My First Mother's Day!

I had a wonderful First Mother's Day last Sunday! I am finally getting the pictures off the camera and onto to blog! Kennet offered to cook whatever I wanted for dinner. I requested seafood kabobs and a tomato/mozzerella salad. Above are the kabobs he made with shrimp and scallops along with jasmine rice! Below a few pictures, you will see the delighful salad!

We went out to breakfast at a fun place nearby called Chaps. Then, we spent the day wandering downtown and relaxing at home with Elsa. Kennet is getting some pictures framed of Elsa for me and still trying to talk me into new golf clubs...I am really attached to the old ones though. All in all, what a great day it was!

Elsa made me (with the help of her daycare teachers!) a plaster/play dough mold of one hand and one foot! I love it, what a sweet gift!

Here she is ready for me to open her gift!!

Just playing and having fun!

Elsa is showing off her artwork!

The salad I told you about! Yummy! Roma tomatoes, fresh mozzerella and fresh basil covered with a little olive oil and balsalmic vinegar!

Kentucky Derby Day

Okay, we are usually about a week or so behind on the blogging so here are a few pictures from Derby Day last Saturday. Yes, we love to watch the horses, but were very sad for the poor philly Eight Belles. Kennet and I thought it would be fun to make Mint Julips for the race...see below. I thought I really liked them until I gave one a try...GROSS!!!!!!!! I got them confused with mojitos (which have rum and are really good). Mint julips have bourbon apparently and are disgusting. But, here is Kennet making them and having fun with it anyway!

We'll get some Mother's Day pics on in the next day or so...have to get them off the camera!

Last Weekend in Missoula...

Happy Birthday Grammy!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went to Missoula last weekend to see my parents (Grammy Barb and Papa Bryce), Elsa's Great-Grandma Helen, and my sister Brittany and our brother-in-law Cameron. It was my Mom's birthday Friday and Elsa gave her some pottery above! We all pitched in and had a great birthday dinner (ok, my Dad cooked the prime rib and Kennet cooked the rest!)...Brittany and I are really good at organizing and providing the dessert and wine!! It was a great time! Dad, Kennet, and Cameron played some golf. Mom, Britt, and I hung out with Elsa. Brittany and Cameron moved to Polson, MT in January so we are thrilled to have them closer! We will see the house they just bought in Polson over Memorial Day weekend when we head up tp Flathead Lake. Here are a few of the other photos from the weekend. We finally were able to get outside and enjoy the nice weather!!

Papa and Elsa enjoy the sun on the back deck at my parents house.

Auntie Brittany and Uncle Cameron having fun with Elsa.

More poses on the deck...

Uncle Cameron and the rest of us think this is funnier than Elsa does...

First time in the grass...not sure how she feels about it!

"I don't want to look at the camera Daddy, I am trying to figure out what this green stuff is"

Sunshine and smiles!
