The Bunch Enjoy The Beautiful Weather And Have A Bar Recital


The insane cold snap is now just a distant memory. The weather has been absolutely perfect! We have been outside and getting some things done. Basically, we're just enjoying the great weather. We know before too long that summer will be here and we'll have to deal with all the crazy hot weather.

    We have not made it out to look at the house we're interested in seeing yet. D was super sick the week we were going to go see it and then the crazy cold snap came and we needed to stay close to the animals plus we didn't feel like getting out when it was that cold and windy. Now, training season has started for D and over the next couple of weeks, he will only have Sundays off. T and I will probably go drive by and look at the outside of the property to see if it's flat enough for what we want to do with it and if it is then D and I will make an appointment to go check it out. We're getting some projects done in the meantime that will help get the house ready to sell if we decide to go that route or if we decide to wait then we're getting projects done that we've needed to do. Either way it's a win!

T had his recital this week. Sanger maybe under an insane amount of construction and growth right now that is taking away our small town feel, but I never feel as backwoods country as I do than when the music school has its recital in a bar! All these little kids show up with their families to either play on the stage at the bar or watch their older siblings play. There were 37 kids that performed at this recital. It took almost 3 hours! The bar we played at last time had gone out of business (I can only imagine it was because of the lack of food. Noone wants a bag of chips and some candy on a night out!) and the new bar in town hosted us. This place was so great! The space was about 3x bigger plus they also had a pizzeria and ice cream parlor! They apparently didn't realize how many people this recital would bring and were VERY  overwhelmed! Our pizza took over an hour to be made, but since T is the most advanced student and was closing the show out, we had plenty of time to wait. We may even go out to this place when there's not a recital. I really want to try the ice cream! The bar brews most of their own beers, which if we liked beer would be super cool, but they also have Artisan root beer. We are huge root beer connoisseurs and LOVED the root beer! It was super yummy! T finally took the stage around 8:30 pm and did great! He played lead guitar while one of the instructors played drums and his other instructor played back up guitar and sang. The song he played was Bon Jovi's You Give Love A Bad Name. The whole song was around 4 minutes, but this site only lets me upload one minute videos so I shortened it to just include the main solo he played.

The bar was packed with families, but still roomy. It was nice.

Somehow we managed to find a couple of seats at the bar directly in front of the stage.

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...
