The Bunch Head To The Rodeo

It was COLD 🥶

First off, this will be a short post since our wifi went out in the rain on Saturday afternoon and we won't have it fixed until at least Thursday so I am trying to do this all on my phone. The most important thing that went on this week was C continuing to heal. Back to back heart surgeries aren't easy and the healing is a little slower this time. He said that after about 5 days the pain is about half of what it was and the most painful part is sitting and standing, so basically lying down is good. His wife, H, says he is getting a little better everyday and that the best part is he has had NO episodes! Time will tell how well it works, but so far it seems to be very promising. After he gets use to it, he should be able to get back to a fairly normal life. He won't be doing marathons or anything, but I don't think he ever really planned on that anyway. I just hope he can live a long fairly normal painfree life now.

A, T, D, and I went to go see the county youth rodeo this weekend. We went a couple of years ago and had so much fun! We tried to find tickets last year to go, but never could. However, this year when we went to the local feed store to get animal feed, they had some! Unfortunately, it ended up coinciding with tons of rain and crazy cold weather. At least they moved it from the fair grounds to the Cowboy Church so the arena was covered. However, it was bone chilling cold and the metal bleachers didn't help. It still was a fun time, but it was definitely more enjoyable when we weren't freezing to death! I still plan to go again next year if we get tickets.

The arena was super nice.

The poles are fun to watch. Only a couple had a clean run and one was in the 12U group!

They had mutton busting, but the little tikes always fell off crying before I could even push the button on the camera. This was calf busting for the slightly older kids. This calf just went out and layed down! The kid stayed on the whole time though!😂

Poor kid got stepped on!

T finally had nice enough weather for my parents to come over for his Home Ec final. He has to plan, prepare, and execute a dinner party, though technically we do lunch. He did a good job!

We all enjoyed it!

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 Are Ready For Fall To Come Back

A and I at our favorite venue. We LOVE Bass Hall. I must admit that we are pretty tired of the crazy hot weather. We are ready to go back to the temps we had at the beginning of September. We played pickleball again this week, but D had required overtime to work so just T, A, and I went. We played singles and winner played the next person or A and I played together against T. We ended up in full sun and the humidity was a killer. We are happy that the cold front is coming through this week and the mornings should be in the 60s or low 70s with low humidity. It should be super nice to play in. T won every game we played, but A and I together definitely made him work harder! We still had a lot fun. We decided against our usual post game Braums. We all were hot and really just wanted to get home to the a/c. A won the lottery for tickets at Bass Hall to see the Life of Pi. We were up in the upper gallery, but that might have been beneficial for this show. The animal puppet...

The Bunch Have A Fun Week!

D had his awards banquet at a BBQ place we had been wanting to try for awhile. The food was really delicious and not greasy at all. We have had a lot of expenses thrown at us lately. We bought our new appliances , which were well planned for. However, after that we had 2 cars to get repaired, one of which was decided that it was too expensive and would make more sense to get a newer, stronger, younger one, I have to get some polyps removed, we owe uncle Sam money for the first time ever (thanks to the rule about the year a child turns 17 you lose the child tax credit even if the majority of the year they are 16), and lots of other little things. You know how it goes...when it rains it pours. Since we were unable to take the rv out because of the tow vehicle being unable to tow with a heavy load, more like us not wanting to risk trying, and since A had a day off work, we decided to go on an adventure to do something that none of us ever had done before. We started with...
