Happy Pi Day!!






We commerated 3-14 by making a pie together. Of course, it was an apple pie for these WA Wards! We had a lot of fun and we fit it right into our family night lesson. Just like 3.14 is a "constant" number that can give us the circumference or area of a circle every time; we talked about how making good choices and following a "constant" truth will help us be happy, every time. It was really fun and tasty too! The kids did a great job!

HA! Caught Red-Handed

I only left for 5 minutes to go pick up Katie from soccer. No wonder the lids don't fit my pots anymore!

Nighty Night Lu

Lucy Loves her night time stories. I have been sitting on this one for a while because I couldn’t figure out how to get it off my phone. She has some that are favorites and she can say all the right things. This is one of her favorites. I particularly love “A pig says ‘Woink’!”

You will probably have to turn the sound all the way up on the computer to hear. The video is kind of quiet.

Lovely Saturday Hike

So the plan was to go hiking in the low elevations of the cascades to avoid the snow.  We were only going to be 1300 feet above sea level.  No problem right?  Wrong!  We got to the trailhead only to find a foot of snow sitting on the ground.  We had to retreat a few hundred feet and found this lovely hike instead.  We have done it several times but it is a nice place to visit.  It was sunny which is a rarity in Western Washington in March.  (march madness takes on a whole new meaning here!)
