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.

Little Mouse with the perfect little mousy teeth pose!!
145
It is a tradition to be a mouse at the age of 1 in this family....Ky wore this same costume 17 years ago and it has been worn by each child in succession when they were a 1 year old!!!  The redness around his eyes is a give away for how he was feeling....a little bit sick.  He stayed home with mommy and enjoyed opening the door and watching all the kids come to the door!

154
This is the actual cowgirl look during the very windy and cold Halloween evening, but that didn't slow the kids down one bit!
