The Bunch Have A Basketball Filled Week

The Champs

After last week's basketball craziness, I had been looking forward to a slower week this week, but unfortunately it did not happen. Instead of two practices and one game this week, our coach had an opportunity to enter our freshman team into a junior varsity tournament last minute. Another team had to drop out and there was an opening. Not only would we be playing up, but also this tournament was only one day meaning you played three games pretty much back to back. Tournaments like these I hate because it isn't based on a team's skills. Basically, the winner is just whose team has the most athletic endurance to play at such a high level for such an extended period of time. An added bonus was that we also had a game the night before AND would have to wake up by 4:30am to leave the house by 6:00am, in order to drive the TWO hours there. Hats off to our boys though. We struggled probably a little more than we normally do, but they pulled energy from somewhere and not only played all four games, but won first place at the tournament. This included beating our own jv team! I would hate to be at practice today with the JV coach after his team lost to freshman players! I feel there will be a lot of running in their future.

We also had tickets to go see the NBA G league Texas Legends in Frisco. Apparently, the G league is the NBA minor league. I had no idea before we were given tickets that there was such a thing. We took C, T, and one of T's friends and had such a fun time! The boys even got to meet the players after the game and get pictures and autographs. It was the highlight for them. T even wants to print the picture out to hang in his room.

When we first arrived, there was a crazy amount of people. It turns out most of them were going to see the Dallas Stars game that was in the same building at the same time.

There was a lot less people in our stadium, though it was still busier than D had thought it would be.

Our tickets were almost on the floor, which would have been super cool if we hadn't been behind everyone. Free is free though I guess. A even saw us on TV since we were right by the goal.

The boys had a blast. My dad was suppose to come and it was an all boys day, but didn't feel up to it and I was super glad he decided that because it would have been really hard to navigate with him. There were so many stairs.

T's favorite pic! He said he felt the guy straighten up to take the pic!😂 This was the nicest guy. I saw him stop on his way in at half time to give kids autographs and high fives.

He was sitting on a stool. He was nice too, but didn't seem as happy to be there as the other one was.

This week is just suppose to be two practices. I REALLY hope it stays that way. We need a little break from all the running around!

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 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 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...
