VBS Survior 2012!

     We had a fun, albeit long, week of VBS. This year I did NOT do the toddlers. Last year I had 14 toddlers ranging from 12 months to 2 years. I have never felt so exhausted and that includes walking the ENTIRE island of Grand Cayman, as I did after 3 hours with 14 toddlers. I had a first grade class this time. I had 21 in our group, but usually only 16 showed up on any given day. I will have John 14:6 in my head, along with several VBS songs, for the next few days. 300 kids can be VERY loud. Overall, it was a lot of fun and I am fairly certain I will do it again next year. God has blessed my life in so many wonderful ways and I enjoy teaching the young ones how great His love is.
       A. has been enjoying her horse classes. We have been thinking about joining 4H, but haven't decided completely. After her class yesterday, we figured while we were up that way we would cool of at the beach at Ray Roberts. The water felt great and the beach was fairly empty. We played for about 2 hours, but that proved to be too much sun for T and unfortunately he got sick in the car on the way home. On the agenda this week is Tea Time at the American Girl Doll Store, a splash park, IKEA (kids love the play area), and who knows what else. We try to enjoy each day as much as possible.

Kids frequently have a roller derby.

The Bunch's Streak Of Bad Luck Continues

We made great time on the way there! It's amazing how leaving only 30 minutes later can help immensely with traffic. I wish all the shows started at 8 instead of 7:30.  What a week this was! We went to Bass Hall to see Back to the Future. It was ok. Definitely not the best play we have seen. The boys went with us and since the last two shows they joined us for were The Outsiders, which is one of, if not our most, favorite show ever, and A Christmas Story, which is in probably in the top 6, they were really not impressed. However, we still had a nice time doing something different together.  We love Bass Hall❤️ We had opening night tickets and got a GREAT deal! I went in this week and had my polyps removed plus they did a biopsy. I was more sore and for longer than I anticipated. Yes, the doctor said recovery was about 10 days, but I really only anticipated maybe 3-4. Boy, was I wrong! It's been 7 days now and by 10 I think I will be completely back to normal. Unfortunately, sh...

The Bunch Say Goodbye

  Aunt P picked a lovely cemetery. It was so beautiful and peaceful. For the past 8 years or so we have helped our Aunt P.  We have had numerous visits and conversations over the years, not to mention dinners and root beer floats. We have watched her physical health decline while her mental health was still sharp as tack. Sadly, the last month of her life she had started to have several moments where she didn't know what was going on. We had numerous conversations about her death with her and we are very happy in knowing that she finally has the relief she wanted. The past year in particular was VERY hard on her and she needed help more. D and I would visit almost every Wednesday and Saturday, plus whenever she called for help. It was nice to talk to her. She was witty, smart, knew the answer to just about anything, and did a wonderful job of making you feel special and loved. I once told her that I would really miss our chats when she was gone...I will. I really enjoyed getti...

The Bunch Have A Fun Week!

D had his awards banquet at a BBQ place we had been wanting to try for awhile. The food was really delicious and not greasy at all.  We have had a lot of expenses thrown at us lately. We bought our new appliances , which were well planned for. However, after that we had 2 cars to get repaired, one of which   was decided that it was too expensive and would make more sense to get a newer, stronger, younger one, I have to get some polyps removed, we owe uncle Sam money for the first time ever (thanks to the rule about the year a child turns 17 you lose the child tax credit even if the majority of the year they are 16), and lots of other little things. You know how it goes...when it rains it pours. Since we were unable to take the rv out because of the tow vehicle being unable to tow with a heavy load, more like us not wanting to risk trying, and since A had a day off work, we decided to go on an adventure to do something that none of us ever had done before. We started with...
