The Bunch Celebrate Day 110 of Rain!

The each have a half a bottle of gel and hairspray to hold their buns during their dance recital.
Okay, we are not celebrating and it hasn't been 110 days, but we are really tired of it raining everyday. I do not want to be the one who starts complaining about the rain and have the drought return, but please God let us have a week to dry out a little! I cannot remember the last time the 7 day forecast did not include rain everyday! I am developing a lake around my house and I do not even live in a low lying area! Two days ago we saw ducks swimming on the sidewalk! The kids are already tired of summer because we haven't been able to do much. No parks, no zoo, no waterpark, no outside; the only thing we do is once a day take the dog on a walk/swim through the neighborhood. There are so many mosquitoes now from the rain that I feel fairly confident we will all catch malaria or some other horrible disease. The dog is almost as restless as the kids, but at least she can go in her crate if I need her to settle down, though the kids might like it if I put them in the crate!
Water

more water... I call this Lake Walters

even more water

   One of the few things we have done, is we went to watch the girls dance recital. They have been working on it all year and it was really good. I could tell all the girls had worked so hard on their routines and it really showed! I think the ridiculous amount of time I had to spend getting their buns just right, might have been worth it.

L received an award for being the most diligent in the company. 

A received a dance award for being the most supportive member in the company.

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 T's 16th Birthday

  Three Birthdays in 10 days I cannot believe the baby of the family is 16! Actually, I can't believe they are all as old as they are. C will be 31 this year, A turns 21 tomorrow, L is 18, and little baby T is 16! It has been a wonderful ride and I was very blessed to be able to spend 24/7 with my kids while they were little. I have wonderful memories of all the times we shared. While the last year has been the hardest of our lives, it's been nice to see us all rally together and we have become even more appreciative of each other. T will just randomly stop to hug us and tell us he loves us.🥰 A is so very helpful and thoughtful and C is great about calling and keeping us updated on how they're doing way out in Bonham. I love my kids! We have decided to give pickleball a try as a family. Considering we've never even watched a game, our first lesson should be interesting!  He has gotten so good at guitar! My parents celebrate our birthdays every year by treating us to di...
