The Bunch Brace For The Crazy Cold And Celebrate Grandma's Birthday

Happy Birthday Grandma!
 

 While T was away having a fabulous time on his youth group trip, D and I prepared the animals for the extra cold. It was only going to be for a couple of days so I really didn't want to move the chickens into the garage. We added more tarps to the chicken coop so that even the south facing side was covered, which we normally don't do. I also put a heat light out there, just in case the girls started getting way too cold. I didn't want to use it unless it was an emergency for two reasons: 1.) I don't want them to acclimate to the warmth and then have the electricity go out and then they are extra cold and 2.) it smells a little weird and I don't want to burn my house down! The tarps made the coop so dark that I put a night light out there and ran it 24/7 for 3 days. The tarps worked great and the girls were happy just clucking around in there. We put extra chips in the horse barn and came out every 4 hours to make sure nobody's waters were frozen. I do have to say getting up at 6:30 am to break up ice cold waters and feed everyone in 9 degree weather with 25 mph winds, WAS NOT FUN! In fact, it was pretty miserable, but you do what you have to do when something relies on you to keep it alive. At least it is only for a couple of days. Axl loves the cold weather! He ran around as fast as he could and had the biggest smile.😁

T and I went to visit Grandma for her 76 birthday and had a great time! We brought her some burgers and made her some banana bread. T and Grandpa played some very intense checkers! T says beating Grandpa at checkers is on his bucket list.😂

We're bringing a timer next time!

It's always a good day when you spend it with the people you love❤️

Axl's weekend with T gone. He missed him!

He curled up beside T's chair.🥺

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 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 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...
