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 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...
