The Bunch Are Living Life

A and I keep busy during guitar lessons by shopping and exploring.

So far the fall semester has been great! Even though I decided to just teach T Geometry instead of subbing it out like I did for the girls, school hasn't been too bad and T is usually done by about 12:30 pm, which leaves us a lot of extra time for some fun stuff. T is really excited that pickleball is something that we all enjoy so he tries to get us to come play with him pretty much everyday. He and I even rented a court last week to practice on. We were the only ones there which was nice since our balls tend to "travel" over to the adjoining courts while we learn proper techniques for playing, i.e. we pretty much suck. 😂 

She was going to sit in it, but it turns out there is an upper weight limit 😂

We had the entire place to ourselves. We had a super fun time, though we are definitely ready for more fall like temps. It was hot!

T sets up a portable net in the driveway to entice us to play with him.🥰

A's work is having a pumpkin contest this week so she was busy making her pumpkin this weekend. They will leave them all out this week for the customers to vote on whose they like the best. A decided to make hers a candy apple. She got the idea from Pinterest. I think it turned out really cute. T and I are going to carve our pumpkins so we will wait until Halloween day to do that so the pumpkins won't go bad before I can cook them down. They will end up being Thanksgiving pies and pumpkin bread. Yummy!!

I think her candy apple turned out really cute 😁

 I still haven't decided where we are going to go for our next adventure. We have been busy doing some maintenance so that the RV will be ready to go. Rv's are like houses, something ALWAYS needs fixing!

 I can't believe this year is almost over!  We love the holidays and are looking forward to our normal traditions plus adding few extra this year. 

MiMi was very interested in GiGi.

MiMi loved having new people over to see her! Why else would GiGi be here? 😂

She crawled inside the towels right after I dropped them on the couch. Noelle loves warm laundry!

Actually they both love warm laundry. My little helpers💗.

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 Celebrate Christmas

  It's become tradition for T to wear a Santa hat on Christmas. Our Christmas was pretty low key. D was able to go in late so he was able to have Christmas with us before he went to work which was really nice. The kids and I packed up and moved Christmas brunch to C&H's house since he needs to stay close to home and we worried about the lack of emergency care both on the way to our house and while here. I made up a potato casserole ahead of time, brought stuff for garden scrambled eggs, and banana bread while H made a really good cranberry punch and some pigs in a blanket. I have to say for only 5 people we had a ton of food! In fact, T ate so much for brunch I don't think he really ate anything for the rest of the day. He also finished his very last hour of driving on his way back home! Driver's license here we come....next week! After the mess Axl made last time we left him in his crate, we reenforced the doors with zip ties. We also made sure to take him on a wal...

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...
