The Bunch Head To The Ft Worth Protests And Have A Happy Father's Day

 

Our tradition of a picture next to the marque.

Full disclosure, we actually didn't mean to be at the Fort Worth Protests it just kind of happened. A has had tickets to see Moulin Rouge at Bass Hall for several weeks. Everything just worked itself out. We learned of the planned protests only a couple of days beforehand. By then everything was already in place for us to be in downtown Ft Worth. A had a ticket for her show and T and I had tickets one block over to see How to Train Your Dragon in 3D at the same time. The protest was planned to be at the park on Seventh Street and we were on 3rd. Pretty close, but hopefully there would be no overlap. However, LOLA (our nickname for Google Maps), "helped" with accidentally sending us up Seventh Street exactly halfway through the protests. Luckily for us, it really was nothing. We saw a few people with signs and passed a pick up that advertised it had stuff to make your own sign if you wanted (I can guarantee my sign would not have gone over well with the protesters). The only thing that was unusual during this downtown outing compared to all our others was the presence of bomb dogs. We passed three and multiple officers in tactical gear were patrolling the streets. The theater had extra tight security to get inside and had extra uniformed officers outside. The movie theater.....not so much. It was business as usual.😂 The media said about 1500 showed up,  unless most left halfway through the rally I dispute that number. A enjoyed her show and left with almost every cast members' signature. T and I enjoyed relaxing in a nice comfortable recliner in the air conditioning while watching our movie, which if you liked the cartoon the live action one is fantastic! We love it when A goes to Bass Hall. There is so much more to do for us down there instead of just going to the museum....though Layla's pizza cannot be beat if we have to go to Dallas!

T is such a giant!

She got almost every cast member's signature.

I thought our movie was going to be empty, but it filled up after all the previews.

D had a very relaxing Father's Day. We are busy most of the time so he just wanted to go to church and watch a movie. As we are all aware of, Axl is absolutely terrified of rain, not just thunder and lightning, but any drizzle of moisture that may fall from the sky. Since this has been a very stormy spring not only are we crazy tired from our nighttime babysitting, but someone also has to stay home with him pretty much all the time. I missed the last 3 weeks of church to babysit so T stayed home this week with A, and I went to church with D. When we got home we watched Homestead Rescue. It's our new family show that we watch whenever we are all together. We really like it and as a surprise for Father's Day A got one of the stars that is D's favorite to send D a personalized video message! It was so cool! Unfortunately, A thought Father's Day was the weekend before so she had to keep quiet about the video for a whole week! It is crazy hard to keep something that epic quiet for an entire week. 

I hope everyone has a great weekend and Happy Father's Day!

T was super excited about "pie day". We put the leftover pie from Mother's Day in the deep freeze to finish on Father's Day. T's literally been counting down the days to pie day.😂

D watching his personalized video from Matt Raney!

C is relishing lake life.

H is enjoying it as well.

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...
