The Last Few Days

The weather was beautiful last week so we spent some time at the park.  We had a picnic two different days and did a lot of playing. Now that Katie is walking, it's a lot of fun for her and she and Lilli can play more together. 


Friday evening was kind of bittersweet.  Chris and Carissa moved to Corpus Christi on Saturday and Matt, Lilli and I went by their apartment after dinner to say goodbye.  On one hand I am very happy that they are moving to a city and job I think they will enjoy more than they did here. But on the other hand, we're going to miss our friends. 

Saturday morning I had a garage sale that was a total bust! :) I'm not sure if I didn't advertise well enough or if it was just bad luck but I only had about 6 people come by. I was surprised because there were 4 in the neighborhood and I know they passed my signs on the way to others. I guess no one needed baby stuff. Oh well, I'll try again in a few weeks and it was nice that Dad came to help.  He sat outside with me and we got to visit for several hours without many kid distractions so that made it worth it. 

Matt was inside with a sick Katie the whole time. She ran fever starting Friday night through today and was really pitiful. It's so hard when they can't tell you what's wrong. 

Sunday afternoon Lilli and I went to Luke Causey's first birthday party.  It was tractor themed and Cassie had everything set up really cute.  Lilli had a great time and I was so glad we could celebrate with him.  


Katie and Matt stayed home because we didn't want to get anyone sick.  Little did I know it wouldn't have mattered because the second we got in the car to come home Lilli told me her throat hurt.  I checked her temp when we walked in the door and it was 102.7! I asked why she didn't tell me she felt bad and her reply was "I didn't feel bad there, it was fun." Kids!! I feel bad and hope we didnt get everyone sick. I guess we'll be at the doctor with both of them tomorrow.

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...
