The Bunch are Busy Helping Family and Getting Ready to Camp!

Happy Fall Ya'll

Yay! We did it! One of our two silkies, having officially laid several eggs, is a girl! The other one is currently doing what we refer to as the egg squat and will most likely lay in the next two weeks. After 70% of our first batch of chicks were roosters, I must admit we didn't have high hopes for any others. However, we have picked all girls the past two batches and there will NOT be a third batch.

The first little silkie to lay an egg (her name is Fluffy)

L was so excited to find the little egg.

Anna is the the only one we are waiting for. She should lay any day now.

One of our aunts was going through our beloved Memaw's things and found a circus train that she had loved. T is really into trains and so she shipped it to us. He had a lot of fun playing with it. It still needs a power source so we plan to order one and then T will really love it.

T really enjoyed checking everything out.

He thought it was super cool that you have to turn the door knob to get the caboose to open.

The horses are so cute. Ok, they are a lot of work, but they are really sweet. We enjoy watching them interact with each other and us.

She loves her big sister.

Picture time before dinner was testing her patience.

Gwen is always ready to fight back if Iris acts up during meal time.

Maisy always waits for me right by the gate, even if it is open. She will just sit there no matter how long I take unless her little friend comes out to play. She is still completely crazy on walks, but her old age has turned her into an awesome dog when we are at home.

They line up at the gate when they see me go feed the horses. They know they get treats whenever I come back.

Pretty much most of our family celebrates birthdays within a month of each other so we had a big celebration. We celebrated Gigi's, Poppop's, T's, L's (since Gigi and Poppop hadn't done that yet), A's, and my birthday. Basically, we celebrated everyone but D's birthday. We also helped the grandparents get some things done around the house. We trimmed trees (oodles and oodles of trees) and helped them paint the fence and well house. We got lots done and had a great time visiting with them. We slept really well that night!

Happy birthday to everyone, but D

T, D and I worked on trimming all the trees.

This is actually a ditch completely filled with all our tree limbs.

The girls painted the fence.

And the well house.

The girls apparently had more down time than we did!

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 Valentine's Day And Grandma's Birthday

Obviously, now that my kids are all pretty much grown Valentine's isn't as big of deal to them. However, in keeping with tradition, not to mention the fact T still wanted out of school for the day, we still had a mini party. I told them that this year I wasn't going to get them any candy, normally I get balloons and special treat for each of them, but this year I just wasn't feeling it so I decided I would buy them all pizza (a treat since I rarely allow pizza) and I had some little Bundt cakes to celebrate with. They all said they were fine with that. L doesn't really do sweets, A doesn't like chocolate, and T doesn't like truffles, but they all like pizza. We took the day off and fortunately didn't have any basketball related stuff. No practice, no games, a rare no basketball day. We watched a movie, played some minute to win it games, and just basically enjoyed a nice low key day. I remember the old days when they were little and we would all make
