The Bunch Head to Gigi's House

We took the camper over to my in laws for a couple of nights so we could celebrate Christmas and also my nephew's birthday. It is nice because they have a large slab with hook ups for both our camper and their fifth wheel. It is also covered which really helps in inclement weather.  The dog is still learning her manners while we camp, but maybe one day when she's older she will behave better. You never know what you get with shelter dogs, but for the most part she is really good.....at least with us and with no other animals around. We finally got her DNA results back. Wow, we were all WAY off on guessing her lineage. We had thought pit bull, grey hound, Rhodesian ridgeback, with maybe a little maltese thrown in, given her love of freaking out over little white fluffy dogs.Oh, no! She is from a pure breed cattle dog line on one side and the other side has a wonderfully long lineage of mutt, mostly chow. I'm thinking the gate was left open and ooops. This may explain her fixation on small woodland creatures, but ironically she doesn't seem too interested in the cattle. The donkey she really wants to get to, but I guess the cattles horns have her less interested in them.
 We had a fun visit at the farm and enjoyed seeing everyone. The highlight of the visit was when my hubby and I picked up Rosa's for dinner for everyone. It was the worst experience. They didn't have anything ready, we had to pull around and wait out front for 20 minutes, go in and check on the order, ask the manager to check on it ( which he did while saying " you haven't got that yet?". He brought it out and after I checked the order I noticed we did not get salsa and when I asked about it, I pretty much got an eye roll before the employee went to retrieve some from the back. Once back at the house, we complained to everyone about the worst Rosa's experience ever. The tortillas were weird, the rice tasted funny, and the beans had cheese on them. We decided we were never going to that Rosa's again. It was horrible and we told everyone how bad this experience was. The next morning on the way to breakfast with my in laws I happen to look out the window and notice something. It turns out our Rosa's experience was so horrible because we were at Taco Cabana! How we never noticed until the next day, I have no idea. I mean we even went inside and talked to the manager! It turns out Rosa's was at the next light down.  Oh well, in my hubby and I's defense they look very similar on the outside. Sorry Rosa's, I should know your better than that!


Got my nails done with the gift certificate the kids got me.

We celebrate Ty's Bday.

T found a great jacket, didn't get it though.

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...
