Best Saturday

The day started yesterday with sleeping till 7:00. Now I know that’s not late to a lot of people but that was getting to sleep in for me! Then Lilli actually came out of her room to sit with the family to watch Shark week. I have memories of watching with my family (our beach trip every year was the same week so we would get in and watch it in the condo) so I loved that we all spent the morning doing that. About mid morning Matt decided to cook a huge brunch and outdid himself

The girls and I walked across the street for Noah’s party in the afternoon. 

I stayed to watch presents and cake and then Christy told me I could leave them to play while I got ready for date night. Raegan got her drivers license and a car and that was a game changer! She drove herself here and home!

We made a whole afternoon and night of it and went to a movie at 4:00 followed by dinner at Superior. 

I introduced Matt to the reclining seats in Shreveport and he was amazed! He was still talking about how comfortable he was as we left and said I could probably get him to be a movie person now. We solved the worlds problems over margaritas at dinner ;) and then came home to sleeping kids and a babysitter that could drive home. It was the kind of day that can recharge you. I needed it to get ready for back to school that starts in a week! :(

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
