Teal and Tigers

Between opening weekend of teal season, a nail biting game that ended in a Tiger win, and our best friends being in town... it was a great weekend in Arkansas. 

We didn’t get there until after 8:00 Friday because the girls didn’t want to miss Girl Scouts. Lillian is working on a pet care badge so she had to learn to clean the hamster cage on her own this week and Katie did some things at the meeting that will be help her earn her camping badge after the camp out next weekend. 

It’s only been a few weeks but they are seriously loving it and I am loving the values and responsibility that they emphasize and teach.

So it was pretty much to bed for them when we got there and Logan was already asleep so we didn’t get to see him. But me, Matt, Shanon and Alex hung out until after 11:00 so that was a late night for me! We made up for missing that evening on Saturday though with lots of playing. Logan was unsure of the girls at first but within 30 minutes they were playing and having fun. 

(Ok, this pic isn’t at the camp but Alex sent to me and I had to include it for when this blog prints because it’s so cute!) 


After the Tigers won against Auburn Matt took us for a ride to see his smart weed. It’s so pretty and the girls got to ride their 4 wheelers so everyone was happy. 



And this morning I taught Lillian how to scramble eggs. She did it all from the cracking to the cleanup and that’s a serious game changer if she can cook for all these kids up there. 😉 

It was a really good weekend and we’re already looking forward to the next time they come back!

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!

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

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
