The Bunch Get a Taste of Fall




Granted our taste of fall only lasted for 2 days so far, but at least we are moving towards cooler weather. It just isn't right to be in the upper 90's in October. Supposedly on Friday, there is a big cold front coming through and we will move from summer to winter temps for a few days, but I guess that is Texas weather for you.

 We are getting ready to take the camper out for a few days and this will be the first time leaving the horses with our chicken sitters. They should be fine, but with animals, especially overly large determined ones, you never know what kind of trouble they can get into. The horse has been doing better...illness wise (she is still ornery). The vet prescribed an eye ointment that completely cleared up her infection and we hired a barefoot specialist to fix the hack job of the last farrier.  As of yesterday, the horse was trotting around the back yard and NOT having any pain killers. I will be glad in a couple more weeks when we can exercise her again. She needs more structure. Now that she is feeling better, she is forgetting her manners and becoming pushy. She has also started biting our sweet little donkey. Yesterday, she ran over and bit the little donkey's neck for going near "her" water trough. Luckily, she didn't break the skin, but it really startled both D and I who were out there at the time petting her. I have kept an extra close eye on them today though and so far I haven't seen any issues with them. The chickens are starting to get their new feathers in and  no longer are resembling something you would find in the frozen food section of your local grocer.

We went to a UNT volleyball game last week and it was a lot of fun. A really likes volleyball and for her birthday wanted to get tickets to a game. They played RICE and it was a pretty close game (except for the third set where UNT just kind of gave up).  They could use more signage at UNT since a sign at the front of the street says the volleyball center is this way, but then they never tell you where  and bury the building behind SEVERAL other buildings. The only way we found it was by driving around ALL the buildings (there are a lot) until we happened to stumble upon it, which by the way apparently the basketball team has their own building just for practicing (apparently they had signs for this, but not where games are actually being played for volleyball).

The new baby bull...the kids call him "Marshmallow".

We had fun.

Most of the girls were about 6ft tall....and several wore knee braces.

Everyone likes their Maisy time.

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...
