The Week Since The Beach

We left Crystal Beach that Thursday and drove to Baton Rouge. Friday was Nana’s 95th birthday and the family was having a party for her that day and we didn’t want to miss it

Matt had gone home a couple of days earlier but drove all the way to Baton Rouge and back to be there to celebrate with us.


We had catered fajitas and GranJan made her favorite carrot cake. Charles and Dianne from “the Beck side of the family” made the trip over too. She had a great day and I was so glad so many came to celebrate her. 

We left after and drove home late to wake up in our own beds after being gone for a week. I had to work and Sunday was Father’s Day and I wanted to not be washing clothes and unpacking that whole day

We had some excited puppies and Koy and Lil may have been a little excited to see each other too. 

It was an insanely busy week but very fun. Work is busy with 2 under contract, a listing and a few other buyers I’m showing to. On top of that, we had something everyday. Monday, Lillian babysat Josie while Cara worked. We took her to a movie and they played all day. Katie had gymnastics and Lillian had riding 



Tuesday was allergy shots, an inspection, and then a baseball game. The girls each had a friend spend the night that night 




Wednesday was pool time while I worked and another ball game. And then the girls each had friends over for a pool party and I had 15 kids here from 7:30-11:00


On Thursday we actually got some downtime during the day before riding and gymnastics again that night. But then Friday, we left at noon to go to Dallas for the Texas Rangers game


It was my first MLB game and we had so much fun! It’s definitely something I would want to do again. The game was fun, but our hotel experience was a nightmare and we ended up driving home and getting home at 2:30 AM. The whole thing is way too much to write, but let’s leave it to we couldn’t fit all six of us and one room with no working toilet. 🤣 

I was EXHAUSTED and only got about 4 hours of sleep but it was worth it. I love making these kind of memories with the girls and I’m so thankful for Matt that keeps everything running so it’s possible ❤️
Our original plan was to stay in Dallas for the whole weekend and go to Austin’s tournament, but it got canceled at the last minute and they went to the lake, so we went over Saturday afternoon


We had not seen each other since Christmas and it was so good to get together. We only stayed a few hours because everyone needed sleep (except Kathleen who stayed), but I was glad for the unexpected get together. 
We hope we can do it for longer soon!

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!

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 tim
