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 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...
