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 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 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 Have A Fantastic Week!

Pickleball is always fun! Now that the weather has been nicer, albeit super windy, we have been trying to do our weekly pickleball match. Basically, this week whoever was playing with the wind won! We still have fun playing even when it is windy. In fact, playing in the wind probably makes us have more fun. The wind gusts sometimes pick the ball up and make it do some funny things, like getting the ball and pushing it back onto your side so you lose a point or blowing it three courts over! Luckily, we are usually the only ones there so it doesn't matter if we play across 4 courts. Afterwards, we usually go get some ice cream/ frozen yogurt and just enjoy our outing. T went camping this weekend with his troop. They worked on orienteering, which I was super happy about since T needs to work on that something fierce, but unfortunately the boys in troop aren't much better than him at orienteering and the first guy oriented them upside down on the first one so they basically was...
