The Bunch Have A Fun Fourth

 

Axl loves cuddles from T.🥰

After dealing with Axl for 2 weeks, he is FINALLY healed from his surgery. At least enough to get his stitches out and stop bleeding all over our carpet. I had just steamed cleaned all the carpets last month, now I am doing it again. Actually, I might just rip the carpet up, put some rugs down, and deal with getting new flooring when we can. 

Theme night at camp this year is the 70's, T understood the assignment!😂

Starbucks gave him a pup cup and  at the pharmacy he got a Milkbone. Axl LOVES car rides!!!

This is the first time since we moved here that the fourth has fallen on a weekend and the first fourth where it has rained so much that noone was afraid of grass fires. You would have thought we were at war with the neighboring street! It was so loud and constant for about 2 hours! Literally all but two houses on our street set off fireworks, us included. We had about $200 worth of fireworks that we never set off last year. It was actually a pretty good kit. I was happy with it. I am not big on the loud ones and the ones that send sparks flying around everywhere. This only had a couple that were super loud, most were some sort of fountain, which are my favorite. We made grilled burgers, baked beans, mac n cheese, and the kids' favorite for dessert, fruit pizza. Axl did pretty good in his crate UNTIL we started setting them off in our driveway and then I watched him on the camera escape from his kennel WHILE wearing his cone on his head! I swear he is Houdini! He only lets us contain him if he wants it. Otherwise, there is no controlling him! Thankfully, except for loud noises and rain he's a super good dog. T, A, and I ended up taking turns sitting with him in my bedroom while D set off all our fireworks. It was a fun night even with babysitting Axl. Unfortunately, we were up until about 11:30 pm and D had to get up at 4:00 am to go to work the next day so he was crazy tired. I ended up pulling an all nighter with Axl because someone set off fireworks pretty much all night so I was super tired too. In fact, I needed D to go by the grocery store to pick up something I needed to make for lunch at church and I had to ask the kids what the name of chips we dip in salsa was? Tortilla chips!😂 I was so tired I honestly couldn't remember. Thankfully, everyone enjoyed their fourth and the next night was much more quiet so we all slept super well.

I still can't believe he squeezed through the corner with his cone on!! The give is only like 3-4 inches.

A helped D get everything set up.

I love the 4th! It's my favorite holiday after Xmas. It all about family, fun, and fellowship. It was so nice to not worry about burning anything down this year.

He calmly laid there as long as someone was with him watching tv ...he likes House Hunters😂 I always put it on when he is restless and it usually calms him right down...though admittedly I really don't want to have to have the tv on in the middle of the night.

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 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...

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...
