The Last Full Week

I truly cannot believe school starts in 4 days and this is the last weekend we have of summer. It went by so fast! I’ve been trying to spend as much time with them as I can while also getting some work done. I’m sure going to miss them but I can definitely say it will be easier to get things accomplished after Wednesday! 

Tuesday Katie and I went to Chuck E. Cheese just the 2 of us. I told them each I’d do something one on one and Lil and I went to a movie last weekend so this time it was her turn and this is what she picked.


Wednesday we had Shaleigh over to play all day and Thursday we went to the pool with Cara and Josie. 


Today was Altitude with friends and Lilli finally got to go back to art. 

There were classes all summer but we could never seem to get there at those times. She’s excited to go back regularly and also go back to gymnastics. Those are our only after school activities this year so hopefully it won’t be as crazy as last year was for us! And to top it off we got class lists today. 

Lily and Shaleigh are both with Lillian again and Britney and Katie are back together. They were inseparable in preschool but had different teachers in kindergarten. I have a feeling they may have to be separated 😉
And we got Lilli’s test results from her first LEAP test. She had been nervous since 2nd grade (which is ridiculous how much pressure teachers put on these kids about this, but no one asked my opinion.🤷‍♀️) but she rocked it! The highest score in each subject is 850 so you can see how well she did. There’s also a five level score with advanced and mastery the top two. So that tells you something too.


Hopefully now that pressure will be off and she can enjoy her fourth grade year! Can’t believe she’s in the big kid building.

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...
