Spring Break in Baton Rouge

We had a fun filled few days in Baton Rouge for spring break. We saw the family plenty, but did some touristy things too to make it more of a vacation. Koy came with us and me, him and Katie all stayed at Jimmy and Theresa’s and Lil stayed with Pops and Honey. 
We left that morning and got there in time for the 4:00 LSU baseball game. Jimmy had gotten us amazing seats behind home plate and it was so fun.

The game was honestly a little slow, but I would have stayed until the end and will never complain about a 7-0 win! But we left after the 6th inning because Anna, Katie and Anson were bored 😉 We didn’t miss much afterwards and met Jimmy and Theresa for dinner at George’s and the kids got to play in the arcade. 

Plus, as we were walking out Koy got a foul ball so it was great timing!


The next morning we were up bright and early to work at the food pantry. Pops was so excited to have his family there helping and the girls finished up their service hours for National Honor Society. 


The azaleas were blooming at St. John’s too. 


We played around the Mall of Louisiana for the rest of the morning 

Before going back to Jimmy’s for naps 

That night was my birthday dinner at Jen’s with the family. Honey made lasagna and lizard brought my favorite strawberry cake from Ambrosia 


Friday was our last day and we had a lazy morning washing clothes and things before going to nana’s for lunch at 11:30. We brought burgers and sandwiches from Brew Bacher’s and had a nice visit 


From there we went to Marucci and Koy got a new bat and we played in the batting cages for and hour and a half


He pitched to us but used the machine for his own batting practice 

We went to Piper’s riding lesson and then met Pops and Honey for Mexican dinner before the LSU gymnastics meet


They always put on a show and it was a blow out win!!

We left Baton Rouge bright and early today to we could be in Bossier for Koy’s tournament this afternoon 


His mama is a photographer and sent lots of pictures. We had several rain delays so it took four hours to get through the first game, and the second one was canceled, but it’s super fun to watch him play!

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

Image
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...
