Last weekend

I've got some catching up to do on my blog.  We had a bad storm last Sunday and we haven't had any internet since.  I'm in Baton Rouge today so taking advantage of having it here.  

Last weekend Lilli woke up with 103 temp on Saturday morning.  She'd been complaining about her ears and throat for a few days so we went to the doctor.  It turns out she had strep but that didn't slow her down.  She got a shot and had a nap and woke up ready to help Matt with his garden. 


They planted zucchini, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers.  I'll be curious to how accurate that is because I just asked her to list them a week later.  

On Sunday we got up and went to church but then stayed in the rest of the day because of that storm.  Lighting hit somewhere so close it made our hair stand up and I'm pretty sure that's what happened to our internet. That evening we went to church for the annual crawfish boil and Easter egg hunt.  We didn't know until about 30 min before if we'd be able to go because our road was so flooded most of the afternoon.  I'm glad we did because Lilli had the best time.

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
