The Bunch Celebrate C's Birthday and Kick Off Basketball Season

The weeks are beginning to go by faster now, especially with basketball season being in full swing. We managed to go up to C's new house in Bonham to celebrate his birthday. His house is about 77 miles east of our house. The drive is pretty nice and it only takes about an hour to get there. We went to a chinese place called The Bamboo House. It was probably the best place I have ever had Chinese food. I liked it better than Mr. Chopsticks in Denton and I really love Mr Chopsticks. C showed off his new house to us now that they are all unpacked and we visited for a bit. T has a game out that way in a couple of weeks so he plans to come watch T play.

Their house is super cute! It is small at only 1200 sq ft, but they designed it really well.

It was built this year and is an open floor plan.

It is so light and bright looking. It makes it feel bigger than it is.

Both bathrooms have dual vanities.

All three bedrooms are a good size.

Since they both work from home, they converted one bedroom into a home office, which apparently doesn't work when they both have phone calls to take. 😂

B likes her new school and as a bonus her Grandma is the school nurse there.

T had his first basketball game of the season this week and unfortunately, they lost. However, they lost in overtime in a very tight game. We were playing our historically toughest competitor and everyone played really well. T definitely did not get as much playing time as he normally does, but he is a starter. I think the coach is still really freaked out by the little episode a couple of weeks ago and is just really trying to make sure that T has no chance of reaching that point again. He only played about a third of the game, but made 2 baskets. All the kids pretty evenly split the baskets. T might not be offensive player of the year this year since everyone scores about the same, at least it won't be the blow out it was last year when T scored more than twice as many points as the next player. On the plus side, if T has a bad night it also won't mean that the team automatically loses.

T played well. Fun fact: the new white shorts are see through and it turns out T does not own white underwear! 😂 We'll fix that issue before next week's tournament.

He still has only lost a tip off once. Unfortunately, both times this game the other team recovered the ball.

Even though he'll deny it, this WAS the picture that made my husband shave off his beard! He said he thought he was smiling. I told him he needs to really exaggerate his emotions with a beard. On a side note, we went to see Voddie Baucham. Watch some of his stuff on you tube. He was great!

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...
