Tonsils are Out!

We had a rough 36 hours but Lilli is starting to feel a little better.  She was a nervous little girl at first.  It was very hard to watch her so teary but I know this will be good in the long run. 

She did not want to have it done but after the medicine to ease her anxiety she got a little goofy and was asleep by the time they took her back

I'll be honest it was heartbreaking when she came out though.  The nurse said a lot if kids have this reaction when coming out of anesthesia but she was kicking and screaming and completely hysterical. They let us go pretty quickly and she fell asleep in the car and was out most of the afternoon.  


She did wake up for about an hour to eat the icee Hailey and Case brought and then again to see Yaya  a little later.  Katie did not understand how bad "sissy" felt so Yaya decided to take her for the night.  It was her first time to be away from both me and Lilli at once but I think she was ok! They had a blast and she wasn't ready to come home today.  



Lilli had an ok evening and enjoyed the quiet.  Pops and Nana are here to help so it was nice to have some time with them too. This morning was terrible. She woke me up at 5 and refused any medicine and food or drinks for hours.  Finally Nana and I literally held her down and forced her to take Tylenol and she's been better since.  We're alternating Tylenol and Motrin every few hours and it's keeping her more comfortable.  She ate 2 Pops rolls, soup, ice cream and breadsticks and is drinking well.  It's so funny because even at 5 years old she's such an independent patient.  I bring her things but she wants to take them herself.  She wants to be in the room with us but not too interested in cuddling. She's so much like her Daddy! 
Let's pray tomorrow is even better!

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...
