A busy Saturday!

Our day started bright (well still dark actually) and early at 5:00 today.  Hailey and I had our first ever garage sale this morning.  We have been cleaning out our houses and garages for weeks preparing and it turned out well.  I think we were both satisfied with how much we sold today and still have tomorrow to try to get rid of what we have left. 

Lizard and Nana were so sweet to drive up from Baton Rouge on Friday to entertain Lilli for me while this was going on.  So while Hailey and I were working, this is what Lilli got to do:

 

I think she would definitely tell you that she got the better end of the deal.  We wrapped up at 1:00 and everyone had a nap.  Once we got moving again we all went to the Jubilee Zoo in Blanchard to play for the afternoon.  All of this was Lilli's idea too.  When she heard Nana and Lizard were coming she said "I want to go to the park and then the petting zoo." I guess she got exactly what she asked for.  We fed the animals, went for a hay ride and she rode a pony.  She has a really fun aunt that even bounced with her in the bounce house.

 

 

And to top it all off I am one happy Mama because I think we tackled the last potty training hurdle today! I'll save her the embarrassment when she reads this in 15 years and not go in to details but all I can say is NO MORE PULL UPS!

Summertime!

Yesterday was Bossier’s last day of school, but we’ve been in summer mode since they got done LEAP testing a couple of weeks ago. It’s honestly so dumb that they had 10 days of school after testing because they did NOTHING. There was a whole lot of movie watching and playing on computers. On top of the fact that grades were due over a week ago, so it’s not like there was much they could have done. We stayed out on school nights, had pool days and skipped half days to hang with Pops, or friends or just to bake.  Katie had her awards and field day last Wednesday. She ended the year with Straight A’s and a member of National Honor Society. It was so fun to watch her compete in field day events and get to meet some more of her school friends too I checked Katie, Madison and Britney out of school when it was over, and they spent the afternoon in the pool and then we all (with Koy and Lil) went to Josie’s Tball game that night. It was the second one we’d been to in a week and I swear it’s th

I think someone may be a little spoiled....

  So Lilli has been sick the last two days with a croup cough.  She's had fever and the cough has been nasty so Mom has been making her stay in.  I think she is getting a little stir crazy and decided what she wanted to do instead.  It started when I told her we were going to see Yaya for lunch tomorrow.  Yaya is being so sweet and going to entertain her for a bit while I get my hair cut and then we'll grab some lunch.  I know someone that will be excited to get out of the house but especially to see her Yaya!

For Christmas last year, Pops and Honey gave his 3 daughters and 4 granddaughters a weekend at a “dude ranch” for a gift. We picked the weekend because it was Anna and Piper’s spring break and it’s harder for Anna to miss school as a Junior than the other 3. The weather couldn’t have been anymore perfect and the timing worked out perfectly for us to celebrate Allie’s 40th birthday on the 4th too. They came in Thursday and Matt grilled steaks for her actual bday. I didn’t get one picture that night but it was a nice evening. The next morning, we got up and drove to El Dorado to the ranch. It was the “rancher’s experience” and we got in 3 rides, plus the kids got to help care for all the animals Dad has his own cabin and all 7 girls were in a bunk room together. After we were settled, we went to catch the horses in a field to take them to the stable to be saddled  The wranglers were very patient considering there were 8 of us and none knew how to help very much. But there was lots of tim
