BiRtHdAy BoY!

Mac is one! Thursday night my parents and two younger brothers flew in to help celebrate Mac's first birthday. We had such a good time. At first Mac was a little stand offish but that quickly changed. WARNING... there's a lot of pictures

Mac is one spoiled boy. He got everything he needed and much, much more.

Friday to celebrate Mac's birthday we went to Keeneland to watch some horse races. My brothers and Mom were so surprised how many people showed up. They thought only a couple of hundred people not thousands would be there. Obviously they didn't know what a big deal horse racing is to the people of Kentucky. It was a crowded day but we were still able to get a bench close to the tracks.

We decided that Mac was born at the perfect time of year. The weather is usually perfect, it's horse racing season in Lexington and college football is going strong!

Ashlee, I love all the pictures! It's fun to see the pictures of Mac when he was just a baby. I really can't believe he is already one! The last time I saw you guys must have been at Sammy's baby shower! Wow, time goes by so quickly. I'm glad to see that Mac had a fun celebration with family!

Looks like you had a great time. I loved the family visits when you are so far away. They were always so exciting. I can't believe Mac is one. Hope to see you at Christmas!

What a party! I didn't realize that you had your brothers come out too. So fun! My family came out last year for UEA and brought my 15 year old brother and we hit Keenland too. I think we were the only folks there with 5 little kids and not drinking or smoking. We ended up watching the races by some garbage can because it was the only place we could see the track. Looked like you had better luck! It was so fun and I'd do it again in a heartbeat (though maybe minus the kids).

Hey Ashlee- We found you through Brooke and Trevor after you left us a comment. It was so fun to hear from you and you have so many cute pictures of your family, we loved looking at all of them.

About your trade offer--we'll take the toe nail clippings but you can keep Mac. Have fun with Ellie (she is cute but we hate cute).

Ashlee,

Thanks for helping with Josh in Primary today. You are the best and I loved talking to you.

I wanted to tell you that the new look on your blog looks awesome. I love it. And just think in just two more months, on your header you could write, 2 1/2 years down, 6 months to go! You're getting close!

Love,
Cheryl
