Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the Moms but especially the ones who are like Moms to me. I have some of the best! 

I always miss my Mom on Mother’s Day but I’m fortunate to have a stepmom, mother in law, and grandmother that love me very much. But today I am most thankful for my two that made me a Mom. 


Part of me wishes we could have been in Baton Rouge to celebrate with the family because it was also Ryan’s birthday yesterday and Jen’s today


But we had a great day too. I woke up to some sweet cards from Matt and the girls and I had to take some pics to save them.





All I wanted was a family day and gave them a choice between going to a movie together or going to a Tech softball game and it was a unanimous choice to go to the game. I thought Lillian would enjoy watching a college game now that she’s getting in to the sport and it was a lot of fun. 

I tried getting tickets to a baseball game but they are sold out for the whole season. It all worked out to watched the girls though because we would have never had armed, backed chairs, in the shade, directly behind home plate at a baseball game. They were losing for most of it and the score was 7-3 USM at the bottom of the 7th. We decided to get up from our seats to take some pics and watch the last at bat near the exit and I’m so glad we stayed, because we got to watch them come back and win it 8-7! 

Everyone had a great time and Matt said he really enjoyed an afternoon at the ball field; it had been a long time. It was a great day and we will end it with a family movie night. I hope every Mom out there enjoyed their day as much as I did.

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...
