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 wasted 50 minutes and ended up in 3rd place because of that. He had a fun weekend with friends and I am happy he found a hobby he enjoys so much!

This was a nice recovery week for D. The 43 hours of overtime was quite draining on everyone. He still has more training, but those are more spread out and a little easier to handle. Overall, he has been doing well.

A and I went to go see Les Miserables at Bass Hall this weekend. I had never seen it before so I was unsure of what to expect, but it was FANTASTIC! Bass Hall is, of course, absolutely gorgeous, but the set designs were amazing! You could easily tell that this production had a big budget! Afterwards, us and the rest of Bass Hall went directly across the street to eat the Cheesecake Factory. This was my first experience with the Cheesecake Factory, but it was really good, and really expensive. I think they could tone down the menu a bit. There was so many choices and as someone who doesn't do well with excessive choices, it was a bit overwhelming. There is enough variety that we could go after every show and always try something new. 

He doesn't understand he can't lie up there like Maisy does.😂

My parents treated A and I to lunch at Chili's. We had a great visit!


On our way to Bass Hall. The drive is much easier than navigating Dallas.

The garage we parked in was mostly empty. Side note: Ft Worth no longer has free garages on the weekends.

The downtown area is really nice. It has almost a residential feel to it.

Our, what is becoming customary, pre show selfie with the marque.

Bass Hall is so gorgeous! And A looked beautiful in her fancy outfit ❤️

I was trying to get a selfie of the buildings in the background.😂 I need longer arms.

The architecture of Bass Hall is so lovely!

We were center mezzanine. The show was WONDERFUL!

The main part was the only part that had an understudy perform and he blew it out of the water! I cannot imagine the principal actor could have been any better. He gave a Broadway worthy performance.

She was so excited! She was able to get every main cast members autograph, including the phenomenal understudy!!

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...
