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 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 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 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...
