Happy Mother's Day!

I've had a wonderful day today with just Matt and the girls and have been completely spoiled.  From a "huge" (at Lilli's request) bouquet of flowers, to chocolate covered strawberries delivered after church, to brunch at Jack Binion's all followed by an afternoon at Destiny Day Spa... I've been totally pampered. 

I loved Matt's dessert plate :) 


I really loved my day but time with those 3 is all I ever really need.  We went to the lake to give Yaya her gifts and start celebrating early yesterday.  I love these kids! Can't wait to all be on the beach together next week.

Toledo Bend 2019

Image
We had a great 2 night mini vacation on Toledo Bend for New Years Eve. We’ve spent it celebrating with Shanon and Alex for 9 or 10 years now (something like that I think!) 😊 And every year it gets better. Most of this trip was spent fishing and hanging out. We set yo-yos when we got there and woke up Monday morning to a catfish on the line.  Look at the excitement on Katie’s face!  So, after Shanon and Matt ran to Walmart for more bait, the rest of the day was spent sitting around on the deck and fishing (and drinking mimosas of course)  Logan loved hugging the dogs. It was the sweetest! Katie had never caught a fish before and she caught 3 in 5 minutes. We got a total of 15 and that was enough for Matt to fry (first meal in his new Christmas fryer) to go with our black eyed peas, cabbage and cornbread on New Years Day.  The house the great, the scenery was beautiful and the fishing was fun. But the best part was that we were all together. Happy New Year!

Our Family Is Growing!!!

That's right! Matt and I are having another baby! I'm pretty sure everyone that reads has already heard but this blog is a record of our lives so of course I had to include it.  I had my 3rd doctors appointment and ultrasound today at 10 weeks.  His or her heartbeat is very strong (166 at 7 weeks and 184 today) and measuring ahead of schedule.  Another big baby! We told Lilli a couple of weeks ago and she is excited although I'd bet she doesn't really get it.  We've explained that we will be the baby's Mama and Daddy too and that he or she will live with us and she seems to understand. I'm sure it's not going to fully sink in until he or she arrives though.  She is very sweet and always saying she wants to buy toys and clothes for the baby while we are in stores and says she's going to teach him or her "how to play." Her teacher asked me today if we knew what we were having but I told her we still had a few weeks.  She laughed and said ...

Last Day of Summer

Image
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...
