Great Weekend All Around

This was a great weekend for all of us. Matt went to the camp because it’s opening weekend of rifle season and the girls and I stayed home. Friday night they went to parents night out at the gymnastics place while I had a quiet night to myself. They were out until 10:30 so they actually slept in until after 7:00 Saturday which is late for us. 😊  Katie had a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese so Cara met us so Lillian could play with Josie while Katie was with her friends. 

While we were there I got calls that two offers had been accepted so to get two houses under contract before noon made it a great day for me. Between that and the fact that LSU pulled off a win against Alabama it was a great day! 

But the best part was that Lillian came to hang out and watch it with me while Katie and her friend played. Lillian and I hadn’t spent that much time just hanging out in a long time and it was a lot of fun. She’s really growing up. During half time she went out and practiced with her bow for a while. These pictures are from a few days ago but she’s really having fun with that.

And I think her aim is just going to improve when her new glasses come in. I took her back to the eye doctor on Thursday because she had been complaining of blurry vision and headaches. We just went on July 31 and got a new prescription but in three months her eyesight had changed from -.75 to -1.5 in the right and -1.5 to -2.25 in the left. And that’s with wearing glasses constantly. The doctor was asking if she was bad about wearing them but I don’t think I’ve ever seen them off of her with her awake. Poor thing must have inherited her daddy’s eyesight and I think it may even be a little worse.
Matt had a great weekend too! He had been watching a huge buck on his cameras since before hunting season and last night he got him!

He’s a happy man today!

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...
