Derb-a-licious weekend update.

Derby weekend is over and I'm still recovering from all the fun. I'm going to try to get caught up here but who knows how far I'll get!

Derby weekend was such a success. Friday night was totally amazing. I had so much fun with my ladies at the Fillies and Stallions Party! I was super excited to get to meet Aaron Rogers and so many of the UofL basketball team! Here are some pictures from that night.  Also, these are totally out of order because this blog site drives me nuts and I can't figure it out half of the time and I don't feel like uploading every single picture one by one. So there.

Me, Aaron Rogers & Ashlee. WHAT!!!

Very nice and soft spoken guy. I was so excited to meet him! (PS...Thanks Brittney for making this happen)

Bonefish apps with the ladies before heading out.

Me and my bestest. Love this lady.

My best girl. 

Momma's ready for some fun!

After the Fillies and Stallions party luckily for me Krista was sober and was willing to drive us home! Yay! I hate not sleeping in my own bed, especially if I have things to do the next morning. So anyway, once I got home I ate some chicken ramen noodles and took my butt to bed. At 4am. Shew wee. Momma doesn't party like that anymore. :-)

I woke up ready to go at 8:45am. Yep. I LOVE DERBY DAY! I quickly texted the husband a big ol' Happy 30th Birthday text since he was in a turkey blind and go up ready to start my day! I really didn't have much to prepare because I did a lot the day before since I was off. I went to try and find Derby programs and that was a complete bust. Everyone was sold out. So I ventured over to Starbucks and had the new Caramel Crunch Frappe. OMG. Talk about life changing. It was seriously the best drink ever. I totally gained 3 pounds last week but I've gotten back on track since then. So, I got my starbucks and a ham, egg & swiss croissant and then I went back home to prepare for the rest of the day.

I had Pandora jamming the Lorde station while I was making food. Ryan got home around noon and started getting the corn hole boards ready and all the fish and turkey set out for the fish fry. YUM!

People started arriving around 2 and Geoff and I got our corn hole winning streak underway. We were beat a few times but I'm pretty sure we were still the champions of the whole wide world. (As my dad would say.) :-)

Me and Krista being twinsies.

Me and momma.

My love. 

Who knows.

The Derby pots were selling, corn hole was being played, fish and frog legs were being fried and everyone was having a good time! My baby girl finally got home around 4. My mother in law kept her Oaks night and most of the day Derby so I could get things ready for the party. Little bug was tired but she had fun playing with her best buddy Raegan.

Once the Derby was done and California Chrome was declared the winner I was pumped because I actually won the $5 Derby pot! I never win these things and I always spend so much money! Cali Chrome was the favorite so  when I drew him I definitely didn't think that I was going to win because the favorites don't win often. I knew I was taking my winnings to target to get some cute skirts. Yay!

We hung out with friends until around 930 and then Ryan and I were beat so we went to bed. On Sunday we had his birthday dinner over at his parents. Enchiladas, chocolate cake and ice cream. YUM! Jan's chocolate cake is amazing and this time she put a layer of fudge in it. WHAT?! I didn't eat any after the enchiladas but I did have a small piece later that night and it was so delicious. (I told you I gained 3 pounds last week)

So there you have it folks. My Derby weekend update. It was a lot of fun and it was exhausting and I'm already looking forward to next year!

365 update will be up tomorrow along with a few other things!

Last post before the MAIN EVENT!

I'm guessing this will be my last post until after all of this weekends festivities have ended. I have a busy weekend ahead of myself so I don't forsee any blog time in my near future. I just have to survive this last work day and then it's straight fun for the next 4 days. Yes 4. I'm so going to enjoy this 4 day weekend!

Tomorrow I have a ton of things to do. I have to pick up Ryan's birthday cake, go grocery shopping, go shoe shopping, go accessory shopping, clean my house, food prep for Saturday, get ready and then go to the Fillies & Stallions party at Mellwood Arts Center. I'm really looking forward to this event. I don't get out too much these days because I would rather be home with my love bugs but when I do go out, I make sure I have a good time.

I'm meeting my sister and my lovely friends at my sisters condo tomorrow at 730. Then our plan is to get some appetizers at Bonefish and then head down to the party. Should be a good time filled with dancing, drinks and a few celebrities. Looking forward to it.

I have to be somewhat careful on my drink intake because I have a party to host on Saturday for the Derby! This is the 7th year that Ryan and I have thrown a Derby party. I'll admit, in years past things have gotten a little crazy but now that most of our friends have kids we keep it under control a little better. Everyone still has a great time but there's not as much debauchery going on. :-)

Saturday is also Ryan's 30th birthday so we've mixed that in with the Derby party too. I've already told him his present  because I had to make sure he was ok with it before I pulled the trigger. He doesn't get it until November though! I got us tickets to go see Notre Dame/Louisville play up at South Bend on November 22nd. He is a huge Notre Dame fan and duh, I'm a huge Cardinal fan so of course we are going to be going to that game. Not only are we going but about 15 of my friends are going as well and we all have hotels for the whole weekend. Ryan couldn't be the only Notre Dame fan with all us crazy Card fans so we asked his cousin Adam if he wanted to go and of course he said yes. It's going to be SO much fun! Leaving our kiddo for a weekend might be rough though! At least I still have a few months to prepare for that.

So. That's my weekend plans. Sunday we are eating at Ryan's parents for his birthday dinner and then Monday I'm off work again so I guess I'll write up a weekend summary then. Be prepared for lots of iphone pics!

Have a great DERBY weekend my friends!!

IT'S DERBY WEEK!

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I'm so excited! This is my absolute most favorite time of the year! I had plans to take Charlie to the Balloon Glow on Friday with Courtney and the kiddos but of course she is still recovering from that stinkin ear infection so we didn't go. My mother in law came over and brought me dinner and watched Charlie for a little while so I could go run some errands. That woman is a SAINT! Seriously, they help us out so much and I'm super grateful. All of our parents have been so much help. They aren't kidding when they say it takes a village. I'm glad I've got a large one!

So anyway this weekend wasn't exactly as fun as I wanted it to be. We had our friendly weight loss competition yesterday and I didn't win. Boo. BUT I've lost 14.8% of my body weight in 4 months so who gives a CRAP!? The money would have been nice but I prefer this lifestyle change and I have plans to keep losing until I get to my goal. 15 more pounds to go! Trucking on. Big congrats to my friends Ashley Shutts and Brian Vogel. They killed the competition. As did Brian's wife Kristin and my best buddy Geoff. Plan get skinny for summer is in effect!

Aside from weigh in yesterday me and Charlie didn't do much. Ryan came home early from the farm and I needed that break because Charlie was driving me bonkers. So when he got home I ran some errands and picked up some things for the Derby party and then last night my friend Geoff came over for some friend time and I had a few drinks for the first time in a month. I sure do love Blue Moon. Yum.

Today was uneventful. Charlie slept most of the day and I got to get the house somewhat put together. There's still work to do but everything will be in order for the party this weekend.

Here's what I've been up to:

112/365

The boys had a good day.

Double Ear Infection :-(
