Stupid Little Poem I Wrote This Summer

I wrote this with the kids this summer to try and fully explain our camper woes. We were all tired of working on the camper! We are so glad it is over! D and I always feel like we are forgetting to do something now because EVERY spare minute we have is no longer filled up with working on the camper.

Ode to My Camper:

In the driveway, you set

Looking a little sad

The girls and I had a thought

And made a little bet

We looked through the HGTV magazines we had

And found several things that we bought.

We decided a little paint and cloth

Could really cheer you up.

Excitedly we worked together

Planning out your salvation from demise.

We had barely started on our camper

Before realizing that this would take forever

And shouted out with our woeful cries.

No longer would this project just be for fun

D had voiced concern over several things he found.

He said there was no point in going forward

If the structural issues were not done.

"The structural base must be sound."

He made a list of goals to work toward

And our fun camper renovation

Took a drastic turn

Now our days were spent under the sun toiling

Many days we were out so long that we would burn

The temperature felt near boiling.

And it was NO longer a fun project.

Many times we would cry

And really wanted to give it a rest

And even though we would try

Things moved too slowly at best

Here we are now
Months have moved slowly by
We have completed the camper
And tears of joy we have cried

Time to take her out
And have lots of fun
It has been rainy
With very little sun
But Branson
Here we come

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 T's 16th Birthday

Three Birthdays in 10 days I cannot believe the baby of the family is 16! Actually, I can't believe they are all as old as they are. C will be 31 this year, A turns 21 tomorrow, L is 18, and little baby T is 16! It has been a wonderful ride and I was very blessed to be able to spend 24/7 with my kids while they were little. I have wonderful memories of all the times we shared. While the last year has been the hardest of our lives, it's been nice to see us all rally together and we have become even more appreciative of each other. T will just randomly stop to hug us and tell us he loves us.🥰 A is so very helpful and thoughtful and C is great about calling and keeping us updated on how they're doing way out in Bonham. I love my kids! We have decided to give pickleball a try as a family. Considering we've never even watched a game, our first lesson should be interesting! He has gotten so good at guitar! My parents celebrate our birthdays every year by treating us to di...
