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 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 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 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...
