Lilli's First Camp Out

Matt took Lilli camping today at the deer camp.  He's sent me pictures through out the afternoon and it looks like she's had a blast! This is the first trip they have taken just the two of them and I don't know who was more excited. 

She asked if she could put a hot dog and a marshmallow in
her mouth at the same time.  She ate 5 hot dogs over the course
of the afternoon!

Driving!

 
 

The final verdict was that she did like camping and wants to go again but at one point yesterday afternoon Matt asked if she liked it and her answer was "I'm not sure  yet." Haha, she made it through the whole night but this morning she was ready to go to the deer camp for some cereal and to watch a little tv.  Pretty good for a 3 year old though!

Don't feel bad for me being left behind.  I've never been too interested in tent camping and especially not 8 months pregnant.  To be honest I have been looking forward to today all week.  This is the first day since Lilli was born that I had the whole afternoon and night at home to myself. I had a massage, went to see a movie and picked up Monjuni's on the way home.  It was almost perfect.  I say almost because as I got to the spa for the massage, the power went out as I was going up the elevator.  I thought that only happened in the movies! I was stuck in there for over half an hour.  They were on top of it and I heard them on the phone with the fire department saying they had better hurry because the woman stuck was almost 8 months pregnant.  It was a little scary and a little embarrassing (there were probably 15 people waiting when they got the door open) but they did comp the massage so I guess it wasn't too bad. 

All in all it was a good day.  Pops took us to brunch this morning before he left too.  He had stopped by for the night on the way up to Oklahoma to see some friends.

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...
