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 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 Visit Family

  We had fun playing some board games...and it wasn't even a fun jar idea! We just did it because it sounded like fun! The fun jar has been a little slow being implemented this year. T made sure to let me know! We're making up for it next week by drawing several things.  We have had a wonderfully busy week visiting family and getting things done around the house. We went over to my parents house to celebrate Father's Day and while the boys played games with Grandpa, the girls went with Grandma to show her what all the fuss about Trader Joe's is about. She enjoyed looking at all the different things and even found a few gems of her own. It was a nice day and fun to get out together for a little bit. We had a great day!🥰 We picked up Whataburger for my Dad as a treat and my mom made some tots and a side salad up to go with it.💗 We also had a nice long visit with our Aunt P. She's been under the weather and we hadn't had a visit in a couple weeks so it was nice t...

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...
