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 to see she was feeling well enough to visit with us for a bit. T dropped us off on his way to his class and picked us up after he was finished. It was a full circle moment. I didn't think we were at the age where our kids had to drive us around.😂

We also went to go visit my in laws, who we hadn't seen in months. We helped them get a few things done and then enjoyed a delicious lunch and had an enjoyable visit. D has more training again. He has had a lot of training this summer and it seems to always fall in the middle of his days off so it's not only hard for us to get things done at our house, but also hard to plan some fun family things and to go visit our families . T has been my helper in getting some things done so we can take it off D's plate. In fact, he helped me get the back porch painted this weekend. We only have 2 more areas to paint and then the whole house will have been painted....only 3 years after we started! I have a few touch ups to do where the tape pulled up the paint a little bit (and yes we did use painters tape), but I like it so much better. We repainted it a gray color and I like that so much better than white. The two things I have have hated since moving in is 1.) the carpet and 2.) the white paint. White just gets dirty and gross so easily, especially living in the country. I also hated the dining room chandelier, but we already  replaced that. It was too low and we hit our heads, plus it was crazy hard to clean. Now, just getting rid of the carpet is left. Hopefully, within the next year or so we can get that done.

Pop pop got some good news about his health. He is now down to taking just one pill a day, plus his diabetes medicine. Way to go!!

Gigi is doing well too. She didn't cough once while we were there. She cut up fresh veggies from the garden for lunch and Pop pop made some grilled chicken. With the baked beans and macaroni and cheese we brought, lunch really hit the spot!

🥰 My family ❤️

Axl has to have surgery this week to get his anal gland removed. Don't ask it's gross! This stray dog is starting to get expensive. At least A gets 60% off vet services or he would NOT be our dog. We're hoping July 4th goes ok. We have an entire closet of fireworks we need to shoot off. I think the plan is to load him up on meds, put his cone on him, and lock him in the kennel. He should not be able to get out with the cone on. It's only for 30 minutes and we'll turn the surround sound way up to hopefully drown out some of the noise. We will keep an eye on him with the camera while we are out shooting off the fireworks. If he looks distressed someone will come inside.

T had a birthday party to go to at the lake. We had already been in line for 20 minutes when I took this picture. It took 40 minutes of waiting in line to drop him off AND when I went back to pick him up. Never go to the lake on a Saturday!!

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 Have A Fantastic Week!

  Pickleball is always fun! Now that the weather has been nicer, albeit super windy, we have been trying to do our weekly pickleball match. Basically, this week whoever was playing with the wind won! We still have fun playing even when it is windy. In fact, playing in the wind probably makes us have more fun. The wind gusts sometimes pick the ball up and make it do some funny things, like getting the ball and pushing it back onto your side so you lose a point or blowing it three courts over! Luckily, we are usually the only ones there so it doesn't matter if we play across 4 courts. Afterwards, we usually go get some ice cream/ frozen yogurt and just enjoy our outing.  T went camping this weekend with his troop. They worked on orienteering, which I was super happy about since T needs to work on that something fierce, but unfortunately the boys in troop aren't much better than him at orienteering and the first guy oriented them upside down on the first one so they basically was...
