Happy Valentine’s Day

I got to spend Valentine’s Day with all of my favorite loves. ❤️


Lillian is STILL running fever on and off (we go to the doc in the morning to be sure there isn’t some sort of secondary infection) so the girls and I got to sleep in again. We woke up to the sweetest Valentines that Matt had left before work.

I told him I didn’t need flowers this year but he didn’t listen. 💕 Lillian had written each of us a sweet note and had painted some pictures for Matt too. 


I had a little class party in the dining room too. 

I signed Katie up for a Valentine exchange with a bunch of homeschooled kids around the country. She ended up with about 30 of them and we pulled out the map to find where each one was from.

Lillian didn’t mind because she got to sit there and watch and eat candy the whole time. 😃 between that and the cookie cake from Yaya, they got lots of sweets!

My car left the garage for the first time in a week when I went to drive around to deliver all of my real estate “pop bys.” I usually spend three or four days doing deliveries so it’s not so much time at once, but of course Covid had other ideas. I had spent too much time getting all these handwritten notes out for Valentine’s Day to have them delivered after the holiday so I drove around for about three hours this morning to get them all out.

I’m very glad I felt up to doing that but I was WIPED after and had to nap about an hour. 

We had a really nice evening of family time and a delicious dinner of steak, roasted potatoes, bacon wrap green beans and avocado. I’m very glad that everyone felt up to hanging out and still keeping my fingers crossed that Matt stays well. He tested again yesterday before going back to work today and it’s still negative. I’m hoping that continues after having his hand in a Covid patient’s mouth the day before we found out she had it 😬


(First tooth lost in this house!) 
But so far so good and we are confident this sickness is about done for us!

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...
