The Bunch Get In The Christmas Spirit And Go To ANOTHER Tournament

 

My son🤷💓

Last week with the down time was nice. We decorated the inside and outside for Christmas, got the majority of our holiday shopping done, and had time to plan some fun things for the upcoming weeks. We had kind of a crazy week with 5 basketball games, but luckily every single one of them was in my hometown, though a wreck on one of the days did make it take 30 minutes to go 10 miles. Since everything was pretty crazy around T's birthday we never really took him out with a friend to celebrate so this week we took him and a friend to the trampoline park, out for lunch, and then they just hung out at our house and played video games. T had such a good time! He doesn't have very many times a year that he is able to just hang out with friends, and basketball stuff DOESN'T count. These days everyone has so much going on that it is almost impossible to schedule time to just hang out with friends. In fact, T had to have fun during the day because we had basketball practice in the evening. This week we just have 2 practices and one game and I am so looking forward to the downtime. I need to get Christmas stuff finished.

A brought a week old kitten home for us to help take care of. The kitten was part of a litter that a mommy cat under observation at A's work had. Unfortunately, the mommy cat ate all the babies but this one. All the vet techs and veterinarians have been taking turns taking care of it. Not only does it have to eat every two hours morning and night, but it also needs to stay warm on its heating pad and must have a warm cotton ball rubbed on it in order to pee and poop. I never knew this, but for the first three weeks of a kitten's life the mommy licks it for it to use the bathroom. We use a warm cotton ball before we feed it. Even with 3 of us taking turns feeding it, after 2 nights we were exhausted and ready for the next person to get their turn! However, it came here weighing 6.5 ounces and was returned to work a day and a half later weighing 8.5 ounces! What can I say, we show our pets love, love, love! We had the past three nights baby free so the next two nights it's  our turn again. L is excited. She loves bottle feeding it though not necessarily the getting up throughout the night.

My husband found some beautiful flowers at the store and surprised me with them.

Me at 2am trying to breath through a cat, but not wanting to move her because she is so cute.

If I didn't know it was a kitten I probably wouldn't be completely sure what it was!

The picture we wanted.

How most of them turned out 😂

We had fun playing at the park.

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 T's 16th Birthday

  Three Birthdays in 10 days I cannot believe the baby of the family is 16! Actually, I can't believe they are all as old as they are. C will be 31 this year, A turns 21 tomorrow, L is 18, and little baby T is 16! It has been a wonderful ride and I was very blessed to be able to spend 24/7 with my kids while they were little. I have wonderful memories of all the times we shared. While the last year has been the hardest of our lives, it's been nice to see us all rally together and we have become even more appreciative of each other. T will just randomly stop to hug us and tell us he loves us.🥰 A is so very helpful and thoughtful and C is great about calling and keeping us updated on how they're doing way out in Bonham. I love my kids! We have decided to give pickleball a try as a family. Considering we've never even watched a game, our first lesson should be interesting!  He has gotten so good at guitar! My parents celebrate our birthdays every year by treating us to di...
