The Kentucky Derby

  

Go Super Saver!!!                                                                                      

I just love  The Kentucky Derby...even if you have to wait all day for a horse race that lasts only one minute (ok, one and a half minutes).  I'm not kidding when I tell you the horse I wanted to win, won!  I was hoping Super Saver would win, partly because I love to save (coupons, etc.); also,  the jockey, Calvin Burrell, snuck up and won last year, and in fact has won 3 of the last 4 Derbys.  Lastly, a guy bet $100,000 on Super Saver, and ended up winning $900,000! You gotta love it.  That's how my Saturday went.

The Iron Man-St. George, Ut. May 1, 2010

I did go shopping alone, since Bill rode his bike out to a location where the Ironman race was zipping by. Bill is so cute.  Just about everytime the St. George Marathon rolls around, Bill loves to ride his bike up to the route, and be the biggest cheerleader for the runners.  With the Iron Man in town, he couldn't resist it, and took off around 8 am.  That's a pretty early Saturday for Bill; you gotta give him props for that.  Traffic was crazy today, since they had to close a bunch of streets to accomodate the race.  Can you imagine swimming 2.5 miles, biking 112 miles, and then to top it off, running a marathon?  I'm there, sign me up next year.  I guess St George has a 5 year contract with Iron Man, Inc., so we have this for the next 4 years.  Get ready everyone.

Bill and Mandy are in their last week of teaching, with finals ending next Friday.  I've got 3 more weeks, and then I'm free, whoopie!

Silly boys

I wast just looking over some photos I took when we drove up to Zion National Park a couple of weeks ago with Summer and Tyler and the kids.  Here's a picture of Bill, Tyler and Will as they raced us up to Zion...and back again.

Don't you love Tyler's intensity?
