so that she could have a piece.

this year's derby day with a lovely group of friends...

my hat, complete with heirloom brooch from granny

none of us picked the winning horse, so kate got the prize for coming in closest to 1st

a recent trip hugh took out to colorado... he was worried that there wouldn't be enough snow. but these are the pics i got. and this came after the phone call saying that he was stuck in thigh high powder about 30 minutes off the trail (this due to the fact that he couldn't actually see through the snow enough to stay on the trail)
