I tried to update this crazy thing the other day, and my computer ruined it, so I guess I'm behind now. We finished up racing meet at Manor Park with a nice finish from We Have A Secret. All of the horses and track crew made it to Ruidoso, NM earlier this week and are settling in. We are looking forward to getting back to the mountains. The bluebonnets were absolutely gorgeous around here this year. of course, I didnt take many pictures, but here are a few. We have slowed down to a crawl as we wait on Baby McKinney #2 to arrive. I had my heart set on last night's full moon, but no such luck. We will head back to Austin for another appointment and sonogram tomorrow morning. In the meantime, Drake has been enjoying everything around here. We have begun using the pool regularly and he has been fishing almost daily.

We'll keep ya updated!!!

so many things to post about! First, Tyler and Avery came to play and the guys and kids enjoyed their first day in the pool! Needless to say, it was a bit cold, but the kiddos loved it anyway. We also had such a fun Easter weekend. The Manor Downs Derby and Futurity both had trials at Manor Park so Micah, Drake and I were joined by Gary and we went to Austin for Saturday night. We had a really fun time at the track. Fredericksburg Too, We Have A Secret and Charm Dance (whom I don't have a picture of) all raced and We Have A Secret did in fact qualify for the finals!!! We are very excited. They take the top 10 times of the trials, so April 18 is the Manor Derby finals; purse $100,000. Hey Say Neigh (also no picture) raced for his first time on Sunday. It was quite a learning experience for him as they backed them out of the gates twice. Once, a horse flipped over and they had to start over, and secondly a different horse refused to enter the gates. Anyway, he ran well and decided to buck and kick when the jockey hit him with the bat which threw him way off. He did not qualify for the futurity, but we have high hopes for Ruidoso beginning in May.

Easter Sunday began with us with a visit from the Easter Bunny in our room! Drake thought that was wonderful and even though he brought presents, Drake still decided it was in his best interest to not hug the bunny. The Four Seasons had a wonderful Easter brunch and then an egg hunt. Drake hunted with kids 1-4 in age. They were all cute. Drake finally figured out the object was to pick up the eggs and put them in his basket. I think we may spend our next Easter there as well!

We visited the San Antonio zoo last week and had such a good time. Drake was very excited to see the "bazoo".
