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 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 Christmas

  It's become tradition for T to wear a Santa hat on Christmas. Our Christmas was pretty low key. D was able to go in late so he was able to have Christmas with us before he went to work which was really nice. The kids and I packed up and moved Christmas brunch to C&H's house since he needs to stay close to home and we worried about the lack of emergency care both on the way to our house and while here. I made up a potato casserole ahead of time, brought stuff for garden scrambled eggs, and banana bread while H made a really good cranberry punch and some pigs in a blanket. I have to say for only 5 people we had a ton of food! In fact, T ate so much for brunch I don't think he really ate anything for the rest of the day. He also finished his very last hour of driving on his way back home! Driver's license here we come....next week! After the mess Axl made last time we left him in his crate, we reenforced the doors with zip ties. We also made sure to take him on a wal...

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...
