The past couple of weeks

I realized I forgot a few photos so I've added a few more. Thanks for checking it out.

When will it end

Okay, I'm talking about winter here in Montana. It seems like we are on the neverending plan this year for winter. Spring just can't seem to break through. We're hoping for it this week! Rylie tried to go out and be springy this weekend. Thanks for the chalk, Uncle Charles!

My parents came for the weekend from Miles City and Rylie called them along the way to see where they were. She loves to talk on the cell phone. I could only hear her end of the conversation and it went like this:

Rylie: Hi, where are you?
unaudible reply
Rylie: You're in a snowbank? me, saying to Rylie, They're in a snowbank? Rylie shaking her head and whispering, "Not anymore"
Rylie: You're at Three Forks? Okay
me taking the phone at this point
Me: You were in a snowbank?
Mom: No, I told her it was like we were in a snowglobe.
I get it now!

Little Daredevil

Rylie likes to climb on things and jump off of things, so it is no surprise that Rori is following in her footsteps! Rylie brought up her dress up chest and Mark found Rori using it for other things.

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-March 2009
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...
Rylie-May 2005
