The Moms Got to Play

Hunting season officially ended last weekend so me, Hailey and Rachel planned a Moms night away. It’s something we’d been talking about forever and finally made it happen! Hailey and I got up early yesterday and drove over to Dallas to meet Rachel for some playing and pampering. We started with brunch (and a mimosa of course!) at Bread Winners. Then we had a spa day book at Hiatus Spa and Retreat. It didn’t look like much being in a strip mall in Dallas but it was an Aveda spa and we were truly pampered. We had a massage (mine was very relaxing- Hailey and Rachel’s girl had them doing a lot of stretching) a facial (mine was wonderful and had me seriously relaxed but Hailey and Rachel got an accidental upgrade to a hydrafacial. They wanted to charge them (it’s a BIG upgrade) but we argued that I booked us all the same things and it was not their fault they were booked incorrectly. Score!) and a mani-pedi (they put you in zero gravity chairs with a neck wrap, headphones playing soothing sounds and an eye mask- you’re totally cut off from the outside world and come to with pretty hands and toes ;) We were there for 5 hours and left feeling pampered and relaxed. We will definitely be back!! From there we checked in to the Magnolia hotel downtown, showered and got ready and went to dinner at Iron Cactus. 

Good food, good drinks and good company. We stopped at the hotel bar for one more glass of wine and they finally let me go to bed at 11:00 😉

But of course we were up at 5:30 cuz you know... we’re Moms and used to it. So we were down having coffee by 7:00 and leaving by 8:00. It was a super fun night away and I’m already ready to do it again! Love my sister wives!

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...
