The Bunch Have A Busy Week

 

H took this picture and I love it💕 My boys🥰

This week was interesting. We went to T's basketball meeting that talks about the season and practices, orders uniforms, and basically just covers what to expect for the year. We were thrown completely off guard when it turns out the evil man who groomed L had enrolled his daughter on one of the teams. I wish the DA office would move faster, but it is what it is I guess. D called recently to check on it and was told they are still reviewing the charges. Basically, we just told everybody the truth which is that he is looking at 2 counts of enticing a child and to be very careful around him. I am not sure what exactly they can do since he hasn't been formally charged yet, but at least everyone will be wary of him. In fact, several people said they won't let their child play if he is part of the team. At least if he is allowed to stay, we will only see them in passing at tournaments. He knew we were part of that organization and I am positive this is just him being a bully. We'll see what action, if any, they are able to take.

We also celebrated T's birthday with his friends this weekend. T wanted to go to the lake and have a cookout with his friends. We invited his whole basketball team, his friends from church, plus their parents and siblings. He had about 8 of his friends and their families come and we had a great time!  It was a lot busier than we anticipated, but we arrived about an hour before the party started and we were able to snag a cabana so we had a good amount of shade, plus the wind was pretty strong. Overall, it wasn't too bad. We had brought a bunch of camping chairs, a folding table, and some outdoor rugs. We set up a cozy little area to talk and the kids enjoyed swimming, playing volleyball, and throwing the football around. I brought a cooler full of Gatorades and another one with water. The Gatorade was completely gone by the end, but we had several waters left. D spent about an hour grilling all the hot dogs and hamburgers  we brought plus we had cupcakes for dessert. The wind made grilling a little hard, but D got it done. I brought chips too, but hardly anyone ate those. I am not sure if they just weren't seen or if no one eats chips anymore. They kept blowing away so I had to put them in the wagon and even though I told everyone I am not too sure they were listening. I hope they didn't think I was only serving a hamburger or a hot dog! We brought 24 of each and still have several left. I think the heat made everyone not as hungry. T had been looking forward to his party for awhile and I was so happy that so many kids showed up and that they had such a great time!!! 

The breeze and the shade made it ALMOST pleasant. I mean it still was like 98 after all.

H brought her fishing gear and tried fishing off the pier. I think it was just too busy though because the fish weren't biting.

C learned the hard way that Ray Roberts lake has more than one park! He ended up on the wrong end of the lake and had to back track. 😂

It was so windy we just pretended the candle was lit!😂

T and his best buds

What a wonderful day!

This week is my birthday and I think I am just going to relax and watch Hallmark, though T and I might venture to meet A for lunch during her break. We're also going to see Harry Potter in the theaters this week. Cinemark is showing them all in the theaters and A really wanted to experience it so her and T picked their favorite one and got tickets for us to see it. So far it's just us and 3 other people 😂.  I guess Harry Potter isn't quite what it use to be. A and I are counting down to our Girls trip! We are super excited!!!

The Bunch's Streak Of Bad Luck Continues

We made great time on the way there! It's amazing how leaving only 30 minutes later can help immensely with traffic. I wish all the shows started at 8 instead of 7:30.  What a week this was! We went to Bass Hall to see Back to the Future. It was ok. Definitely not the best play we have seen. The boys went with us and since the last two shows they joined us for were The Outsiders, which is one of, if not our most, favorite show ever, and A Christmas Story, which is in probably in the top 6, they were really not impressed. However, we still had a nice time doing something different together.  We love Bass Hall❤️ We had opening night tickets and got a GREAT deal! I went in this week and had my polyps removed plus they did a biopsy. I was more sore and for longer than I anticipated. Yes, the doctor said recovery was about 10 days, but I really only anticipated maybe 3-4. Boy, was I wrong! It's been 7 days now and by 10 I think I will be completely back to normal. Unfortunately, sh...

The Bunch Have A Fun Week!

D had his awards banquet at a BBQ place we had been wanting to try for awhile. The food was really delicious and not greasy at all.  We have had a lot of expenses thrown at us lately. We bought our new appliances , which were well planned for. However, after that we had 2 cars to get repaired, one of which   was decided that it was too expensive and would make more sense to get a newer, stronger, younger one, I have to get some polyps removed, we owe uncle Sam money for the first time ever (thanks to the rule about the year a child turns 17 you lose the child tax credit even if the majority of the year they are 16), and lots of other little things. You know how it goes...when it rains it pours. Since we were unable to take the rv out because of the tow vehicle being unable to tow with a heavy load, more like us not wanting to risk trying, and since A had a day off work, we decided to go on an adventure to do something that none of us ever had done before. We started with...

The Bunch Say Goodbye

  Aunt P picked a lovely cemetery. It was so beautiful and peaceful. For the past 8 years or so we have helped our Aunt P.  We have had numerous visits and conversations over the years, not to mention dinners and root beer floats. We have watched her physical health decline while her mental health was still sharp as tack. Sadly, the last month of her life she had started to have several moments where she didn't know what was going on. We had numerous conversations about her death with her and we are very happy in knowing that she finally has the relief she wanted. The past year in particular was VERY hard on her and she needed help more. D and I would visit almost every Wednesday and Saturday, plus whenever she called for help. It was nice to talk to her. She was witty, smart, knew the answer to just about anything, and did a wonderful job of making you feel special and loved. I once told her that I would really miss our chats when she was gone...I will. I really enjoyed getti...
