The Bunch Head to TWU to watch Gymnastics

As one of the requirements for scouts to earn their gymnastics pin, the girls had to attend a gymnastics meet or competition. We decided to go see the TWU girls team compete; for no other reason other than they were the closest!  It had been awhile since my husband and I have tried to navigate a college campus and since neither of us went to TWU we had no idea where anything was. Fortunately, the campus is small and it didn't take too long to locate where we needed to go.  They were competing against Iowa State and the whole thing was a lot of fun to watch. Anytime one of the TWU girls scored a 9.7 or better they would throw shirts to the crowd and A  caught one.  Afterward, they had a hand stand competition that L participated in. The girls were pumped to go to gymnastics a couple of days later since they were fresh off the excitement of the meet. In fact once we came home, that very night they all ran out to the trampoline to practice. It was a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

We have all been trying not to get sick. Strep throat has been going around a lot of the places we frequent. We have had a few sore throats and some run down tired feelings, but nothing too serious yet so hopefully it stays that way. Though the constant flip flop of 80 to 40 degree days is wreaking havoc on allergies.

We finally got my little car back. My 2000 Hyundai Elantra. We have spent about 4 times what the car is worth on repairs, but we decided that it had been a good car and with repairs replacing most of the cars parts, it should last a long time. It just gets hard to find discontinued parts, However, it does have less than 125,000 miles on it so it has a lot of life left. The first day it was back we had a flat tire the next morning and now I think it needs some shocks, but overall it has never ran better and the tires are under warranty so no worry there! It is just so nice to take the little car shopping because it easily fits into the parking spaces, has tons of trunk space, and gets fantastic gas mileage compared to the SUVs.

Our eldest boy came to visit with his step daughter.  We had a great time visiting while the kids played together. He even helped his little brother with some football drills. It is always great to see everyone.

Big brother helping little brother....priceless.


Our kids have discovered one benefit to lots of land with no trees yet is that they can fly kites. They had a blast flying kites in the front yard while Pop pop was here helping dad with the car.  It is ALWAYS windy here so it will be good kite weather. In fact, most of the time it might be too windy!
The front yard!

So wonderful....love the country!

Kept them busy for about an hour.

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...

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 Have A Fantastic Week!

  Pickleball is always fun! Now that the weather has been nicer, albeit super windy, we have been trying to do our weekly pickleball match. Basically, this week whoever was playing with the wind won! We still have fun playing even when it is windy. In fact, playing in the wind probably makes us have more fun. The wind gusts sometimes pick the ball up and make it do some funny things, like getting the ball and pushing it back onto your side so you lose a point or blowing it three courts over! Luckily, we are usually the only ones there so it doesn't matter if we play across 4 courts. Afterwards, we usually go get some ice cream/ frozen yogurt and just enjoy our outing.  T went camping this weekend with his troop. They worked on orienteering, which I was super happy about since T needs to work on that something fierce, but unfortunately the boys in troop aren't much better than him at orienteering and the first guy oriented them upside down on the first one so they basically was...
