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 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 Valentine's Day And Grandma's Birthday

Obviously, now that my kids are all pretty much grown Valentine's isn't as big of deal to them. However, in keeping with tradition, not to mention the fact T still wanted out of school for the day, we still had a mini party. I told them that this year I wasn't going to get them any candy, normally I get balloons and special treat for each of them, but this year I just wasn't feeling it so I decided I would buy them all pizza (a treat since I rarely allow pizza) and I had some little Bundt cakes to celebrate with. They all said they were fine with that. L doesn't really do sweets, A doesn't like chocolate, and T doesn't like truffles, but they all like pizza. We took the day off and fortunately didn't have any basketball related stuff. No practice, no games, a rare no basketball day. We watched a movie, played some minute to win it games, and just basically enjoyed a nice low key day. I remember the old days when they were little and we would all make
