The Bunch See C in Bonham and Get Ready For Thanksgiving

 

My Boys- T really is a giant!

This year I am actually pretty happy with our game schedule. Last year I criss crossed Texas to get T to his games and this year pretty much every game (with the exception of State and Nationals) are with in 30 minutes of our house. Our first game was the farthest, but since it was in Bonham which allowed us to see C, I was happy to travel that way. Our game next week is in Slidell, which is about 10ish miles from my house! I am super excited about that one! I can't remember the last time I had to be somewhere and could leave only 15 minutes before I needed to be there. While we were in Bonham, C, H, and B not only came to watch T play, but also H's parents. I told T that everyone was coming to see him so he needed to play his best. And he did! He had one of his best games both offensively and defensively. He scored the most points and was at the top of the leader board. I was really proud of him and everyone was very impressed. T only played about half of the game though because the other team wasn't very good so our coach let the second string players play more since sometimes when we play harder teams they get almost zero playing times. T would have really scored a lot of points if he would have played most of the game. The second game we played this week didn't go nearly as well. The school 's freshman team was still playing football so we played their jv team. I have to say an extra year or two makes a HUGE difference. T is big, but their guy was HUGE! In fact most of their team was huge. We lost 30-51, but we made it hard enough for them that they played their starters most of the time. I think the boys were just really in their heads about playing a bigger team and just made silly mistakes that cost them. I have to say after 2 games in our stadium chairs, it does make all the difference in the world. The back rest is a HUGE help. Thanks again Aunt P! 

We love the chairs! A has managed to arrange her schedule so she can make most of T's games. She is such a good sister. ❤️

B is in 8th grade this year. Her birthday is next week so we celebrated with her while we were in Bonham.

T is just so crazy big!

T on top of the leader board!

T played a great game for everyone who came to watch.

L has her concert at the arboretum in a couple of weeks and since she also sings in both services that day too, it is going to be a REALLY long day. Basically, we will be doing church stuff for over 12 hours. I am super excited to get to see the arboretum all done up for Christmas though. I have been wanting to go for awhile now. I just wish our day wouldn't involve leaving at 7:20 am and getting back after 9:30pm! 

We took senior photos this week.


This one cracks me up. It looks like the most horrible photoshop job, but it's 100%  real! It looks like she is floating and has no hands 😂 You'll have to wait to see the ones she picked for her graduation invites.

A is still loving her job. She spends most of her days assisting in surgeries and has quite the story to tell about the different vets. Apparently, they all have VERY different tastes in music that they listen to during surgeries. Most of the vets like country, or relaxing music, but apparently one vet likes to blare heavy metal from the Iron Maiden station. She says he even bangs his head along with the music while he works.😂😂 I can't imagine my pet getting surgery with someone blaring heavy metal. I can't imagine A's headache after 4 hours of that!

My babies watching me work outside.

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...
