The Bunch Start Birthday Week

Happy birthday to me!

The first birthday up is mine. It was a little different this year. Don't misunderstand me, I was still 24, but L was super busy with school and A had to work. We decided to meet A for lunch at Schlotzchy's by her work. I hadn't eaten there in well over a decade and wanted to try it. It wasn't as good as I remembered, but it was really fun to see A in the middle of the day. She wanted to make it a monthly thing, which will be fun, but probably not feasible during basketball season. L did make time to go out to lunch with us and even made me a chocolate zucchini gluten free cake plus some biscotti.🥰 She has been so crazy swamped with school and I am afraid she is going to burn out. She seems to be getting good grades though and really loves her design art class. She has a ton of projects in it, but she really likes doing stuff like that so it's fun for her. It's just VERY time consuming. I also relaxed and watched a Hallmark movie. I love me some Hallmark! I know it's predictable and the ending will be happy.

A just started school and so far seems to be doing ok. Her school is just frustrating because they NEVER send the books out until AFTER school starts so she is missing her books for the first week every time, which is very frustrating!

T has had a cough for the past two weeks and is tired of it. The doctor doesn't want to do antibiotics because there isn't an infection. It's allergy related so he has been taking an allergy pill every day plus steroids and his nebulizer. At least the cough sounds productive now, but I need to put a sign on him that says "Allergies, NOT COVID." We've been getting some looks.😂 We also finally got into a pediatric cardiologist to do his echo stress test. Yay! We should know definitively afterwards whether his Pectus is causing any issues that need to be addressed or if it still is so mild that it shouldn't cause any issues. We had a tournament this past weekend with back to back intense games and he had no problems, but the coach also played everyone exactly half of each game (broken into alternating quarters), which when the games count and they really need him, he'll play most of the game. The coach told the other boys that T had the best move of the game, plus he also scored the first points of either team. He may also have led in scoring. I know he scored a lot, but since we don't keep stats on pre-season stuff I am not 100% sure. He was definitely in the top two if he wasn't the offensive leader.

My parents always take us out to dinner to celebrate the three of our birthdays.

My Daddy turns 80 this year and they still get around really well

A was super happy to meet us all for lunch.💗

T had a bright idea💡.....😂

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 Celebrate Christmas

It's become tradition for T to wear a Santa hat on Christmas. Our Christmas was pretty low key. D was able to go in late so he was able to have Christmas with us before he went to work which was really nice. The kids and I packed up and moved Christmas brunch to C&H's house since he needs to stay close to home and we worried about the lack of emergency care both on the way to our house and while here. I made up a potato casserole ahead of time, brought stuff for garden scrambled eggs, and banana bread while H made a really good cranberry punch and some pigs in a blanket. I have to say for only 5 people we had a ton of food! In fact, T ate so much for brunch I don't think he really ate anything for the rest of the day. He also finished his very last hour of driving on his way back home! Driver's license here we come....next week! After the mess Axl made last time we left him in his crate, we reenforced the doors with zip ties. We also made sure to take him on a wal...

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...
