This is one of my favorite photographs ever taken!!! Patrick and Matt with a pony at the Foxfield horse races yesterday.
We went with a group of friends to the race and had a blast! The weather was dreary, but it didn’t rain and we were lucky to stay dry.
We took a spread of foods, including a few dozen homemade chipotle biscuits Matt made fresh that morning and a spread of crackers with my mom’s sherry cheese dip. Plus veggies and hummus, breakfast casserole and apple crisp.
Brooks Brothers was a big sponsor of the event and had their own hospitality tent with delicious food and wines by A Pimento Catering, who always does a great job.
Of course the fashion under their tent was top notch as well!
We had front row seats to the race!
And the horses weren’t the only ones doing the jumping ; )
Rewinding back to earlier in the weekend, my mother in law Karen is here visiting!! We made Sable fish for her on Thursday night along with asparagus and roasted squash.
Plus the first Schlafly of the season!
Friday night Karen had a bunch of her friends over for dinner. Apps galore!
We made BBQ in the crockpot and caprese salad for dinner.
Once we tucked Mazen into bed, we left Karen laughing with her friends and went to the No Scrubs dance party at the Jefferson Theater downtown. It was 90s themed, so I went with a Saved By The Bell look! {I found this shirt on Amazon, and it’s SO comfortable!}
We had a great time, but I wish they had played a bit more alternative 90s songs. We called it a night on the early side because I had big plans for a long workout in the morning.
At ACAC Bradley and Chris combined efforts and taught a 100 minute athletic conditioning class split between cardio and strength. It was a lot of fun, and the time flew by. I was totally drenched and exhausted by the end!
After a shower and a banana for some quick energy, we went to Brazos for brunch. Two breakfast tacos and one yam and bean!
Later that afternoon we took it easy and did a little rainy day painting.
This morning we’re fueling up with smoothies made with blueberries, banana, spinach and milk and bites of leftover biscuit and working on a puzzle.
Smarty pants puzzle guy!
That was all over the place, but it was a fun weekend through and through! Hope yours was as well.
No beer? Is there something you want to tell us? 😉
Plenty of wine!
Looks like a fun event! I love the Bayside sweatshirt – that would be a fun Halloween costume to do with a bunch of people!
Love the 90s jumper!!! Definitely the best decade!
So many fun things!! You have me in the mood for a costume party. Good thing Halloween is coming 🙂 And wow… bravo for the 100 minute class! That’s endurance. Enjoy Karen’s company! 🙂
I know nothing about photography but two of your pics threw me off – I’m assuming it’s the lighting? The first one of the boys and the horses makes their teeth look crazy yellow! (I’m sure they’re not like that in real life) and the 1st bayside sweatshirt one looks like you dyed your hair neon green! Does anyone else see that or am I crazy??
I love how much fun you always pack into your days! That 90s themed party looks like fun!
LOL! Cute title! Looks like a fun weekend. Matt’s homemade biscuits have been looking great! Hi KK!
Those biscuits look amazing! What a super fun weekend!
You always pack so much fun into your days!! And wow…Chris seriously got some game. How tall are you?!
5’2″…but he can jump over higher!
Hahahaha! I knew I’d love this post based on the name alone! I am OBSESSED with that song!! It got me through my latest half marathon!
ha, this post runs the gamut from Preppy Matt to Emo Matt! 🙂
haha
Was this the Foxfield family event? What a cute idea! Did Mazen and Karen hang out and pet horses and stuff?
Who is Patrick?! 😉
Guy on the left! Our friend
I think Patrick has some fans. 😉
Yes, but WHO IS HE? lol! 😉
Our friend!!
I always love seeing all the events you go to… All that delicious food makes me a bit … jealous. ;-D
Looks like fun! And I ?? your dress in the one pic… Black on top with stripes on bottom. Where is it from??? It looks perfect on you! ????
Would you share your mom’s recipe for Sherry Cheese….please?!?! Also, you mentioned a breakfast casserole….do you have a good and healthy recipe? Most breakfast casserole recipes are full of bad fat. Thanks!!!
It’s equal parts (generally 8 ounces of each) sharp cheddar and cream cheese plus several generous glugs of sherry. Garlic is optional – my mom puts it in raw which gives you garlic breath for days, and I have both omitted it (which was still delicious) and roasted it first.
My grandson the artist!
Matt looks cute in a bow tie! 😉
It looks like such a fun event. Love your dress – where is it from?
