Basketball Season is Over!!!

There was another tall kid on T's team and it is always funny to look at the size difference in some of the teams. Believe it or not, some teams make even T look small, which I assure you is no small feat. He is gigantic.

T had such a great time playing on his select basketball team. It was more of a time and financial commitment than I had anticipated. We really enjoyed watching him be a star point making player, but all the criss crossing across the state was a lot and tournaments were just crazy. We are all really looking forward to some down time to just relax and get a few things done around the house. T says he misses basketball already, but we need a break! They did place 3rd at regionals, which was fantastic. I still can't talk because I yell a lot at tournaments and it takes a few days to get my voice back. Next year, the team will be old enough to go to Nationals in Springfield, Missouri. I can't wait, not because I want to go to another tournament, but because we LOVE the Branson area of Missouri and we plan to turn his tournament into a vacation too.

L is excited about her upcoming 16th birthday. We are going to take her friends bowling and then she is having a sleepover. They should have fun. Me on the other hand will probably be super tired!

A is doing well in college and is slowly coming out of her shell and starting to get out more. She even went to a party last week that her church group had.

D and I attended a friend of his wedding and are just enjoying some down time at the house. It is really nice not rushing around all the time. I know I will probably miss it after T graduates in 4 years, but for right now the down time is amazing!

Noelle can open the cabinet enough to squeeze inside, but then the door shuts and she can't get out. Sometime later she starts crying for us to find her and let her out. It is NOT our most favorite game.

We have had crazy amounts of birds. I just hope they eat a bunch of bugs.

We celebrated my mom's birthday. My Dad is almost 80 and has been having a hard time getting around lately and it was nice to give her a little break and celebrate.

My Dad did use a couple of canes to get up and visit with us for awhile while we were there.

We had a nice time at the wedding and we were one of the longest married couples there!

Serving breakfast at a wedding is genius! Not only is it less expensive, but it had tons of options for people with allergies.

Of course, D loved the donuts!

T's basketball goal finally blew down in the latest storm. We are going to get him another one this week. He can't go very long without a goal to play on.

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...
