Timehop Got Me

Timehop has got to be my favorite app that I have. I love looking back at pictures and knowing what I was doing on this date through the years. Friday was apparently a very busy day 11 years ago. Lillian was about 10 days old and we had so many people visit to meet her. 


The top one is not that same weekend but it came up too. I guess I posted it on that day at some point and it is one of my favorite pictures of all time. Nana, Papa and Lilli all cracking up at each other. ❤️ No pics of my Mom but I’m sure she was the picture taker. On top of pics of my tiny Lillian, it’s so crazy that 3 people there that day are no longer with us. Life sure changes... 
These got me too. Just a few years makes them look so different. They are so little! I love the trips down memory lane I get to take everyday. 

Not too much has gone on this week since we went to the zoo except Lane had a birthday and we got to surprise him at his house after school! The kids all played a few hours and we were happy to get to celebrate with him

Other than that, we may Valentine’s to mail to friends and cousins since they don’t have a class to exchange with and we played at Cara’s Saturday morning with Josie for a bit. It’s the first weekend after hunting season so we have been enjoying a mostly lazy one with Matt with us for the first time in months. 😊

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...
