This and That

We haven't had too much going on lately. We had a very quiet weekend and stayed home other than Lilli's cheer camp, a birthday party and church. Seeing it written doesn't sound too relaxing but that's an uneventful weekend to us!
We've been practicing this week so she's ready to cheer at the Benton High football game Friday night. Yaya, Lala, and Uncle Shanny are all coming to watch her so she wants to know them. 

Matt took Bella hunting over the weekend and he sent me the cutest picture.
I think their weekend was relatively uneventful too but she did pick up one dove and he says he hopes to take her a lot more.

Katie is still having a hard time adjusting to school.  Out of the 7 days we have had so far, she has cried at drop-off for 6 of those.  It makes it so hard for this Mama to leave but I know that's the only way she will get used to it.  After she settles down, Mrs. Michi says that she's one of the only
 ones that will sit still to listen to a story and actively participate in the lesson.  I'm using workbooks that Yaya got us and working with her on the days she is home too.
She is very eager to learn so I hope she will soon get over this separation anxiety and love school like Lilli did.

As much as I loved all 3 of us being together all summer, I must say I'm also loving the adult time I'm getting now that they are both in school.  Work is going well.  Sandy and I were able to pick up right were we left off last year.  And I even get some girl time.  Cara convinced me to try Vietnamese food on Monday.  I was skeptical but I loved it! 
Yay! For the school year.

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...
