Cousins are so much fun!

Lilli and I went to Baton Rouge for 3 nights this week.  Nana was in Austin visiting the Keezels and Shoenfelts last week for her birthday so we decided to go this week and celebrate when she got home.  As an added bonus, GranJan drove her home and Andrew got to tag along.  Another kid to play with! We didn't do anything in particular while we were down there.  Monday night we had most of the family at Pops' house for dinner.  Most everyone came back for lunch the next day too.  After naps, everyone that could went over to Jen and Ryan's house for pizza and to let the kids play.  On Wednesday we tossed around idea for things we could take the kids to do that morning.  We looked around and all the kids were having a blast playing at the house so we decided not to mess with that! We got there at 9:00 that morning and they played nonstop (except for Lilli and Piper that did have a nap) until 8:00 that night.  Lilli woke up this morning and said "where are my cousins?" I know she hated to leave (I did too) but we sure were ready to come home to see Daddy!
The trampoline is always the most fun.

We even moved it closer to the table so the adults
could visit while we watched the kids


Daniel is so cool!

The kids love the water gun, the adults...
not so much

She was hungry!


Andrew, Piper, Daniel, Lilli and Anna

Jack loved it!

Even the big boys joined in.

Happy Birthday Nana!


Lilli put her face in the cake before we cut it!

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
