The Bunch Celebrate H's Birthday

 

My goofballs in the background ❤️

We got together this weekend at my mom's house to celebrate H's birthday. We see my parents often, but since C started having his heart issues he hasn't been able to go visit them and  he lives too far for my parents to go visit him. In fact, I question whether or not my house is too far for my parents to drive to  and C lives almost twice as far! It was really nice getting to see everyone. We did things simple. We got some pizza, some cake, and just spent our time visiting with each other. D, T, and I are going camping this week so we'll see C again soon. He is actually moving to a new house so we're going to help him move somethings. We don't want him over exerting himself. This trip we're going to work on Axl being left alone in the trailer. Well, without us. Maisy will still be there and we'll be only 10 minutes away helping C and will make trips back to check on them quite frequently.

With all the rain we have been getting, we have been working non-stop outside on nice days to get stuff done. The gardens are starting to be over taken by weeds and the grass is getting crazy tall, which is frustrating because Maisy won't stand in grass that's tall to go to the bathroom. She only likes freshly mowed grass. It's so annoying! 

We're going to go camping a lot this summer, which is fine with me. T needs to spend 40 nights in a tent over the next year to earn some patch he wants. D and I enjoy the climate controlled rv while watching tv, and T roughs it next to us in his tent. He may regret starting this in the summer. Hopefully,we can go through July and it won't be too bad, then take off August and start camping again in late September. 

A has been doing great. She only has to work on one Saturday every month now instead of two. She was the on call tech on Memorial Day and had to go in 3 separate times, but got $75 for each call. She has a lot more responsibilities so she doesn't usually get off exactly at 5pm anymore, but they have let her keep her part time schedule so she always has the next day off to recuperate.

All in all, this summer is off to a great start! We're going to start the fun jar next week. It's always the highlight of our summer, though A is super excited to see the Lion King at Fair Park this summer. We got really good seats. I only make everyone (the boys) go to 2 musicals a year. This year it's the Lion King and A Christmas Story ( three if you count Come from Away in January, but I bought those tickets last year).

We had a great time with everybody.

My parents . They get around so well for their age. I hope D and I are as mobile as they are when we are their age.

Happy Birthday H! Thank you for taking such great care of C this year.

We went off for a date day, which really just consisted of errands and lunch, but it was fun getting out by ourselves.

I didn't realize that D had never eaten at this Mexican place that the kids and I have eaten at multiple times in Gainesville. It is really good! It might be better than the Mexican restaurant by our house.
