Think Spring!!

Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to lately. The first two are of the baking project Cora and I did tonight. We are welcoming the warm weather and hoped these fun flower cupcakes would encourage it to stay this way (thanks for the fun cookbook Mom!).

Next up we have a few pictures from Cora's first bowling experience. I was pretty bummed that I forgot my camera, but my sister snapped these on her phone. Sadly, a camera phone doesn't do action shots very well. It took a little convincing to get Cora to put on the bowling shoes because she said they were "ugly boy shoes" and of course a Princess can not be seen wearing "ugly boy shoes!" I was also unaware a bowling ball could roll that slowly and still make it all the way to the end. It was perhaps the LONGEST game in history, but we still had a great time!

And the final picture is from date night last week. Mark surprised me with tickets to see the Boise Philharmonics. Having never been to an orchestra, I did not know what to expect. Simply put, it was amazing. It was also a great excuse to get dressed up (which I love to do!). In case you are wondering why Mark looks so worn out, it is not because the symphony put him to sleep (this picture was taken before we even left the house), it is because he had just returned from a back to back snowboarding/hunting trip and was exhausted. He was such a good sport though and never complained once. I loved everything about the night and so I was thrilled to hear Mark say we should do it again soon. Yippee!
