The Bunch Celebrate L's Bday and Get a New Dog

Happy Birthday L!

For the first time in a few years, L celebrated her actual birthday without being on a trip or just back from a trip. In fact, it was almost 2 full weeks from when we arrived home that she celebrated her birthday. She hates celebrating her bday on the road, but normally spring break includes her birthday so it cannot be helped. We throw her a party on another day, but she still likes being home on her birthday. My husband and I gave her a magic kit from Universal Studios that we saw while we were there for vacation. She practiced and during her party put on a little magic show for her guests. She did really well.....we gave her the levitating magic kit so she showed us the "magic" way she could levitate the card. It looks really cool!

Easter Morning

Made Daddy in charge of egg dying! hehee!!!

We also ended up adopting a shelter dog. We had been dogless for about 6 months and truth be told DH and I really liked it. No walking the dog, no worrying about picking up the backyard or leaving the gate ajar, no being woken up at night to let it out, and no having it completely flip out over a thunderstorm. I wasn't sure we would get another dog. However, my son had animal services come visit his library class. He drew them a thank you picture and we ended up with a dog. She is a very high energy dog, but since 3 kids always want to play circus dog and fetch she receives a lot of attention. The only issue is she has severe separation anxiety and will not leave my side for hardly a second. I am literally always with in eyesight or more than likely have her touching me somewhere. It is sweet, but seriously annoying..we have lots of work to do with that. Overall, she is the sweetest, most affectionate, well behaved dog we have ever had. She is already part of the family and everyone absolutely loves her!

The cool lizard who hangs out on our window every afternoon for the past 2 years!

Believe it or not this DIDN'T end badly.

Our eldest, now 21, and his horse...I mean dog at his new house.

She really always has to be this close.

Sometimes closer!

She jumped down to be next to me about 3 seconds later.

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...
