The Bunch is Enjoying Fall

The awesome view from our campsite!

We have been enjoying the nice weather lately. In fact, we headed to Inks State Park for a few days just a couple of weeks ago. We stopped by the Dinosaur Valley State Park on our way down to Inks and were surprised the "river" , really not more than ditch water right now, was so low that the tracks at the rivers bottom were very easily visible. The kids thought the tracks were neat, but had a much better time climbing on the cave at the playground. However, once we arrived at Inks they loved it. The campsites here were huge. Each site was about 1/3 of an acre and we had one right off the lake. The trees were just starting to color for fall and its was picturesque. We found time in our visit to also take a guided tour of the nearby Longhorn Cavern and really enjoyed that as well. This week we enjoyed the State Fair of Texas. Unfortunately for us, it was so busy that it took forever to do anything. We still enjoyed the shows though. The dog agility show and the birds of the world show are always our favorites.

Kids perform during service.

We take at pit stop for a few hours in Glen Rose.

Always posing.

He is ALWAYS photo bombing!

We were hoping to not watch the cliff divers die.

Lots of fun at the state fair.

The Bunch Have A Hard Week

This was actually part of T's present. He had been begging D to do it.😂 It only stayed around a short while. After throwing such a fun and memorable birthday party for T at the lake with his basketball buddies, we have decided to part ways with the basketball organization. I cannot get past that evil man being anywhere near us or people I care about. I did make sure to give everyone a fair warning about the evil man and they can now hopefully make an informed decision about their level of involvement with him. I don't think T's too bothered by it. He didn't want to play this year anyways, but I had originally really wanted him to be around his friends. I am not sure what we will do instead, but I know he is happy to NOT have to run. He hates running. I am basically just feeling completely defeated. I trust no one and have a complete LACK of faith in police officers and lawyers. I know my husband is a good officer, but that's about it and the count is on until June

The Bunch Enjoy Easter

The Bunch ready to head to church to celebrate Easter. We had a wonderful Easter. The kids and I dyed eggs together. T made a fairly intricate Guns N Roses logo egg while A and I just enjoyed making pretty eggs. We have discovered that using food coloring makes for way brighter eggs than using the horrible Easter egg dye kits from the store. I participated in the egg hunt with the kids this year. It was so much fun! We laughed so hard as we all ran around trying to beat each other. Afterwards, we had our traditional egg gravy and went to church. We enjoyed a ham dinner and watched HOP. It was a great day. T worked a long time on this egg. It was by far the most intricate egg he has ever done. He did a fantastic job! T actually fell down (you can tell by grass on his knee), but he wasn't going to lose no matter what! We had so much fun and laughter! It was great!! All smiles on our way to church. It was a little early still for A. The week has been pretty good. Better than I though

The Bunch Celebrate Valentine's Day And Grandma's Birthday

Obviously, now that my kids are all pretty much grown Valentine's isn't as big of deal to them. However, in keeping with tradition, not to mention the fact T still wanted out of school for the day, we still had a mini party. I told them that this year I wasn't going to get them any candy, normally I get balloons and special treat for each of them, but this year I just wasn't feeling it so I decided I would buy them all pizza (a treat since I rarely allow pizza) and I had some little Bundt cakes to celebrate with. They all said they were fine with that. L doesn't really do sweets, A doesn't like chocolate, and T doesn't like truffles, but they all like pizza. We took the day off and fortunately didn't have any basketball related stuff. No practice, no games, a rare no basketball day. We watched a movie, played some minute to win it games, and just basically enjoyed a nice low key day. I remember the old days when they were little and we would all make
