The Bunch Take the Freshly Finished Camper on Its Maiden Voyage

It was miserably humid outside.

Well, all our hard work paid off. Our Boy Scout camping trip was absolutely miserable. The humidity levels were so high that even night time was uncomfortable. In four years of camping with this group, this was the worse trip. The mosquitoes were in swarms by the thousands and since you were just dripping in sweat from the humidity levels, they just stuck to you. Thankfully, we had a/c and spent most of the time in the camper watching movies. We really got to enjoy our new cushions and paint job. Unfortunately, our stupid dog made her super long crazy tail bleed again. it was reminiscent of our big trip a couple years ago where we had to make her a tail splint to keep her from whacking the tip of her tail open on everything. Usually she doesn't have this happen on our short trips, but lucky us she made an exception this time. A good portion of our weekend was spent cleaning blood off everything her tail whacked. Luckily, my new paint held up really well!

T was happy to see his friends after all summer.

I plan and buy stuff for meals, D does clean up and cooking....It was too hot to cook outside.

No shower...he just came in after playing outside for an hour.

T looks gigantic next to his friends.

The girls stayed behind to play their double header volleyball game and spent the weekend with their grandparents. Unfortunately, they lost both games. We have one game left before the playoffs are here and they should win that game, though I feel bad because the other team hasn't won a single game this year.

The girls love to bake....this was a yummy carrot cake.

L is my little decorator....I will miss her decorations when she stops doing them.

D spent about 10 hours this weekend changing all the faucets out for my mom. He did a great job; they definitely look fabulous and I am pretty sure they won't leak. ;) I was his "helper" which I think is code for beck and call person and someone to unload frustrations on. He gets into a zone while he is doing a project, so I just ignore most of what he says because when he is done he is my happy hubby again, though maybe a little sore this time from laying in the cabinets for so long. Never doubt his mad skills, he can do anything I put my mind to.

L had to write a paragraph and she wrote about my father....priceless.

Lunch with the family.

Mosquitoes are NO match for my wine glasses.

We have our 2nd annual Branson trip coming up and can't wait. We have an all new list of things to do this year. It should be lots of fun and my parents are once again going to join us for part of the trip.

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...
