Great end to birthday week

As well as celebrating the life of my Mom this weekend at the Race for the Cure we also got to do a little more birthday celebrating.  I think Matt is glad it is over but he did get a lot of good meals out of it too. ;) We had a date night Friday night at Texas de Brazil while Jennifer and Ryan kept Lilli for us.  We have been together 10 years this year and I think this may be the first time we'd ever gone out alone in Baton Rouge.  I must say that this is the best restaurant meal that we have ever had and if you have access to one of these restaurants, we highly suggest you try it.  They had a salad bar of over 50 items and we started with delicious lobster bisque and salad.  Then you flip your card to green and the servers start coming around with the most delicious meats ever.  Matt's favorite was the bacon wrapped fillet and mine was the top sirloin.  The mashed potatoes and fried bananas they had for sides were delicious too but you'll have to take my word for it, Matt said he wasn't wasting room on non meat items.







Then Saturday night a group of 16 of us went out for drinks and dinner at Boutin's.  It was fun and we had a good time visiting which was a good thing considering the meal took over 3 hours.  Apparently a chef had not shown up and they were very behind so we didn't even get our appetizers for 2 hours.  They did compensate us for our wait and besides being really hungry by the time the food got there, no one really seemed to mind.  It was a great way to end the weekend. 


And I know a little girl that was happy to be home this evening.  The weekend wore her out!

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
