The Bunch Get Ready For Spring

My 22 yr old cat sleeping....old age makes you weird.


Lately, we have kept busy by taking advantage of the great weather to get some things done around the house. We are thinking about selling next year in order to move out to the country so we are tackling a list of honey do's that has accumulated over the last decade and a half. You never realize what you collect over the years until you think about whether it is really worth packing up and unpacking again.
  My hubby worked very hard the past 4 days making me a new dining table. It turned out great and he his turning into quite the wood worker. He has thought about doing this after his retirement in 12 years, but I plan on traveling with him for at least 3 years after he retires so that will have to wait! There is something to say about making something by hand. It feels good to be able to do it yourself. He will get a break from manual labor next weekend while we celebrate our youngest daughter's birthday then hopefully he will be able to finish the fence.
    T was super sick last week and the poor thing literally could not keep anything down for two days. I felt so bad for him. Luckily, no one else caught it and he felt well enough on the 5th day to be able to take the camper to my in laws for the weekend.

L has been getting ready for her party and is super excited to be turning double digits this year. Being the baby crazy girl she is, she has decided to throw a baby themed party. We are probably the only parents to essentially throw their 10 year old daughter a baby shower. She wants to go swimming at the gym again, which will work out well since it is indoors and we are expecting several storms over the next few days.

A has been busy getting ready for her first 5k that is in a couple of weeks. She ran non stop on her first trial run last week and finished in 34:45, which I was pretty proud of. I fully plan on her never running 3 miles again though. She is always in a horrible mood for an hour afterwards and repeatedly reminds me of how much she hates running, when she is not reminding me of how she is pretty sure she is dying!

Codey has been pretty busy lately and we haven't had the opportunity to visit with him much. He still is working at the local car dealership in sales and really likes it. He has been dealing with some back issues lately and is seeing a chiropractor. He has been renting a house in Carrollton for the past year and seems to be doing well.  We are going to medieval times together next week and I look forward to seeing him. He visits often, but I always want more time with him. I am sure I will feel that way when all my kids finally leave the nest. It will be so different when just D and I are here.
     Our scout family camp out is in two weeks and we can't wait. It is always so fun to go camping with everyone! I just hope that the typical spring storms stay away that weekend. We will just watch movies in our trailer, but a lot of people tent camp and have very young kids so the rain would be ho
The pic doesn't do the table justice.!
rrible!
I couldn't resist this photo op for T.

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 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...

The Bunch Start Birthday Week

  Yes, my Mom had my name misspelled on the cake.😂 It was still yummy so it was all good. T, A, and I all have our birthdays within a week and a half. Which means there is a crazy amount of sugar within those 10 days. We always like to make whoever's birthday it is feel special for the day. We watch what they want,do activities they like, eat what they pick, do their chores for them, etc. It not usually too expensive, but just a fun day where it's focused on them. The kids use to use their days to rule like little kings and queens, but have become a lot calmer in their "old" age since they get to do whatever they want most of the time anyways. We are a pretty close family and do a lot of things together all the time anyways, but on birthdays we still make sure we defer to the birthday boy/girl. My birthday is first and the kids do so many nice things for me all the time, but they put forth an extra effort on my birthday. This year A even woke up early to turn the cof...
