The Bunch Get Ready For Orlando

 

Who says you can't be sick in bed and play guitar?😂

This week was all about getting things together so the boys have a fairly easy time taking care of things while we're gone. Unfortunately, the farrier decided to change his day to next week so the boys will have to deal with that on their own. D is pretty much never here when he comes and Gwen tends to be shy around him so it should be interesting. The good news is T is always my helper so he knows how we usually do it and the horses are familiar with his role....this could be interesting. Good luck boys! 🤞 Our farrier is so good though it shouldn't be too bad....I hope! 

I left super detailed instructions about everything literally plastered all over the fridge. I'm not kidding. There is 7 pages. 

T was disappointed because he is starting to get sick and he doesn't want to ruin his "fun week". I am glad he is so excited to stay home with D. I think he plans on a lot of guitar playing, a few movies, eating out, playing basketball, and working out. They should have a lot of fun between taking care of the animals. Speaking of which, it has now been a year since we had to have the vet come out on a holiday weekend, from Oklahoma, to euthanize our old horse. After her miraculous recovery 10 minutes before the vet arrived ( and our $600 fee) she has had absolutely no issues. She has slowed down a lot, but she's an old horse in her 20's so it's not unexpected. The little donkey has more issues than she does. I really hope she isn't like the horse down the street who is about to turn 35. Their level of involvement in keeping that horse alive is a full time job. I have to say I am pretty sure I would just decide to have her put down before I had that much extra expense and time taken to facilitate her life. It is weird now that we have to worry about keeping her weight up instead of worrying about her eating too much. It's super hard to try to keep the donkey on a diet, but give the horse more food. Basically, the horse is a good weight and the donkey is obese. It is what it is.

A and I are so excited about the trip! We have researched everything we want to do and places we want to eat at. A is packing all 3 of her Harry Potter wands. She is hoping at least one of them still has a working sensor in it to use at the park. With a 5 day pass, we should have plenty of time to do everything we want without feeling rushed. The parks all close in the early evening so we will have plenty of time each night to relax and unwind plus plan our next day. We can't wait!!

T has his Home EC class this semester and  this week's lab was making yeast bread. He chose a cinnamon sugar bread to make and it was yummy! 😋 

This is the cats favorite nap spot. Yes, it's just a plastic bowl, but they take turns sleeping in it. They're weird 🤷

How is MiMi only 10 months!?! It feels like we have had her FOREVER!

They are so helpful! T's chair broke so D had to glue it back together and our little helpers were right there fixing it with us. Good news is it does appear to be good as new now.

T wanted a horsey ride like he had when he was younger....a lot younger! 🤣

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...
