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 Start Birthday Week

Yes, my Mom had my name misspelled on the cake.😂 It was still yummy so it was all good. T, A, and I all have our birthdays within a week and a half. Which means there is a crazy amount of sugar within those 10 days. We always like to make whoever's birthday it is feel special for the day. We watch what they want,do activities they like, eat what they pick, do their chores for them, etc. It not usually too expensive, but just a fun day where it's focused on them. The kids use to use their days to rule like little kings and queens, but have become a lot calmer in their "old" age since they get to do whatever they want most of the time anyways. We are a pretty close family and do a lot of things together all the time anyways, but on birthdays we still make sure we defer to the birthday boy/girl. My birthday is first and the kids do so many nice things for me all the time, but they put forth an extra effort on my birthday. This year A even woke up early to turn the cof...

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...

The Bunch Have A Fantastic Week!

Pickleball is always fun! Now that the weather has been nicer, albeit super windy, we have been trying to do our weekly pickleball match. Basically, this week whoever was playing with the wind won! We still have fun playing even when it is windy. In fact, playing in the wind probably makes us have more fun. The wind gusts sometimes pick the ball up and make it do some funny things, like getting the ball and pushing it back onto your side so you lose a point or blowing it three courts over! Luckily, we are usually the only ones there so it doesn't matter if we play across 4 courts. Afterwards, we usually go get some ice cream/ frozen yogurt and just enjoy our outing. T went camping this weekend with his troop. They worked on orienteering, which I was super happy about since T needs to work on that something fierce, but unfortunately the boys in troop aren't much better than him at orienteering and the first guy oriented them upside down on the first one so they basically was...
