Week Catch Up

It’s been about a week since I posted so I really just want to catch up on pictures. A lot of the world has decided COVID is no longer a “thing” but that’s not the way we are choosing to handle things. I get why people who have never been through hospital stays feel that way but we had a telehealth appointment with Matt’s doctor today that confirmed our household should be staying in and that’s what we are going to do. It was our plan anyway but today’s appointment made us feel better that it’s the right decision. We will be staying home unless we have to go out, 

(We’re discovering all sorts of things can be done online including virtual glasses fittings when the lens pops out 😉)
only seeing most people from 6ft apart, and now 99% sure we will be homeschooling. I don’t mind though. Of course we miss extended family and some days I’m going crazy but being together the 4 of us and staying safe is most important. And we’re working on ways to have some socializing with friends and family in the near future while still keeping in those CDC guidelines. I’m loving the one on one time with the kids too. 

Katie learned to ride a bike with no training wheels so she and I have gone on a couple bike rides. Lilli wants to learn to cook so she’s going to start helping with that too. 

And of course they get lots of one on one with Matt while helping with the garden. He’s got all kinds of plans for how it will end up! 



The kids spent the first few days of last week at the camp with Chad and Rachel and Matt and I got our first two nights in the new house alone. They came back here and the cousins separated for a few days while Rachel took hers to the lake and the girls and I had a few chill days

Then Thursday the cousins came back for one more sleepover before going to Plano. 


We will miss not seeing them for a few weeks but it’s always nice to get the girls to myself too.

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
