The Bunch Get Busy

 

T is so sweet! Since L stopped making all the little signs for the holidays he has taken it upon himself to make them.

First off, we had a wonderful Father's Day. We ended up driving to Davis, OK to get some fried pies that D loves and later that afternoon C and his family came over to celebrate with us. It was really nice. We grilled out and played some card games. It was nice to have some laughs and enjoy family time. It was also our last day together before the kids were off to their very busy weeks.

L did make daddy a card and did his chores for the day.

Poor A is still dealing with life with only prescription sunglasses, which she does wear sometimes in the house!

T's camp is literally right next to where we drove to get Dad's fried pies.

It took us almost 20 minutes to get through the line and get our pies. It was super busy, but so worth it!

❤❤❤My Boys!❤❤❤

H and C are getting ready for their wedding! Save the dates are about to go out!

L and B had girl time.

T had been so excited about going with his friend to camp for a week! He had been counting down the days. While he was very excited, he was also nervous about being away from his family for a week. We all wrote him a letter to read so each day he would have something from his family to read and remind him that we miss and love him and cannot wait until he comes home to tell us all about his fun trip. I have no doubt when I pick him up on Saturday afternoon that he will be beyond tired. They go to bed around 11:45 pm and have to be up at 6:15 am, which we normally get up about that early, but we NEVER stay up that late. It was really hard watching the bus leave. We followed it all the way to our exit, but if it hadn't stopped raining we would have followed it the whole way.  He has had a blast though and called me a couple of times to tell me what he has done. He came in second at a three point contest and was really happy about that. Last time we talked he hadn't really done anything other than play basketball, which he loves. He did have plans to go swimming, play ping pong, zipline, and use the rock wall. Hopefully, he does end up trying some new things. 

He is so excited for his camp!

The girls have worked hard all week! They have to arrive at camp at 7:15 am and not leave until 4:15 pm! They are each responsible for about 11 kids. The camp itself has over 450 kids attending! It is loud hot and crazy! When T attended this camp, I had to wear earplugs to pick him up. It was like a rock concert! Unfortunately, since A has to wear the wrong prescription for her glasses (she broke her usual glasses) and deal with all the loudness, she has come home every night with a horrible migraine and pretty much goes straight to bed. Today is her kids' day to play water sports outside so she is able wear her sunglasses all day, which are her current prescription, so I am hopeful that today won't be so bad for her. 

Even though we had to replant because of the big winter storm, his garden is doing really well and is just a little behind.

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's Streak Of Bad Luck Continues

We made great time on the way there! It's amazing how leaving only 30 minutes later can help immensely with traffic. I wish all the shows started at 8 instead of 7:30.  What a week this was! We went to Bass Hall to see Back to the Future. It was ok. Definitely not the best play we have seen. The boys went with us and since the last two shows they joined us for were The Outsiders, which is one of, if not our most, favorite show ever, and A Christmas Story, which is in probably in the top 6, they were really not impressed. However, we still had a nice time doing something different together.  We love Bass Hall❤️ We had opening night tickets and got a GREAT deal! I went in this week and had my polyps removed plus they did a biopsy. I was more sore and for longer than I anticipated. Yes, the doctor said recovery was about 10 days, but I really only anticipated maybe 3-4. Boy, was I wrong! It's been 7 days now and by 10 I think I will be completely back to normal. Unfortunately, sh...
