Last Week

I finally have Internet back in my house after 6 long days! I feel like I need to update on what went on in Lilli's life.  Nothing too crazy but I am planning to make a book at the end of the year as kind of a yearbook of our family so don't want to leave anything out. 

Life went back to normal on Monday after our wonderful week away in Belize.  Lily came back and my Lilli was very happy to see her.  Monday and Tuesday we went to the spray park in our neighborhood .  The weather has been perfect and I wanted to take advantage of it.  I think the girls were happy with that decision!
It was all fun and games until Lilli got hurt.  She slipped and went face first in to the concrete pushing a tooth through her lower lip.
It doesn't look that bad in the picture but it did need stitches.  The nurse talked the doctor in to using a glue instead though because "she is a girl and we don't want her to have a scar." Haha, love her nurses.  She milked it for the day but was really ok. 

The next day was her first ballet class.  She went to dance camp over this summer but this was her first weekly class.  She loved it just as much as she did last month!


Our weekend was the last one we're going to have with the 3 of us for a while.  You see, hunting season starts next week so, from now until the end of January, her Daddy is going to be at the camp.  He let me plan our "family fun weekend" with whatever we wanted to do.  We started by driving up the deer camp on Saturday for a picnic and to see how the house is coming.  It's almost done! They're going to be moving in very soon.

It was a really nice morning.  We went back to the house for naps and then went to dinner just the 3 of us that night. 
On Sunday we went to lunch together and then to the lake after church.  Lilli told Matt earlier in the week that she wanted to go fishing so he was happy to make that happen.

First Fish!

She was so excited she was shaking! They caught a total of 9.  After all of that excitement we cooled off in the pool and then sat and visited with Yaya and Cap'n for a bit.  As we were driving home I thought about how lucky all of our kids really are.  Saturday was spent riding a six wheeler and having a picnic and then Sunday was spent fishing and swimming.  And they can do that almost any time they want.  We are very fortunate to be able to make these amazing memories with our children and the rest of our family.  Thanks for letting us Yaya and Cap'n.  :)

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...

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...
