Houston Visit

 
We FINALLY got to meet Logan! That was a long 3 week wait and the girls were so excited to meet their newest "cousin." Lilli sat and held him over an hour last night and even let the adults eat dinner together while she did.
 
Karie wasn't so sure about the baby getting all of the attention but she really loved him too. They are doing great! Even though Alex took a couple of weeks to feel better after delivery, she and Shanon were so relaxed and he is such a calm baby. He'd hang out in our arms and look around or sleep. Of course he still prefers his Mom, but that's the way it's supposed to be. :)

 
We stopped by Rachel and Chase's house on Sunday to meet Anson too. He's so cute and they seem to he doing great too. 

We had to make a trip to Houston Methodist for Matt's 6 month check-up too. He always dreads it but it couldn't have gone better.
(He had me take this picture for Lilli. She is fascinated by how many wires they can hook to her Daddy- if she only knew!) 

The doctor said he looked great. The stress test showed he's functioning at about 92% of a healthy 35 year old which I found amazing only 6 months after heart surgery. He's always going to have to be on medications and needs to be more careful about activity and diet than the average person because of the disease and scar tissue, but that is all manageable. They even said we don't have to come back for 6 months which was great news to us! The defibrillator doc doesn't have to see him for a year. 

 
 
Pops and Honey stayed the night in Houston on Sunday so that they could entertain the girls for us while we were at the doc. They spent 4 hours at the children's museum and weren't even ready to go when we called to tell them we were done. :) Thanks Pops and Honey! They had a great time and we really appreciate the help!

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...
