The Bunch Are Lovin' the Holidays

Yes, he does.

While we are not officially on winter break yet, the kids and I have only been doing school when Daddy is at work. This way we can enjoy his days off without feeling stressed about school. This week we went to our Scout Christmas party at the skating rink. The kids had a blast and pretty much skated the entire two hours. They slept well that night! We continued on our Christmas show a day movie quest and the kids built (and ate) their gingerbread houses. We still love our tree and after the holidays we will get serious about planning our big fall trip.  Since this is probably A's last big trip with us before she gets busy with adulthood, she gets to pick the main focal point and then we will work in other stops around that. So far she thinks she wants the main stop to be a place in CT that the tv series Gilmore Girls is based on. We will see if that sticks. T has already picked his big trip for graduation (you know in 7 years). He wants to go to Alaska or an African Safari, which I have told him does not meet the in contiguous US guidelines, though I guess Alaska could be a possibility.
Using his time wisely...pretty sure he was suppose to be doing math.

This was a sailboat.

They got a great workout and enjoyed time with their friends.

Everyone's but A's has been eaten already.

Cookie needed some me time.

But then she got back to work....busy, busy, busy

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...
