What I like about Sundays...

I love Sundays! It's almost always a day of relaxing with just the three of us at home or doing something fun as a family.  Even if we've been out of town we're usually all back together at home by the afternoon.  Today was a great one.  We woke up and had a lazy morning and then went to the 10:45 church service.  From there the 3 of us went to lunch at El Mariachi before heading to the movies to see the Disney Nature film "Chimpanzee."
He didn't smile in the first so I made him take a 2nd :)
Matt and I love movies but I'm the only one that likes "going" to the movies. He humors me and takes me to the blockbusters that are better in theaters but, for most part, he'd rather sit in our living room watching it in a recliner and able to pause it if we want to get up.  So I was surprised when I mentioned that Lilli wanted to see this one and he said he wanted to go.  I think it was his favorite movie experience ever. (can you hear the sarcasm?)  Lilli was in to it but she's still a squirmy toddler that wanted to move from her Daddy's lap to mine to standing through the whole thing.  It was a very good movie and we all enjoyed it but I think it will be the last time he joins us for one for a while. :)

After everyone had a nap, we all went over to Chris and Carissa's pool for a swim and to grill again.  Lilli's loving getting to swim all the time and this is what I call a picnic...

Bacon wrapped deer back strap, homemade potato salad from the leftovers from yesterdays crawfish boil, macaroni and cheese and coleslaw.  What a good Sunday!

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...
