Happy Birthday, Dear Elsinore!!!

We had a Birthday party at Grandpa's house to celebrate Elsinore turning 2. Mom, Dad, Grandpa, NaNa, PopPop, Great Grandma Jo, Greata Joe, Hailey, Olive, Matt, Jana, Lindsey, Lynette, Chris, Denise, Scott, and Marney all joined the celebration. We ate spaghetti with Bolognese sauce (special recipe from Tia Kelli), Caesar Salad, and Carrot Cake with ice cream. Elsinore received many wonderful presents and Olive helped her open them. It was so much fun. Thanks everyone!

Birthday morning at the Boise Zoo

Elsinore enjoyed a beautiful morning at the Boise zoo with Mom, Dad, Olive, Uncle Scott, and Jana. There were thousands of school age children running around which was just as interesting to the girls as all of the animals and play structures.

Hoo! Hooo!

A very special and talented friend of Elsinore's anonymously left these two fabulous owls at Giraffe Laugh yesterday for her to take home. I'm quite jealous of these masterpieces, but I don't think there is any way Elsinore is going to share them with me. She loves them. When I asked her to please show me her owls she began flying them around in the air and said, "Hoo, Hoo". She also wanted them to do everything with her this morning...from peeing on the potty to reading books. oh - and Olivia was given one equally fabulous Daddy owl. Thank you anonymous friend!

Thank You Easter Bunny!

The Easter Bunny was late getting to our house this morning but just after I ate my first breakfast we heard him in the basement making all kinds of noise. We quickly ran down to see if we could catch him. Unfortunately, I got distracted by the eggs he left on the stairs. By the time we reached bottom, he was gone!

He did leave two great boxes of toys, eggs and candy though. It was awesome!

( He also messed up the basement but I'm sure Tia will clean that up later.)
