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 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...
