The Bunch Finish Birthday Month!!!!

The Last Party!!!! Yay!!!!

Birthday Celebration #4

We have finally celebrated with everyone L's birthday! Yay! No more birthday! L wanted a spring flowers theme so we decorated the house in artificial flowers and butterflies. It turned out really lovely. She is quite the inspiring chef and made a cookies and cream cake that was fantastic. She also made a homemade fruit dip and vegetable dip. She took the time to cut up and arrange the vegetables and fruit herself. She did a wonderful job and as a bonus I DON'T HAVE TO!

The weather has been formidable lately, but so far we have lucked out and the really nasty stuff has skirted around us. However, our yard is drowning! We have several "ponds" on the property now and while the birds have been enjoying their choice of a bathing area I just see a muddy mess where I have to wipe the dog's feet off EVERY time she goes outside. If it ever stops storming for a couple of weeks, we will plant grass so we will no longer have the mud pit. I will never understand how the previous owners only wanted a yard of weeds. It really is embarrassing. I literally only have different types of weeds and since we have begun treating the yard for weeds, I now mostly have dirt.

A was the first of the kids to sustain a gymnastics injury. Luckily, she just twisted her ankle a bit when landing on a jump and after a couple of days of ice and rest she was basically recovered.

Poor A could hardly walk for a couple of days.

L started playing soccer this week. She had a double header right off the bat. She won one and lost one. However, she played well and was moved up to a starter on the second game. It is a coed team and she is one of 3 girls. She wanted neon pink socks and they make her so easy to spot on the field.

Love the pink socks!

T built a building as tall as himself.

We have become British Baking Show addicts and L carries it over to her playdough,

Tristan plays too. This was apparently my self portrait.

Of course, the well pump had to go out. The pump is conveniently located 380ft UNDER the well house. Guess what had to go!

The hotel for rabbits has opened back up under our deck. This new one is smart so he might last a bit. He knows whenever the outside light comes on that death is coming out. I have noticed he has been getting a little brave lately and coming out midday so I guess we will see how long he can last. Never underestimate our dog's speed. The bodies have been piling up. We maybe single handedly feeding the vulture population. They sure are cute hopping around the yard.....at least until they eat my grapes then they must go!

He likes to come out early in the evening.

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 Enjoy Easter

The Bunch ready to head to church to celebrate Easter. We had a wonderful Easter. The kids and I dyed eggs together. T made a fairly intricate Guns N Roses logo egg while A and I just enjoyed making pretty eggs. We have discovered that using food coloring makes for way brighter eggs than using the horrible Easter egg dye kits from the store. I participated in the egg hunt with the kids this year. It was so much fun! We laughed so hard as we all ran around trying to beat each other. Afterwards, we had our traditional egg gravy and went to church. We enjoyed a ham dinner and watched HOP. It was a great day. T worked a long time on this egg. It was by far the most intricate egg he has ever done. He did a fantastic job! T actually fell down (you can tell by grass on his knee), but he wasn't going to lose no matter what! We had so much fun and laughter! It was great!! All smiles on our way to church. It was a little early still for A. The week has been pretty good. Better than I though

The Bunch Celebrate Valentine's Day And Grandma's Birthday

Obviously, now that my kids are all pretty much grown Valentine's isn't as big of deal to them. However, in keeping with tradition, not to mention the fact T still wanted out of school for the day, we still had a mini party. I told them that this year I wasn't going to get them any candy, normally I get balloons and special treat for each of them, but this year I just wasn't feeling it so I decided I would buy them all pizza (a treat since I rarely allow pizza) and I had some little Bundt cakes to celebrate with. They all said they were fine with that. L doesn't really do sweets, A doesn't like chocolate, and T doesn't like truffles, but they all like pizza. We took the day off and fortunately didn't have any basketball related stuff. No practice, no games, a rare no basketball day. We watched a movie, played some minute to win it games, and just basically enjoyed a nice low key day. I remember the old days when they were little and we would all make
