Sunday and Shrine Circus

Hailey and I decided to have our garage sale for 2 days over the weekend so Sunday was an early morning as well.  We learned that not too many people come on Sundays but we were both satisfied with how it went for our first experience.  It was kind of nice that it was quiet and Nana and Lizard got to come sit out and visit while it was going on because they were leaving at noon.  It was a lot of work but the weekend was great on top of it.  It was pretty much just a girl slumber party.  Each of us with a dog.  Lizard and her dog were in the guest room, Nana was in Lilli's bed with her dog and me, Hailey and Lilli and our 2 dogs were all in my bed.  I wasn't sure if Hailey and I would get any sleep with that arrangement but it all worked out.  They didn't get in until 7:30 Friday so we hung out for a couple of hours before bed and then Saturday I cooked and we stayed up watching the LSU game and visiting.  I was so grateful that my grandma and aunt drove up to help me while the sale was going on.  Can't thank them enough!

Cara had given us a free ticket to the Shrine Circus so Matt and I promised Lilli last week that we would take her.  She loved it! The elephants were her favorite part, probably because we got to ride one.



  The show was exciting for her as well but we only stayed until intermission.  By that time it was almost 8:00 and she had already crawled in my lap and said "I think I'm just going to take a little nap." haha. It was a long weekend for everyone so Matt and I didn't mind leaving early.  It was a fun family night and something we'll remember for a long time.

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...
