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!

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 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 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...
