Easter 2015

We had a whole weekend of Easter celebrations.  Yesterday morning Lilli and I were up bright and early to be at Sciport for their members egg-straction. We got to meet the Easter bunny and hunt eggs.  Lilli was the only one to think to look in the potted plants for eggs so she racked up quickly.  




After Matt got home from the camp to stay with Lilli, Katie and I went up there for a few hours so that we could see Austin and Josey (oh yeah, and their parents :) 

We spent a few hours hanging out and holding the baby before we had to head back home to get ready for Allie.  It was her birthday and she had been at a crawfish boil in Alexandria for the afternoon and decided to come for Easter since she was already half way.  We had dinner and hung out but had to go to bed so the Easter bunny would come. 

We were all up by 6:45 this morning to see what all the Easter bunny had brought and where he hid the eggs. 



After all the fun it was time to get everyone ready for church.  The girls looked beautiful in their dresses but Katie wasn't thrilled because she just wanted to go outside and blow bubbles. 



I got one without her crying but of course it's blurry.  

The girls and I went to Sunday school and then Matt, Allie and John came and met us at the service.  We followed church with lunch at Nicky's and then a nap before they headed back.  A wonderful day and a very Happy Easter!

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’...

Last Day of Summer

That’s a wrap. Summer 2019 is done and tonight is a school night. It’s been a great one. We went to the beach, Did lots of swimming, spent time with all of the cousins. But it’s time to go back and they are excited. We had Shaleigh and Lily over and went to the pool for a few hours. They had it to themselves and it was fun to spend several hours swimming and getting in one last day of play. It was also meet the teacher. Katie has Mrs. Wilhelm (top) but she is still on maternity leave until Labor Day. So for the next month she has Mrs. Huckabee who she knows because she subs and she had her several times in kindergarten. Both of Lillian‘s teachers are new to Apollo this year so we are not sure what to expect but they seemed very nice. Mrs. Winans is her homeroom and then she switches for math and science. It’s a welcome change to only have two teachers this year. Three teachers in third grade was a little much and in fact they’re not even doing that anymore. Back to school also means ba...

Bar-J and More Baseball

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...
