The Bunch Are Busy

C & H got there engagement pictures back. They turned out really good.

First off, it has been nice to have the cooler weather, but I could really do without the 40 mph winds! Everything is pretty much being beat to death by the winds and getting hay is really NOT fun. The new chicken has adapted to living in the coop with the other hens surprisingly well. No one really picks on her and she seems happy. She adjusted to the coop so much better than the last chicken we introduced (the highway chicken). It seems like it was just too easy.

L tried out for her solo last week and should find out this week if she got it. It is for the Christmas concert. She sings with the rest of the student choir this Sunday at both services, but it is just one song and I don't think there is any solos. She really seems to like being a part of the choir. I can't wait to hear her sing!

T finally has his new basketball uniform in and is ready to play in next week's tournament, which is all the way in Duncanville over the course of two days. Basically, we get to spend 3 hours a day driving. In fact most of his games are at least an hour away. Ironically, the game that is closest to us is the only one they play in Oklahoma. The next couple of months we will be busy driving around for his games. Most of them are on Tuesday and Thursday nights so at least the weekends shouldn't be busy.

A is now finished with two classes and is doing really well. She is enjoying being part of the college ministry at church and it has helped her really come out of her shell. In fact, tonight she is going to a Halloween party at the church and is excited to go, even though that means driving at night! D isn't as excited about her enjoying her new found freedom since it means she takes his car all the time. I swear I am going to buy another no frills tiny car so that way they can both be happy. I really love our Mirage though. It only holds about 8 gallons of gas and can go 40+ miles per gallon. In the 2.5 years that we have had it, it has never given us any trouble and those two really drive it a lot.

Have A Great Halloween!

We went out to eat with my parents.

This time the hibachi fire didn't make T cry. It has been quite awhile since we have been. 😂

Since my Dad melted his "teeth" on some pizza, my mom won't let him wear his teeth when he eats anymore 😂

He was absolutely thrilled with the mandatory fashion show this morning!

She thinks I don't know it's dinner time.

L had to make several different kinds of salads for her family consumer science class. I love classes that mean I don't have to cook! 💕

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
