The Bunch do VBS

This was our first VBS experience at our new church in Denton. The youngest two were able to attend and the rest of us volunteered. D was a 5th grade group leader for 3 days until he had to return to work. A and I were in elementary crafts and had 1st, 3rd, and 5th grades. It was chaotic, but fun. This was A's first time volunteering and she said she has never been so tired! She did great though and was a HUGE help. 

Kids showing me the moves to their VBS songs



A's volleyball team played fantastically last week and won all 3 sets in both games. The playoffs are this weekend so hopefully the do just as well. She has had a wonderful time playing and it is great to see her come out of her shell a little.

D and I have been busy building the chicken coop outside. The cute, quiet, and non smelly stage of the chicks has passed. I now have a tub full of squawking, stinky, and trying to fly out birds, though I did solve the flying issue by placing a baby gate over the top of the water trough. We have been working outside most of the time the past few days and even if it is cooler than normal....IT IS HOT! We have the kids bringing us cold water every 20 minutes because of the humidity. All we have left is to put the door on and something on the roof to provide more shade. D   was able to get free wood from the sawmill's scrap pile so that really kept costs down, but the only thing that has been inexpensive about the birds are the actual birds. We still have all 10, but feel fairly confident that the number will go down to 7, since we are pretty sure at least 3 are roosters. I really just want them out of my kitchen. They are neat to watch and they all have their own personalities, but they are stinky and loud. We probably went over board on the coop, but at least they will have plenty of room and just maybe we won't have to clean it quite as frequently.

Yep...those were our cute fluff balls.

They are getting HUGE.

Trying to save them from death by dog.


I can't believe summer is almost over. We start back to school Aug 7.  Life is busy....may we always remember to savor the days because the go quickly.

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...
