The Bunch Work On Their Pickleball Skills And Take In A Volleyball Game


The Bunch are slowly but surely improving in their pickleball skills. We still haven't really been taught the rules of playing a game, but we have learned how to serve, hit, and volley. We played 2 at a time against the instructor last lesson and he completely destroyed us, but he also learned he should probably wear a cup when playing against newbies 😂.  Our goal was literally to just try and hit the ball back to him, it didn't matter if it was "in" or not. We all still played chase the ball! It's fun, but a lot harder than I thought. We're really glad we got lessons to learn how to play because it's very helpful on learning proper techniques. T found a good deal on Amazon for 4 paddles, balls, and a portable net so we plan to head into town sometimes to set up on the basketball court to practice. The hand eye coordination is by far the hardest part to learn! 

T has been working hard on finishing his driving hours so he can get his license. He has about 8 hours of nighttime driving to do and 3 hours of expressway driving before his driving requirements are completed. T drove to my parents house this week to get started on the expressway driving. He is by far the best driver so far. I think it's because he had the benefit of sitting through both of his sisters learning how to drive. There has been an improvement with each child. I am glad that he is the last one though. My poor heart couldn't take any more!

The kids played No Mercy Uno with Grandpa and A won! Next time we plan to go for longer so we can all play. The kids thought it was fun.


We also went to UNT volleyball game this week. We had a lot of fun and A even caught a shirt they threw, plus we ended up winning. 

It had been 6 years since our last game! I can't believe it was that long!

They were celebrating breast cancer awareness.

T at his guitar lesson. They were jammin this week!

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...

The Bunch Are Ready For Fall To Come Back

  A and I at our favorite venue. We LOVE Bass Hall. I must admit that we are pretty tired of the crazy hot weather. We are ready to go back to the temps we had at the beginning of September. We played pickleball again this week, but D had required overtime to work so just T, A, and I went. We played singles and winner played the next person or A and I played together against T.  We ended up in full sun and the humidity was a killer. We are happy that the cold front is coming through this week and the mornings should be in the 60s or low 70s with low humidity. It should be super nice to play in. T won every game we played, but A and I together definitely made him work harder! We still had a lot fun. We decided against our usual post game Braums. We all were hot and really just wanted to get home to the a/c.  A won the lottery for tickets at Bass Hall to see the Life of Pi. We were up in the upper gallery, but that might have been beneficial for this show. The animal puppet...

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...
