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 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 Are Off To A Wonderful 2025 And Are Considering A Change 🤔

It's official, she has a college diploma!! Besides totally enjoying a drama free year, we have been consciously spending time doing things as a family and spending time with each child doing things they enjoy. D has been playing ball and watching movies with his larger "mini me" while A and I have been spending a lot of time in Dallas going to the theatre. A absolutely loves going to see off Broadway productions! I won't be surprised in the slightest if she ends up getting season tickets. Dallas Broadway does a lottery to each show where if they draw your name you have 3 hours to buy tickets for $39 each including all fees! That is an absolute steal! She actually won the lottery on Tuesday so we went that night to see the production of "& Juliet". The seats she won were FANTASTIC! They don't give you cheap seats in the back for the lottery. You win good seats. The seats we ended up with worked out to be only about a quarter of the regular price! We h...

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...
