The Last Few Days

I use this blog to save pictures as much as having a place for family to keep up with us. So here is what had been going on the last few days:

We had a sleepover Friday night for the girls. Lilli invited Carlie over and it was the first time they’d hung out one on one. Britney came for Katie and it was the first time she’d come since Heather was going through chemo before Christmas, and also the first time without her sister with her. Matt ended up working until 4AM so we decided to make it a girls night and go out to eat, and the big girls requested Olive Garden. They also got to sit at their own table for the first time (not even close to me) and Lillian said it was stressful, lol. She didn’t know how to answer when the waitress asked if she wanted breadsticks and said she didn’t know what an entree was. 🤣 It was a good life lesson.


Yaya and Capn came to watch Katie’s soccer game Saturday morning and the rest of the day was spent relaxing. Even Lillian took a 3 hour nap so we all needed rest! 


Sunday was garden work and softball practice.


On Monday we got “egged” by Landry, and that was a fun surprise to come home to after being forced to sit with me through a closing. ❤️



And tonight was a “Red Carpet Event” for the 1st place winners of the i3 Art Expo a couple of weeks ago. Only one guest could go with they winner so she and Matt made it a Daddy daughter date night. 


It’s been a nice few days and the next few will be school and getting ready for Easter weekend in Baton Rouge. I’ve got a good bit of cooking to do before we leave on Friday. But we are super excited to meet the newest member of the Craig household, Pops and Honey’s new puppy, Grace.

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...
