Happy Birthday Lillian Leigh!

I can't believe my "baby" is three years old today! Time really flies.  We had a great day of celebrating.  Matt went to work about an hour late so that he could see her when she got up and we could give her a present together.  She always loves it when Daddy is here in the morning so that was a great way for the day to start.  After her 3 year old check up at the doc (which she didn't mind, no shots and they gave her a cupcake) we met Yaya and Cara at Ta Molly's for some lunch.  The waiters sang to her and gave her a sopapilla so that was fun for her too.

She and I went to see Wreck It Ralph in theaters this afternoon.  When I asked what she wanted to do for her birthday she said "go to the movies and eat popcorn" so that's what we did. 

After that we met Daddy back at the house for ANOTHER meal.  We went to Horseshoe Casino and ate the seafood buffet.  Matt and I love going there and it was a perfect birthday meal for her too.  Cheese pizza and fried shrimp and then strawberry cake, vanilla ice cream with sprinkles and cotton candy for dessert! I think any 3 year old would approve of that meal. :)

I also saw on pinterest last night a interview to do with your child on their birthday so I thought I would try it.  Some of her answers were expected but some were surprises to me.  It will be interested to see how they change over the years if I can remember to do it.

1. What is your favorite color? Blue
2. What is your favorite toy? Horses (this is what Matt and I gave her today, a set of ponies where you can style their hair so that may have influenced the answer)
3. What is your favorite fruit? blueberries
4. What is your favorite tv show? Doc McStuffins (I was expecting Mickey Mouse Clubhouse)
5. What is your favorite lunch? sandwiches (I expected chicken nuggets and french fries)
6. What is your favorite outfit? Her "Daddy's Girl Forever" shirt (they she happened to be wearing today, lol)
7. What is your favorite game? Chasing Daddy around
8. What is your favorite snack? Cheddar bunnies
9. What is your favorite song? Row, row, row your boat (she first said she didn't know but I named a few and she picked that one)
10. What is your favorite animal? horses (see, we need one Matt :) )
11. What is your favorite book? Jesus Loves Me (I expected Berenstein Bears)
12. Who is your best friend? Mama (when I asked who was next trying to get her to name a kid she said Daddy and then Jackson (the dog) )
13. What is your favorite cereal? raisin bran
14. What is your favorite thing to do outside? blow bubbles
15. What is your favorite drink? chocolate milk
16. What is your favorite holiday? Christmas
17. What do you like to have in bed with you at night? Molly, Teddy and Moo Moo (not surprising, Moo Moo-the cow- is less than 6 months old but Molly and Teddy have been around since before she could talk or walk)
18. What is your favorite breakfast? cereal
19. What do you want for dinner on your birthday? cupcakes! haha
20. What do you want to be when you grow up? A doctor

It's amazing how much they change in a year.  Last year there is no way she could have done that interview. Happy Birthday my sweet Lilli.  Looking forward to our next great year!

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...
