The Bunch Are Busy Again!

Game Day was quite cold this week. T's team is in 2nd place so far.

Our lives, like virtually everyone else's, came to a screeching halt last year (Thanks Again Covid), but lately our life is slowly becoming what it was. D normally has several days in both the spring and summer that he has to go in for training. For those people who are saying "Police need more training", they obviously have no idea how many REQUIRED hours EVERY year that police officers attend training. While last year  provided a nice escape from training season (Thanks Again Covid), this year's training season is back with a vengeance. Probably to make up for last year, which basically means my husband has to work on one of his days off for the foreseeable future. 
The youngest two kids are both participating in sports again and our calendar is once again looking very colorful. T's garden is starting to sprout. He planted only okra and corn this year and plans to sell his excess at the Farmer's market. The girls are volunteering again to be camp counselors at church this summer. We only have six weeks left of school and then summer break. Yay! A was accepted into her Vet Tech program in the fall and has been busy doing things she needs to get done before her semester starts. The girls are also very excited that prom is in 2 weeks! I told them to take a lot of pictures since I am not allowed passed the entrance ( only ticket holders and staff are allowed in the convention center for security reasons). We will see if they remember or if they have too much fun and forget. I really hope one of their friends gets their dance routine they have been working on recorded. They have spent hours practicing the routine to the Schuyler Sisters song from the Hamilton movie. They not only have learned the movements, but also the facial expressions of the dancers. It is really good. I would love to see what it looks like when they perform it at prom.





Our cute baby kitty is now officially over her ringworm, which means our 3x a week shower together can be over; however, she injured her paw and it has swollen to 3x it's normal size and as it turns out the solution to heal it is, of course, holding her foot in an epsom salt bath.....in the shower. I will say just having to get her foot wet for a few minutes is WAY easier than having to get her completely wet, shampoo her with special shampoo, wait for 10 minutes, and then rinse her off. She also apparently ate something she shouldn't have because she has been throwing up the past two nights. She really is like a baby. Basically, she has not been well one single day since we have had her. She is just the sweetest cat though so hopefully she outgrows her issues. The vet seems to think it is a distinct possibility.
Also on a sad note our beautiful view of the hay field behind our property is leaving. The land has been sold to a real estate development company. They will build houses on 2 acres lots. I guess it could be worse, but I really loved looking out over my deck and seeing only land for as far as the eye could see.  
Mama and Daddy bird literally dragged baby bird out of the nest. It was pretty vicious. I had never seen birds do that before.

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...
