The Bunch are Beach Ready!

 

L and T have had fun playing Mario Bros together on the WiiU.

We have packed trailer wheel bearings, hired a farm sitter, food prepped, re-caulked the shower(plus many more updates) and planned our activities. We are excited and ready to have a great vacation. It has been so long since we have been on an extended trip so I am sure that we will forget something, but I think we are ready. We are leaving at 6 am to hopefully avoid the worst part of Dallas traffic and should arrive in Houston before rush hour....I hope. The kids plan to go explore the resort as soon as we arrive while D and I set up. This might be the last time we all get to vacation together since A will start working soon and be busy with her last two years of college. I am happy to see everyone thriving and growing up, but it is also bitter sweet. The kids have literally been my life for 24/365. It is hard to picture them not being there all the time. It took me a year to quit putting six plates on the table when C moved out, though thanks to the insane housing costs my kids will most likely remain in our house for forever. Our neighbor's house just sold for over half a million dollars. It is crazy! I am not looking forward to next year's tax bill! Between groceries, housing costs, and gas, I am not sure how any of this generation's young people will be able to make it on their own. 

Have a great week everyone and I will have lots of fun pics for next week!

She thinks she is a dog so she sleeps on the floor like her dog sister does.

Maisy is 12 now and has trouble getting around, but she still enjoys her walks and napping with her mommy.




T has some fantastic onions growing!

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...
