The Bunch Celebrate L' s Birthday And The Babies Move Out To The Coop


 This year L's birthday fell on a day where both D and A would have to be at work so T and I set off to celebrate her fun day with her. Our first stop was the Tanger outlet mall. Our Aunt had somehow found out that Lululemon had a temporary pop up store there. L had wanted a new pair of workout pants for her birthday and had received a gift card. This pop up store had everything 60% off! L was able to get 3 things for the same price she would have paid for one thing online! She also found some fun stuff at forever 21. The Tanger outlet mall was really nice. There was a lot of nice outdoor seating and the weather was just beautiful. We plan to go walk around there again on another nice day this summer. After we finished at the mall, L wanted to go to a couple other stores back in Denton and get some Chick fil A. She has become addicted to their market salad. Later in the evening, she wanted to go to her church group to visit with her friends. She had a fun day and even though my flare up made walking very painful, I was very careful not to whine about it or rush her, even if I really wanted to!

L not realizing what T drew on the board!😂

L opened her cards on the morning of her real birthday.

L had a great time finding deals.

I have been dealing with HORRIBLE allergies lately, like most of the rest of Texas residents. I have been taking both a pill and using a nasal spray and I am still having some problems. This hasn't stopped me from wanting to get out and enjoy the nice weather though and we had the opportunity to go to the Denton County Youth Rodeo. It was so much fun! All five of us went and everyone had a fantastic time, though the boys wished they would have remembered their jackets after the sun went down. T thought he might like to try to bull riding and steer wrestling. I let him know that if he did bull riding that he probably would not be able to play basketball. He would be too sore! The first bull went after both the horse and a clown. It was mean! I am so happy T would rather play ball. I could get on board with the steer wrestling. We'll see if he wants to pursue a rodeo career. It was a WAY different world than the sports world we're use to. It felt calmer and more fun. 

It was beautiful when we went, but could not imagine doing this in August!

It was something different than we normally do and a lot of fun.

Those horses must have jogged with those flags for about twenty minutes.

There were kids of all ages. Even 2 year olds did the mutton busting (sheep riding).

The roping is always my favorite. Unfortunately, it's always last.

It was a great night.

You bring a horse close enough and this happens.

D has been feeling better. He is back at work at his regular job and no longer on FMLA. After all his tests and doctor visits, we know he is super healthy and we assume he just has to get use to the new older version of him. That is always hard. I had to do it a couple of years ago when I was about his age. We'll play it by ear going forward and see how he does. So far he has been doing so much better than he was.

It feels like it has been 5 months NOT 5 weeks since we got the baby chicks. We have a suspicion that one is actually a rooster, but we're hoping we're wrong. However, one does not look like the rest. We should know for sure in the next couple of weeks.  The first two weeks the babies stayed in our laundry room. We then moved them out to the garage and today they moved out to the coop! They will stay in their own pen for another 10 weeks and then we can merge them with the bigger chickens. We just have to let them get bigger or the other girls will seriously injure them. I can't wait. It is so much easier when they are all together and not having to be separated.

Have a happy Easter everyone!

She will curl up and sleep on anything new or not where it normally goes. This was the basket of towels I washed to take back out to the RV.

We have been busy painting and adding the baby coop to the main chicken coop.

We still have to replace the roof thanks to the hail storm. We also have to make an auto claim for A's Car and one for the RV. Super stressful.

L painted little flowers on it.

The babies in their new outdoor coop. They are so big now!

It made me feel bad since they cried most of the day, but they will get use to it. They are like little old men and hate anything new.

T has been working out with me during off season and this pretty much sums it up!

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...
