Welcome to Prarie Pi. This blog exists to journal and document the memories that our family experiences. Pi is "an amount of type that has been jumbled or thrown together at random." We hope to assemble in words and pictures the daily thoughts and activities that happen in our household. We do this to help those that are distant from us get a glimpse into our days so that the miles that separate us won't keep us apart.

Buttercup is 11!



015
Buttercup had a wonderful day on her birthday!
We made treat bags to take to "school."

019
It was a beautiful morning as we set off for Mass to celebrate the Feast of the Guardian Angels.
028
After Mass, we went to our friend's house for school.  I am team teaching with another mom and it was the kid's turn to go to her house that day.  Mrs. L. had a cake and presents waiting for Buttercup when she got there.  She especially loved the new tie-blanket she received.  Buttercup had made one for her friend's birthday in January, and now Jessica made her one for Buttercup's birthday!

The kids worked on school in the morning and then daddy came and picked them up for a lunch date.
034
In the afternoon, we were invited to visit Pat's farm!  Her backyard was just beautiful!
039
There was a swing.....
040
...and a pond where I captured a few beautiful pictures of Buttercup!

Anton loved the horses and we walked through a very old, BIG barn!  The kids can't wait to go back and visit again!

065
After the farm visit, we played our first game of....
067
....Bananagrams!
072
Then, Buttercup had gymnastics....

089
...and then it was back home again for her requested meal of chicken dumpling soup and ice cream cake.

Then, it was time for more presents!  Buttercup will be trying more baking this year so she received her very own spatula and oven mitt!
101
This present was saved until the end and nobody could guess what it was....even when it was first taken out of the box.
109
As soon as it was unfolded......everyone knew it was a gymnastic beam....
114
....and it was....
115
...cartwheels....
119
...and handstands for the rest of the night!

Happy 11th Birthday, Buttercup!
You are our SWEETY!

  1. What a great post!! I feel like we were there! And I can hardly believe she is 11 already. We can't wait to see how those fast legs, skilled bball shooting abilities, and talented gymnastics moves develop as she grows up. Happy Birthday!!
