The Bunch Head Camping........Again

Obviously we took this BEFORE the 5 hour monsoon hit.

We just got back from Tyler State Park. It is a really nice park. While we were in Tyler we also visited the famous municipal rose garden. It was really beautiful. The kids favorite part of the park was that in the middle of the lake there is a dock. The water was quite chilly, but we still swam, along with about 100 of our favorite college students. Just kidding... they weren't our friends. In fact we had waited until Monday to go swimming at the dock because we wanted there to be less people. We arrived at the dock on Monday afternoon and to our delight we the only ones there. About 30 minutes later, two college kids showed up. They were just throwing a football... no big deal. However, apparently they were just the early birds because about 30 minutes after they showed up car loads and car loads of kids showed up and eventually we decided to come back they next day. I heard them mentioning they planned to that every Monday this summer so consider yourself warned if you plan on going to Tyler State Park on Mondays. We went on about 5 miles worth of hiking, but the trails were very flat and nothing for the kids to worry about compared to the six mile hike in the canyons at Palo Duro.

Yep...my kids can walk on water.

Roly Poly's give live birth apparently in your hands.

Before a 2.5 mile hike

Gee, wonder how he is going to land?

Entrance to the Tyler Rose Garden. It smells wonderful!

We have a Roku and if you do not have one, they are so cool. It's like cable, but without the bill. I refuse to pay for TV. It's not like I should be watching it anyways. I do have a netflix subscription and a gymbox subscription, but that's only like $18 a month together. I exercise a lot and am most definitely not out of shape, but if you want someone to make you realize how out of shape you are then take an advanced Pilate's class from a crazy almost 7 month pregnant instructor for an hour. How can she do more abs than I can? I literally think I might be dying. How can you finger tips hurt? Maybe this means if I keep it up I will really fabulous shape.....either that or never be able to stand up without moaning again!

It has only been 4 weeks since we started summer break and the kids are already starting fight and drive me crazy....school might start back soon......well as soon as buy all the curriculum anyway!

The Bunch Are Off To A Wonderful 2025 And Are Considering A Change 🤔

It's official, she has a college diploma!! Besides totally enjoying a drama free year, we have been consciously spending time doing things as a family and spending time with each child doing things they enjoy. D has been playing ball and watching movies with his larger "mini me" while A and I have been spending a lot of time in Dallas going to the theatre. A absolutely loves going to see off Broadway productions! I won't be surprised in the slightest if she ends up getting season tickets. Dallas Broadway does a lottery to each show where if they draw your name you have 3 hours to buy tickets for $39 each including all fees! That is an absolute steal! She actually won the lottery on Tuesday so we went that night to see the production of "& Juliet". The seats she won were FANTASTIC! They don't give you cheap seats in the back for the lottery. You win good seats. The seats we ended up with worked out to be only about a quarter of the regular price! We h...

The Bunch Celebrate Christmas

It's become tradition for T to wear a Santa hat on Christmas. Our Christmas was pretty low key. D was able to go in late so he was able to have Christmas with us before he went to work which was really nice. The kids and I packed up and moved Christmas brunch to C&H's house since he needs to stay close to home and we worried about the lack of emergency care both on the way to our house and while here. I made up a potato casserole ahead of time, brought stuff for garden scrambled eggs, and banana bread while H made a really good cranberry punch and some pigs in a blanket. I have to say for only 5 people we had a ton of food! In fact, T ate so much for brunch I don't think he really ate anything for the rest of the day. He also finished his very last hour of driving on his way back home! Driver's license here we come....next week! After the mess Axl made last time we left him in his crate, we reenforced the doors with zip ties. We also made sure to take him on a wal...

The Bunch Visit Family

We had fun playing some board games...and it wasn't even a fun jar idea! We just did it because it sounded like fun! The fun jar has been a little slow being implemented this year. T made sure to let me know! We're making up for it next week by drawing several things. We have had a wonderfully busy week visiting family and getting things done around the house. We went over to my parents house to celebrate Father's Day and while the boys played games with Grandpa, the girls went with Grandma to show her what all the fuss about Trader Joe's is about. She enjoyed looking at all the different things and even found a few gems of her own. It was a nice day and fun to get out together for a little bit. We had a great day!🥰 We picked up Whataburger for my Dad as a treat and my mom made some tots and a side salad up to go with it.💗 We also had a nice long visit with our Aunt P. She's been under the weather and we hadn't had a visit in a couple weeks so it was nice t...
