Two years old!

"A two-year-old is kind of like having a blender, except you don't have a top for it."

Perrie Grace turned 2 yesterday. Hard to believe that it's been two years since she graced us with her presence (at 4 in the morning, of course). Everyone agrees that she looks like Brandon, but she certainly has a personality all her own! We are looking forward to enjoying another year of her silly antics ... and probably a little of the "terrible twos"!

Happy birthday Perrie!

Let It Snow!

Snow day in Seattle! I know, it's not a big deal for those of us from Eastern Montana. But it's a big deal for an almost 2-year-old AND all Seattle-ites. The roads here turn into ice rinks so my clinic was closed & Brandon's work had a snow day yesterday. My mom made it in in the nick of time after a long, long journey back from the airport.

Perrie & Cecelia in their snow gear. (That's right, red cowboy boots are our most appropriate snow shoes ... definitely need to go shopping before our trip back to Montana!)


Catching snow in our mouths


My snow angel (couldn't convince anyone else to participate)


Our SECOND trip out into the snow. Now I catch her looking out the window and I know what's coming ... within about 15 seconds she is tugging on her mittens and hat to go "catch snow in my mouth".

Friends 4-Ever

Perrie has two friends that she loves to share her days with ...

Perrie and Chloe


Cecelia and Perrie


By random chance, Cecelia's mom is from Montana too. Unfortunately, Cecelia is a Griz fan ... Perrie doesn't hold it against her (much).
