The Protester

On President's Day, my parents headed to Helena with a busload of high school kids. My dad was the bus driver and my mom was the chief organizer. Mark and I were additional chaperones, trailing the bus. We met all the other kids at Helena High and headed up to the Capital building to give those legislators a piece of our mind. They are voting on more funding for the Montana Meth Project and so it was a huge showing of kids telling the legislature to say yes to more funding (not say yes to meth). Rylie got a ride on Grandpa's shoulders for part of the march. She even got her own sign. Go Rylie! Her picture ended up on the Montana Meth project website in the photos of the event.

Shoes, shoes, shoes...

Rori has been fascinated with shoes lately. She tries to put on everyone else's shoes. I seem to recall another little girl that liked other people's shoes...

Tribute to President's Day

On our way to the mailbox yesterday, Rylie told me about President George Lincoln, who cut down his dad's favorite cherry tree. Then he told the truth about it. Don't we wish all our presidents told the truth about everything. Funny!

Rori Rocks!

Rori is the big one!

We celebrated Rori's first birthday on Saturday. She was hilarious, I'll post video later. She loved all her presents and would flit from one to the other with a grin on her face! What a sweet girl!
We love you Ror!
