Ellie Bellie

Sweet baby Elle turned two yesterday, I can't believe how quickly time is flying with my little baby. I'll try and see if I can post some pics on this computer. We had a nice quaint family party and of course like all children, Elle enjoyed the balloons more than the gifts (at first...well the balloons are the only thing she has played with consistently since yesterday).

We had fun with this North Dakota wind the past few days with some kite flying; I don't think kite flying has ever been made easier. It's constantly windy here, I'm surprised there isn't some sort of festival or something...anyway, even Elle flew the kite (is that right English? who cares).
Ok, I'm ready to be off this computer for now...hopefully many pics will be coming your way soon.

p.s. I kicked butt on Jeopardy tonight, anyone else? I think I could have made a few thousand dollars, whoop-up!

Brower Power Road Trip 2009!!!!!!!

For those of you who don't know our little family will be taking our first road trip...tomorrow!
We are driving to North Dakota to visit Jeremy's parents!! I CAN NOT WAIT!!! We are all so excited and have been looking forward to this trip for many months.
So we may be coming to a town near you soon.
We plan to leave tomorrow at 6am (we'll see) and make our way up through Washington, northern Idaho and Montana, we'll be staying in Montana overnight then through the great state of MT and almost all the way across North Dakota will we reach our destination. After a glorious 10 day stay with Jeremy's parents we will head down through a small part of Minnesota and South Dakota and stay the night in Nebraska. The next day we'll head to Colorado to visit my old college roommate Ariane and her three kids!!! I'm pretty sure Eva will be in need of a playdate by then, after that we head to Utah!! We're going to play the tourists and take the girls to Temple Square and do as much as possible to show them everything. We're staying the night in SLC or some outskirt because staying in SLC is EXPENSIVE! Then we're heading up through Utah to Rexburg, Idaho!! Yay, I am so excited. We haven't been back since we left when Eva was 3 months old. I am so excited just to visit, I know there wont be anyone that we know there (besides Jeremy's little brother, whom we're staying with), but I am hoping to have lunch with some friends from Payless!! I should probably set that up...hmmm. Anyway, after that we'll head back home, we'll be gone for a total of two weeks! I am nervous and excited for the girls and I've gotten a lot of GREAT ideas on how to keep them entertained but if anyone has any other ideas leave them in the comments because I will take them!
I will hopefully be able to update as we're going on our trip, and I will take tons of awesome pictures!

I suck @ blogging

Eva modeling her eBay pants from Grandma- that's right people Abercrombie & Fitch for $5. This is what I see when I come around corners at my house. This is typical Elle.

She's so adorable it almost physically hurts.

This is the first picture of my girls that I said, "Wow, they look like sisters!"

Gorgeous. I can only imagine the teenage years, and I'm 99% sure Elle will be the instigator and she will also give me all of my grey hairs.
