The Bunch Have A Well Deserved Break

The lovely cool weather made this trip especially nice.

I decided this summer that at least once every 6 weeks I was going to book us a stay at a State Park to just get away and unwind. It will only be for 2 nights, but I had started to feel like I made sure everyone else was able to do their stuff, but I had neglected making sure I had some things that I enjoyed. My happiest times have been spent camping with my family. We have so many wonderful memories. Now, we are down to just T being in school and I still enjoy going. This year I am making time for me. I told everyone that unless someone dies we aren't missing the scheduled trips. I don't care what game pops up or church function. We will miss it. Our first trip this fall was to Eisenhower State Park. We love this park and had a great time. L stayed home to do school with A and it was just D, T, and I. We hiked, walked, watched movies, laughed, and got fried pies. It was exactly what we needed. The girls tolerate the hiking, but T actually enjoys them as much as I do so we had fun. A thinks anything outdoors is horrible. She hates the smell of outside, which is ironic for a Vet Tech. I am sure she smells things way worse at work. L doesn't really complain about hiking she just doesn't love it like I do. She tolerates it, but wouldn't choose to do it. Our trip next month, I let T pick so he wants to go to Mineral Wells to explore the caverns. Due to road construction we haven't been there in awhile, but it is one of our favorites too so I look forward to it.

We have been so crazy busy and stressed this week that we all just need another break already, but unfortunately we still have a few weeks!

I hope everyone has a way better week than we have had.

This gas station was like a Buc-ees, but a little smaller. They had great fried pies.

We had so much fun 😊

Stopping to enjoy the view for a minute.

He is such a good boy❤️❤️❤️

And a little silly.😋

I thought this was super cool until he started eating my rug!! I had to chase him off.

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 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

The Bunch Celebrate Valentine's Day And Grandma's Birthday

Obviously, now that my kids are all pretty much grown Valentine's isn't as big of deal to them. However, in keeping with tradition, not to mention the fact T still wanted out of school for the day, we still had a mini party. I told them that this year I wasn't going to get them any candy, normally I get balloons and special treat for each of them, but this year I just wasn't feeling it so I decided I would buy them all pizza (a treat since I rarely allow pizza) and I had some little Bundt cakes to celebrate with. They all said they were fine with that. L doesn't really do sweets, A doesn't like chocolate, and T doesn't like truffles, but they all like pizza. We took the day off and fortunately didn't have any basketball related stuff. No practice, no games, a rare no basketball day. We watched a movie, played some minute to win it games, and just basically enjoyed a nice low key day. I remember the old days when they were little and we would all make
