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 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 Valentine's Day And Grandma's Birthday

  Obviously, now that my kids are all pretty much grown Valentine's isn't as big of deal to them. However, in keeping with tradition, not to mention the fact T still wanted out of school for the day, we still had a mini party.  I told them that this year I wasn't going to get them any candy, normally I get balloons and special treat for each of them, but this year I just wasn't feeling it so I decided I would buy them all pizza (a treat since I rarely allow pizza) and I had some little Bundt cakes to celebrate with. They all said they were fine with that. L doesn't really do sweets, A doesn't like chocolate, and T doesn't like truffles, but they all like pizza. We took the day off and fortunately didn't have any basketball related stuff. No practice, no games, a rare no basketball day. We watched a movie, played some minute to win it games, and just basically enjoyed a nice low key day.  I remember the old days when they were little and we would all make
