That’s a Wrap

When Lillian goes back to school tomorrow morning, it will have officially been 517 days since she has been in a classroom that’s not in her house. That is a very long time to be together and I’m going to miss having her with me everyday. So, I wanted to get some one on one time with her before that day comes. We went to see a movie on Monday before meeting Yaya to go shopping. 

We went to Hobby Lobby because she wants to redecorate her room, and then to T.J.Maxx so that she has SOMETHING other than t-shirts from the beach and athletic shorts to wear 😉 Yaya took her home, but not before stopping by to hug Katie before her first day back to gymnastics.(Katie had been with Raegan all day who did a great job on her hair.)  It was a big day too!  Because she got asked to join the team developmental class that is invite only. She’s so excited!

We’ve had fun with friends during this last week too. 


We went to Splash Kingdom with Britney and Bridget over the weekend, had Lily and her brother over to swim yesterday, and went to Noah and Landry’s house to swim today. 

I left Katie to swim longer with Landry while I took Lillian for last minute pampering to get her nails done before she is officially a middle schooler. And then we had meet the teacher where she also dropped off supplies and got her spirit wear

She’s going back to art for the first time in over a month, 

and Katie is also starting a new gymnastics class at the same place, but will be doing Cheer/Tumbling. This is separate from the team development class but she wants to learn to do a back handspring and they focus on that. So Wednesdays will be a lot of back and forth but I’m glad they are back to doing the things they love! I know 2021-22 will be a great school year!

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...
