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'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...

The Bunch Say Goodbye

  Aunt P picked a lovely cemetery. It was so beautiful and peaceful. For the past 8 years or so we have helped our Aunt P.  We have had numerous visits and conversations over the years, not to mention dinners and root beer floats. We have watched her physical health decline while her mental health was still sharp as tack. Sadly, the last month of her life she had started to have several moments where she didn't know what was going on. We had numerous conversations about her death with her and we are very happy in knowing that she finally has the relief she wanted. The past year in particular was VERY hard on her and she needed help more. D and I would visit almost every Wednesday and Saturday, plus whenever she called for help. It was nice to talk to her. She was witty, smart, knew the answer to just about anything, and did a wonderful job of making you feel special and loved. I once told her that I would really miss our chats when she was gone...I will. I really enjoyed getti...

The Bunch Have A Fun Week!

D had his awards banquet at a BBQ place we had been wanting to try for awhile. The food was really delicious and not greasy at all.  We have had a lot of expenses thrown at us lately. We bought our new appliances , which were well planned for. However, after that we had 2 cars to get repaired, one of which   was decided that it was too expensive and would make more sense to get a newer, stronger, younger one, I have to get some polyps removed, we owe uncle Sam money for the first time ever (thanks to the rule about the year a child turns 17 you lose the child tax credit even if the majority of the year they are 16), and lots of other little things. You know how it goes...when it rains it pours. Since we were unable to take the rv out because of the tow vehicle being unable to tow with a heavy load, more like us not wanting to risk trying, and since A had a day off work, we decided to go on an adventure to do something that none of us ever had done before. We started with...
