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.

It Was Fancy....

It was with Nancy.....

And.....it was a TEA PARTY!

Hosted by our local library, the girls made a craft,
had tea....

and listened to a the newest Fancy Nancy story.

Little sister wasn't interested in the story...she had other things on her mind.

A fun Saturday afternoon outing for the girls.

Have a fancy Monday!

Happy Mother's Day!

A halo that reflects a life of
wisdom, kindness,and caring.
Eyes that sparkle with pride
and show how much she believes in you.
Shoulders that have been slept on
and wept on and
carried a world or two.
Arms that never run out of hugs.
Hands that know
just when to hold on
and when to let go.
A mind filled with amazing things,
from fairy tales to family tails
and long-ago stories of you.
A smile that can jump right into your heart....
                                                                                                       and warm you faster than hot chocolate.
                                                              A heart of gold
                                                          that holds more love
                                                   than you can possibly imagine.
                                                             Author Unknown
            Wishing you both a wonderful and happy Mother's Day!

It Was A Caddyshack Thing.....


.....going on here today.

Meet Rocky's nemesis......

Accordning to Rocky, he is easily identified by the mole on the left side cheek....right above the corner of his mouth.


He has been targeted by Rocky the last two days.....to be lured under the trap by a simple piece of bread.....which.....actually worked.  Rocky caught him......but he slipped away.
The bet is on whether the little creature is smart enough to stay away or if he'll be tricked into being caught again! Time will tell....meanwhile...


we'll see what Rocky has in store for the ground squirrel the next go-around.


Have a great week-end!

Baseball Fever

Last night was Rocky's turn for baseball.
He played 3rd base.......

....pitcher and short-stop.

It was a beautiful night to be outside.....

And there was a wonderful park closeby and LOTS of open grass for Mark to throw fly balls to Ky and Moe.

Tis the "Exploring New Play Equipment" season has started for the younger ones......

Have a wonderful Thursday!

Batter up!


A walk that eventually turned into a point on the scoreboard!!
 

Moe played short-stop and got his first taste of pitching!
He had his very own cheering section......our whole family plus 3 grandparents were there to cheer him on!

Good-luck Moe.....we hope you have a great season!
