Austin's Derby 30

We celebrated Austin's Dirty Thirty in style this weekend at the horse races at Lone Star Park for opening weekend! We had an awesome group that came out to help Austin celebrate the big day, which truly meant so much to us. We chartered a bus to drive us to Grand Prairie. We enjoyed cocktails, music and lots of laughs on the way to the races! Did I mention the party attire was "Kentucky Derby"....seer sucker, pastels and obnoxious hats?

Grandmom's 85th and Easter Weekend

For Easter this year Austin and I went to Weatherford to visit my grandmom and celebrate her 85th birthday. We had so much fun visiting with her and hearing stories from her past, especially the stories about my grandfather, whom passed away before I was born. His name was Austin as well. Listening to her stories of their courtship during WWII and reading all the love letters they sent back and forth while my grandfather was stationed overseas are fascinating.

We met my Uncle, Aunt, my cousin, Claire and her husband Richard out for dinner at a favorite local restaurant, Fire Oak. The food is always amazing! Then we went to my aunt and uncle's house to have cake and celebrate!

We attended a lovely Easter Service and took a couple of quick shots at Chandor Gardens, next door to my grandmom's house.


Happy 85th Janie and Happy Easter!
