The Bunch Have A Long Week

 

He is happy that the hair dresser got his mullet how he wanted it. 

This week, and probably the next two, has been a little crazy. Police Officers have CRAZY amounts of training to do EVERY year, which is why it is SO ANNOYING when you hear "oh, the police need more training". No, they don't. More than likely the training that is being whined about is already being done. They just sound ignorant for suggesting it. It just shows that very little research goes into seeing what training is already required. Anyways, thanks to D being ill the first part of the year, he has tons of training to make up. I am not kidding when I say they have at least 2 weeks worth of all day training that they do every year! Thank God we only have 5 years left before he can retire! Basically, the next few weeks D doesn't get a day off. He has to go in on his off days to train all day. 

My Aunt gave me a cookbook for Christmas by Brenda Gantt and we have been busy while D is at work trying different recipes. She makes making homemade buttermilk biscuits look so easy that I actually tried it. And guess what? It was pretty easy and super yummy! We also tried her pineapple cake recipe ( we made it gluten free to balance out the biscuits 😂). The cake was really good, but the biscuits were phenomenal! Our Aunt just sent us her newest cookbook and we have several recipes we are going to try. I just like that most of the stuff she makes is not only good, but also fairly easy. 

These were really good. Brenda also uses the same dough for fried pies and dumplings. 

It made a lot of cake, but it was really good and easy to make.

L has her graduation ceremony this weekend and also the church will recognize seniors during the service and then will cater a lunch for them. We are planning her actual graduation celebration for late June. We are going to invite our family and friends to come celebrate with us over BBQ and fireworks ( we have a ton since last year over July 4th we had Covid). 

My almost adult and actual adult children begged me to stop and let them play at the park. This park was a super dangerous park! It was designed for older children/adults!

Unfortunately, she really hit her head hard on the pole at the top so we are watching for signs of a concussion. She is so accident prone. 

They all had blast and want to come back.

The Zipline is always a favorite!

I literally went back to get a sock I dropped and came back and Noelle was like this. I am shocked the basket didn't tip over!
