HOCO Week

It’s been a busy week in Benton with all the homecoming festivities. There were dress up days every day at school but this is the only pic I got


It’s a homecoming tradition to roll friends houses and we got rolled (pretty terribly though, lol) and Lilli went a couple of times too. 

We went to the game Friday night and then the main event was the dance last night. Cara came to help with hair and makeup and she looked beautiful. This was her and Koy’s 3rd dance together and it was a great night. 





There was a group of 35 kids that met at one house for pics at 3:30, we had dinner at Kobe’s at 5:00, the dance was at 7:00, and then about 15 of them came back here after to hang out in the pool and around a fire pit. 





On top of the high school festivities, Kathleen had another home game where she cheered with pep squad and Yaya came to cheer her on. 

And Cozy had a birthday and is now officially 1! Lillian made her a cake and had me out at 8:00 at Petsmart the night before because she had forgotten to get her a gift 🤣❤️

And now it’s fall break! 7 blissful days of no alarm and no schedule 🥰

I think someone may be a little spoiled....

  So Lilli has been sick the last two days with a croup cough.  She's had fever and the cough has been nasty so Mom has been making her stay in.  I think she is getting a little stir crazy and decided what she wanted to do instead.  It started when I told her we were going to see Yaya for lunch tomorrow.  Yaya is being so sweet and going to entertain her for a bit while I get my hair cut and then we'll grab some lunch.  I know someone that will be excited to get out of the house but especially to see her Yaya!

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’s th

Back to School 2024

Well it’s official- Lillian is in high school and I’m a teacher! At any other school in Bossier Parish, I’d also be posting about Kathleen starting middle school, but Benton is the only one that has an intermediate for 5th and 6th together. I kind of like it because there is a HUGE difference between 11 year-old, 6th grader and a 14-year-old, 8th grader, and she gets to stay in the younger group a little longer. Plus she’s with me for my first year! We all had a great first day and I think I’m really going to love it. But I was also super excited it started on a Thursday, because it was exhausting! It’s going to take a little bit to get used to the schedule and I haven’t ever had a job where I’m on my feet all day. Koy‘s dad picked Lillian up at 6 AM that morning so that she didn’t have to walk into the high school by herself and took them over to his mom‘s house for a mini photo shoot before the first day of high school. I’ll admit it was weird to not be involved in that milestone, bu
