The Bunch Had to Cancel Their Camping Trip Last Minute

6 years later and I FINALLY get ONE apple😂

We have been crazy busy and on an emotional rollercoaster ride this past month, but the last week has probably been the most difficult of all of our lives. We found L. I can't go into details because it might compromise the investigation, but a hospital called us when they became suspicious of the circumstances of her arrival. She is currently safe and in an inpatient mental health facility for the foreseeable future. I can say she was not taking illegal drugs or suicidal. She is there for other reasons. I cannot divulge anymore than that until everything has played out. 

T has been busy trying to figure out what to carve into our pumpkins this year. He wants us to all carve the Simpsons. I think it might be neat so we'll probably do that. I can't wait to show you guys our finished product, but we won't actually do it until closer to Halloween. T is also working on perfecting his guitar music for his Christmas concert. All the kids were required to learn an instrument in highschool. A did violin, L did piano, and T picked guitar. Their second year after learning, they have to do a Christmas concert for family of at least 2 songs. I think T has picked 5 songs so far for his concert! He really loves that he knows how to play guitar and he's really good! 

A has a wedding this weekend to go to that is for one of her close friends. It is crazy that her friends are starting to get married. I feel so old. She has been doing well. Apparently, her work has been crazy busy and they have been short staffed so she has been a little stressed out, but she still really loves her work and I am so happy that she lucked out in finding such a great place to work that treats their employees wonderfully. I have told her that most places don't treat the employees as well as they do there. They even make up gift baskets to give each employee on their yearly anniversaries of working there. They also buy sonic Happy hour drinks for every employee everyday, buy a treat for the office to celebrate birthdays ( birthday person gets to pick the treat), and never make anyone drive in weather they feel uncomfortable in. There is many more things they do too, but these are just a few of the special ones. It is a really great place.

D is home again this year on FMLA. He had to take it to deal with all the current craziness we have. He was constantly having to leave work early to deal with serious stuff that I cannot deal with especially with T having to be with me. Both our kids ( yes even the 20 year old) are TERRIFIED to be at the house by themselves now so we don't leave them alone. I am installing several cameras around the perimeter of the house and inside the house so hopefully that will help them feel safer.  We may end up moving if we can't feel safe in our own home anymore. I love it here, but this craziness has ruined the feeling of our house being a relaxing safe haven. 

I hope everyone's week goes better than ours. I would say it can't get any worse, but I keep getting proved wrong so please understand if my blog posts are more sporadic for a bit.

The bunny honestly thinks it's our pet! He even gets in the coop with Murdoch! 

She cannot stand it when anything new is somewhere she knows it doesn't belong!

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
