The Bunch Get School Ready and Visit the Zoo

Oh, what great pics we get now! I love their smiles ❤️💗💓


 Wow! This has been such a great week. Not only were the temps down, but we also lost a lot of the humidity. In fact, one morning the temp for our morning dog walk was only 67! In August! In Texas! I was actually cold and wanted a jacket. The afternoons were warm, but bareable. We are now back to our normal really hot and super humid summer weather, but we enjoyed it while it lasted. One day we even went to the zoo. Our zoo is never busy and we only saw about 9 other people while we were there so I felt safe. It was nice to get out and enjoy part of the day without experiencing heat exhaustion. One afternoon we played in the backyard with the kids. T had the time of his life throwing the football with his dad and L performed on the lyra. 

T had so much throwing the ball with his dad.

L actually practices a lot on the Lyra.

He is really just a big kid.

Awwww. A Covid selfie.

It really just doesn't look comfortable.


Iris, the horse, is doing very well. T even rode her bareback for a bit. It took us over a year, but she is finally doing really well. Unfortunately, while she was out in the main pasture, she was spooked. She took off at a full run and basically just ran over the poor mini donkey. It really scared me because I just saw Iris not slow down, poor little Gwen's legs flip over her body, and then Gwen on her back with her bright white belly showing. However, Gwen got up immediately and for the past 2 days has behaved normally. Amazingly, Iris seems fine too. I thought for sure the collision would set us back on all her progress, but she is still walking around just fine. I still gave them their horse ibuprofen though, just in case.

Aren't they cute?

Ride 'em Cowboy!

L messing around on the Lyra didn't even phase Iris. She did great!


The babies are FINALLY laying eggs. Ok. Only one so far has actually laid an egg, but all of them are doing the egg squat so they should start laying soon. Ironically, the only one we thought might be a rooster was the first one to lay an egg. She still acts like roo though.

The little brown one is the baby egg and the blue one is a normal egg.


We start back to school on Monday. I am so happy we had no adjustments for school when the pandemic hit. Our school(other than sports) was completely unaffected. A is a senior this year and wants to be certified as a Vet Tech. L is a sophomore and thinks she wants to be an aerial arts instructor ( the previous 5 years she wanted to be a pediatric nurse so we'll see). T is in 7 th grade and doesn't want to go to college. He wants to be an Elvis impersonator. 😂 

Found a mustache sticker....yeah we're bored.

Cute! She was in her chicken cleaning outfit.

We have several watermelons 🍉 ready....all weigh AT LEAST 30lbs!!!!

 Super yummy.

L made several earrings

She worked really hard.

The girls bought new dresses from the boutique.


Have a  great week 😊

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 Are Ready For Fall To Come Back

  A and I at our favorite venue. We LOVE Bass Hall. I must admit that we are pretty tired of the crazy hot weather. We are ready to go back to the temps we had at the beginning of September. We played pickleball again this week, but D had required overtime to work so just T, A, and I went. We played singles and winner played the next person or A and I played together against T.  We ended up in full sun and the humidity was a killer. We are happy that the cold front is coming through this week and the mornings should be in the 60s or low 70s with low humidity. It should be super nice to play in. T won every game we played, but A and I together definitely made him work harder! We still had a lot fun. We decided against our usual post game Braums. We all were hot and really just wanted to get home to the a/c.  A won the lottery for tickets at Bass Hall to see the Life of Pi. We were up in the upper gallery, but that might have been beneficial for this show. The animal puppet...

The Bunch Have A Fun Week!

D had his awards banquet at a BBQ place we had been wanting to try for awhile. The food was really delicious and not greasy at all.  We have had a lot of expenses thrown at us lately. We bought our new appliances , which were well planned for. However, after that we had 2 cars to get repaired, one of which   was decided that it was too expensive and would make more sense to get a newer, stronger, younger one, I have to get some polyps removed, we owe uncle Sam money for the first time ever (thanks to the rule about the year a child turns 17 you lose the child tax credit even if the majority of the year they are 16), and lots of other little things. You know how it goes...when it rains it pours. Since we were unable to take the rv out because of the tow vehicle being unable to tow with a heavy load, more like us not wanting to risk trying, and since A had a day off work, we decided to go on an adventure to do something that none of us ever had done before. We started with...
