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 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...

The Bunch Have A Fantastic Week!

  Pickleball is always fun! Now that the weather has been nicer, albeit super windy, we have been trying to do our weekly pickleball match. Basically, this week whoever was playing with the wind won! We still have fun playing even when it is windy. In fact, playing in the wind probably makes us have more fun. The wind gusts sometimes pick the ball up and make it do some funny things, like getting the ball and pushing it back onto your side so you lose a point or blowing it three courts over! Luckily, we are usually the only ones there so it doesn't matter if we play across 4 courts. Afterwards, we usually go get some ice cream/ frozen yogurt and just enjoy our outing.  T went camping this weekend with his troop. They worked on orienteering, which I was super happy about since T needs to work on that something fierce, but unfortunately the boys in troop aren't much better than him at orienteering and the first guy oriented them upside down on the first one so they basically was...
