It's almost March~Yipee!

Laying pretty Bella.

The last few weeks have been like the last 20 months of our life.... B~U~S~Y! Nothing that needs to be put on the top of the list but just always something going on. "T" has been working at the Lone Tree Bar (Downtown) for the last few weekends. Which mean "P" and I have lot's of quality time together. He has worked there for years, now that he has a "Real" job he just fills in when people need time off. They call him the Godfather of bar tending since he is the oldest by ten years~ old fart. The money is great and it allows us to take some great trips or buy some cool fish for his very expensive hobby of keeping a 125 gallon salt water fish tank.

"P" has had a very busy social calender in the last few weeks. She has spent lots of time with my cousins who are almost thirteen. She adores them as they also adore her. They are great little babysitters. Last weekend we celebrated my cousin Maddie's 10th birthday. They came to our house and we had a little party. The next day we went to Grand Rios. Piper enjoyed the water slides. She is a real daredevil, I wonder where she got that from.....?

Cousins: Michelle, Megan and Maddie


She is in her third week of gymnastics and amazing me every time. She is really doing a great job following directions and learning how to work all her big muscles. Her friend Madelyn will be joining the team next week. She is also loving ECFE.

This weekend Daddy has a Ski event to keep up his Ski Instructor certification so we are planning on hanging around the house. We will probably take Auntie Jen out for her 22nd birthday. Happy Birthday Jen!

Other than that we are counting the days until Utah...13. I got new skis and can't wait to see how fast they go.

Until next time.....

Piper's new passion...Collecting money in her bucket.

Finally, warming up! Trying the new backpack.

Happy Valentines Week!



Well it's not exactly Valentines but its close enough. We had a great heart day. Since it was a Thursday we celebrated last weekend. Nothing over the top but we had or friends JD and Amy over and had a great time. As far as the actual day~didn't wake up to breakfast in bed or a house full of thousands of roses, but I did wake up being thankful for the wonderful family I have. "T" and "P" are the best Valentines gift I could ever ask for. "P" didn't think anything was different except that she got a cute new outfit from Grandma Gin, a Jack N Box (have been searching high and low for this old time classic)from daddy and some great new books about potting training and ditching the paicifier/Nuk (or Guk) if your 20 months old. When mommy got home from work we decided to make a Valentines Day cake. As you can see "P" was a great help and loved the mixer.




Everything in the Perron family is status quo~ Piper did start gymnastics this week at Twin City Twisters in Champlin. I know what you all must be thinking~ I'm crazy or I'm trying to turn her into a gymnast because I never was. No I am not crazy, maybe a little, and no I'm not thinking she'll be an Olympic gymnast. But, if she is Mama would be proud. Actually we signed up just to get out of the house and have "P" meet other kids and have some fun. It's only been one week so stay tuned for further updates.

Until next time..............Love from the Perron Family:)
