Preschool Graduate


Well she did it. KatieJane graduated from First Friends today. The last day of school is not technically until the 24th but she doesn’t have to go anymore. Nothing but fun days from here on out. She will go Thursday and Friday and then will be up to Yaya if she goes next week. It is definitely a milestone and she was a proud girl today. 
The program started with songs before they went back and changed into their robes. She was into that except for the one silly song that she had no part of.

We finished up with a reception in her classroom where I got a book of samples of her schoolwork from this year. And then we went to “the restaurant with the big chair” (Chimi V) with Daddy and Yaya to celebrate. Lilli even got to skip school so she could be a part of it. 



It’s really hard to believe that in a couple of days I will no longer have any kids at First Friends. It’s been a wonderful seven years and I could have not asked for a better school for them to get them ready for kindergarten.

And on a completely unrelated note. It was a milestone day for me in real estate yesterday

I had my first closing that was also my first listing. A friend from Apollo called me to sell her house and now Sunday she is off for New York. I’ve got another listing now and another under contract so hopefully this is the start of something good. It took a while to get going but now I just have to keep it going.

I think someone may be a little spoiled....

  So Lilli has been sick the last two days with a croup cough.  She's had fever and the cough has been nasty so Mom has been making her stay in.  I think she is getting a little stir crazy and decided what she wanted to do instead.  It started when I told her we were going to see Yaya for lunch tomorrow.  Yaya is being so sweet and going to entertain her for a bit while I get my hair cut and then we'll grab some lunch.  I know someone that will be excited to get out of the house but especially to see her Yaya!

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’s th

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 tim
