Mother's Day 2010

Mother's Day 2010 was a scene from my favorite show "Modern Family".  Alison was singing at Lone Star Park for the horse races.  I found out my baptist preacher husband LOVES horse racing!  He can always pick the winner as long as he doesn't bet on the horses.  Going to my born and raised Baptist Mom's first horse races was a field trip by itself!  It was also Aslynn's first horse race.

So there we are - Alison's singing the Star Spangled Banner and doing FABULOUS!!  Aslynn can't understand why her Mom is in a little box - ie the small TV in our suite at the races.  Every time Aslynn sees a horse she is clapping her hands and saying "neeeeigh, neeeigh".  Oh did I mention Jimmy and Sally were there too.  Eric did a great job entertaining all of us!

Alison get back from singing and we are about to have the first race.  Alison is trying to get the winner from Charles before they put their $5 on a horse.  HURRY!  The race is about to start Charles!  Eric come here quick - do you have the money honey??  My Mom is shouting, "vote for that horse, vote for that horse.  he's from McKinney!  I'm in the middle of our Mary Kay end of the year race - I'm thinking about the movie Seabisquit and Dreamer - movies about race horses - "We are the race horse.  Not the pace horse"  We can do it!  We are a great champion! ~~~ and I am crying my eyes out.  The whole park is cheering and I'm crying.  Vote for that one!  Charles hurry pick the winner!  Neeigh Neeigh!  

Our Modern Family moment at the horse races ~ Lone Star Park.  FUNNNN!
