Happy Mother's Day From the Bunch!

Our newest Baby!

First of all, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the mothers out there. Personally for me, we do not do a whole bunch of "stuff" on Mother's day. I am with my kids literally 24/7 with homeschool and everyday is pretty much Mother's Day. My kids are always wanting to play games with me, show me that they are thinking of me by bringing me flowers, or snuggling up to watch a movie or favorite tv show. That is not to say that the do not have moments that I swear some evil being has overtaken my sweet kids, but they are pretty sweet most of the time. I pray everyone else is as blessed as I am and able to enjoy your kids while they are young because my oldest is grown up and on his own and I really miss just being able to have small everyday moments together. I still see and talk to him regularly, but it will never be like it was when he was little so I really try to get the most of each day with the younger ones that are still at home.

We have had our shelter dog for almost a month now and she is just the sweetest dog. We are having some success with the leash training. She no longer completely flips a switch and becomes a circus dog that flips circles and bounces on two legs as soon as she sees the leash. She only half way turns into a circus dog by pulling the leash and turning in circles. She has not made a lot of progress on the separation anxiety even though 85% she is literally touching me. She is driving me a little crazy always following me, even across the room, or trying to lay on me, but we are still trying to work regularly on her understanding I come back. She even flips out if everyone else is home, but I leave. She does yoga with me and it is super cute. I will post pics next time because the camera port wouldn't work so ordering a new camera is now on the list!

Doesn't she look content....ALWAYS CLOSE TO ME!

The raining everyday is getting a little old after a month, but I try not to complain since we really needed the rain and it has greatly helped the drought. However, I am tired of being inside because of severe weather. I have been trying to put up a cover on the patio for two weeks now, but it won't stop raining long enough to set the concrete! Okay, truth be told the patio has been on the list for 11 years since we tore the old one down, but we finally have the resources AND the time to put it up.

I think she looks good in hats so of course she doesn't like them.

He finally climbed to the top!

The first blooms of the Texas Bluebonnet....Too bad I didn't get a pic when the all bloomed...so pretty!

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
