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 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 Are Ready For Fall To Come Back

  A and I at our favorite venue. We LOVE Bass Hall. I must admit that we are pretty tired of the crazy hot weather. We are ready to go back to the temps we had at the beginning of September. We played pickleball again this week, but D had required overtime to work so just T, A, and I went. We played singles and winner played the next person or A and I played together against T.  We ended up in full sun and the humidity was a killer. We are happy that the cold front is coming through this week and the mornings should be in the 60s or low 70s with low humidity. It should be super nice to play in. T won every game we played, but A and I together definitely made him work harder! We still had a lot fun. We decided against our usual post game Braums. We all were hot and really just wanted to get home to the a/c.  A won the lottery for tickets at Bass Hall to see the Life of Pi. We were up in the upper gallery, but that might have been beneficial for this show. The animal puppet...

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...
