We had quite the eventful weekend! It started out Friday night at SLCC watching Hailee play. Unfortunately, they lost by only 4 points. It was such a CLOSE game all the way down to the very end. Bummer! Saturday was a big day.. Hailee played down at Snow college and instead of driving down to see her play she requested that the family go back to SLCC to watch the Syracuse lady titans play in their 3rd Championship game in a row. Of course this year they got the W! We'll be Titan fans for life :) I didn't get to go to the game with my mom and grandma because it was also the BIG horse racing weekend at Golden Spike. Last year and this year Cody has been helping a lot with his dads chariot team and he just LOVES it. It's been so fun getting to watch them race every weekend but this past weekend was the State races so it was a bit more intense than just the usual races. Their team has done so well this year and ended up in the first division (the first place/best teams). Cody had literally been pacing around the house all week long getting ready for it. All their hard work paid off and they totally deserved to win.. and win they did :)

After the race, we all headed out onto the track for our picture!

After the race, getting the horses all cleaned up and ready to take over to the test barn where they have to take a mandatory drug test on the winning horses. Notice their awesome trophy :)
Afterwards we went up to Codys dads to "celebrate" and get the horses all cleaned up and fed. Aren't they sooo cute?? (Cody is Gregs little mini me!) I'm SO happy he's been able to help his dad so much, I know they have both loved getting to spend so much time together. It's really been so fun!!

I honestly never thought Cody would be as much into this horse racing as he's been but he has totally fallen in love with it and I couldn't be happier for him! My cute cowboy.. who would've thought? :)
