(yes this is a back tracking post)



Last April my sister Katie came to visit for spring break.  She really wanted to take her boys to the George Washington Carver Monument that is near where we live.  So she and I drove over and my brother Peter and his family met us there.  

We had a great time.  There is a trail through the woods with history markers and lots of fun activities inside as well.  



The sun was hurting Orville’s eyes.  Lucy is concerned for him.  



Banana Cream Pie is so cute!!



I loved this little white flower.  I’m sure it’s a native Missouri plant, and I want some in my flower bed!!

Edit

I think the sun was in Orville’s eyes.



I think of Banana Cream Pie as blonde–she has the fairest hair of all my children.  But here with her cousins, she definitely does not look blonde.

12 years ago today Cherry Pie came into our lives, and she’s been charming us ever since. She got her ears pierced for her birthday. Happy Birthday, Cherry. We love you!

Okay?

Banana Cream Pie ends all of her sentences with “Okaay?” as in, “I go outside, Okaay?”

every time she says it, what I see in my head is Pepe.

What is the best dessert?

Me: “for family home evening we are having raspberry peach cobbler.”

Banana Cream Pie: “I like fishy crackers. They’re yummy and tasty and good.”

Me: “I made raspberry peach cobbler.”

Question: Do you know what happens when a turkey buzzard flies into the grill of your van?

It pukes armadillo chunks all over your windshield. 🤢🤮

Voice of experience: Wash it off before it dries. 😭

We got to attend a weekend Military Strong Bonds Retreat. It was fun and educational. We learned how to listen to each other a little better.

Pi Day

Cherry Pie

Cherry Pie memorized the first 50 digits of Pi and won third place at school today. The winner of second place had memorized 51 digits of Pi, and first place had memorized 60 digits of Pi!

I’m super proud of her.
