The Bunch Go Camping With Scouts


D helping T with his troops campfire skit.

T and L goofing off by the campfire at our site.


We just returned from Cooper Lake State Park. This time we went with our scout group and our group rented out the entire park. It was so much fun and such a different experience to realize I did not have to worry about the kids yelling and screaming through the park because EVERYONE had kids doing the same thing! We even felt comfortable enough to let our kids ride their bikes around the loop by themselves. The scouts put on campfire skits one night and they were really cute and entertaining. On Sunday morning, the venturing crew served breakfast for all 200 of us and then had a worship time. It was a lot of fun and we are looking forward to the spring camping trip. D has become the assistant Den Leader in T's troop and I have been teaching a badge for the past three weeks to their youngest group of American Heritage Girls. The dog did better than expected, but could only tolerate about an hour out at a time before she was ready for the safe and quiet confines of her kennel in the trailer. We almost left this time without the trailer keys, but luckily realized that right away. Overall, great trip. Next we will be heading to Nebraska to visit family for Thanksgiving. We won't be taking the trailer so hopefully we can make better time. We are super excited about visiting our family, though not necessarily the 12 hour drive.
The beach was not as nice as it was last time.

We found prints on the beach.

Making lunch.

On our way to the campfire skits and dessert buffet. We had SO much fun!

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...
