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 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...
