The Bunch Go To The Movies and L Paints A Picture

L worked a total of 16 hours on her picture.

This was our first real week off from school and we loved it. The weather cooled off a little and made being outside quite pleasant.  D has been quite busy with training season in full swing so it has mostly just been myself and the kids. A is crazy busy with school. She is trying to get far enough ahead to take the week of our vacation off. We are really excited about our first real trip in 3 years. I am a little nervous about getting the trailer through Houston traffic. I thought about going around, but 45 is the most direct route and we won't have to worry about tight turns and low bridges. Plus, we went through crazy traffic on our Chicago trip so we are just going to go and figure things out as we need to. We did take the one day off that D had and decided to do something fun. The kids are super into Downton Abbey so we went to see the new movie. It was a really great movie. D and I haven't really seen much of the show, but even we enjoyed it. Afterwards, we went to eat mexican food at a nearby restaurant. Everyone had such a good time. We don't do a lot fun stuff unless we are on a trip and it made everyone super excited for our upcoming trip when everyday is a fun day! Of course, after our fun movie and lunch we had to run errands because gas is expensive and we were in town.  Even better it was the grocery store we had to go to which is everyone's least favorite errand. We also went shopping for the items the kids will need for church camp. Almost as soon as we get back from our Galveston trip, the kids are off to camp for a week with their friends. They have a fun June planned. 

It was such a good day.

We were so hungry that we all filled up on chips and ended up taking home our actually meal.😂 

T was very intent on what special the waitress was talking about.


It was so great for us to have such a fun day.

L finished her painting. It turned out so good!

T enjoyed the Elvis memorial that the restaurant had.

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 Celebrate Christmas

  It's become tradition for T to wear a Santa hat on Christmas. Our Christmas was pretty low key. D was able to go in late so he was able to have Christmas with us before he went to work which was really nice. The kids and I packed up and moved Christmas brunch to C&H's house since he needs to stay close to home and we worried about the lack of emergency care both on the way to our house and while here. I made up a potato casserole ahead of time, brought stuff for garden scrambled eggs, and banana bread while H made a really good cranberry punch and some pigs in a blanket. I have to say for only 5 people we had a ton of food! In fact, T ate so much for brunch I don't think he really ate anything for the rest of the day. He also finished his very last hour of driving on his way back home! Driver's license here we come....next week! After the mess Axl made last time we left him in his crate, we reenforced the doors with zip ties. We also made sure to take him on a wal...

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...
