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 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 T's 16th Birthday

Three Birthdays in 10 days I cannot believe the baby of the family is 16! Actually, I can't believe they are all as old as they are. C will be 31 this year, A turns 21 tomorrow, L is 18, and little baby T is 16! It has been a wonderful ride and I was very blessed to be able to spend 24/7 with my kids while they were little. I have wonderful memories of all the times we shared. While the last year has been the hardest of our lives, it's been nice to see us all rally together and we have become even more appreciative of each other. T will just randomly stop to hug us and tell us he loves us.🥰 A is so very helpful and thoughtful and C is great about calling and keeping us updated on how they're doing way out in Bonham. I love my kids! We have decided to give pickleball a try as a family. Considering we've never even watched a game, our first lesson should be interesting! He has gotten so good at guitar! My parents celebrate our birthdays every year by treating us to di...
