The Bunch Celebrate C and Grandpa's B-days

My first baby turned 32 this weekend and to celebrate we all packed up and made the hour and a half trek to C and H's Bonham lake house. C had asked for me to make him a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. I just vaguely remembered that when he was growing up we would periodically have a red velvet cake. It took me awhile to find the the recipe, but I finally did and it turned out FANTASTIC! A said it tasted like her childhood.🥰 We went out to eat at a burger place C recommended, but we arrived about an hour before they closed and the line was literally out the door. I have never seen a place so crazy busy! There was no room to sit at the restaurant so we took our burgers to go and ate C's house. The burgers were really good, but the fries were just ok. I would definitely eat a burger again , but probably wouldn't get any fries. We had a great time hanging out with C and H and celebrating C's birthday! This was A's first time seeing the new house. She thought it was really nice! Unfortunately, C and H just had to have a water leak fixed. I have never seen anyone be cursed with so many water leaks as they are! Their home in Carrollton had a leak in the slab that was a nightmare to fix. Fortunately, this leak was in the wall so they didn't have to dig into the slab. They just cut out pieces of their wall to fix it, which while easier to deal with was still a pain.

We enjoyed the Lakeview and nice afternoon by eating our burgers on the deck.

H has been enjoying her job at the elementary school.... mostly.😂

Happy Birthday to my first baby!

A couple of days after C's birthday is my dad's birthday. We celebrated with him by bringing him some Rosa's for lunch and making him a German chocolate cake. We had a nice visit. It's nice when we can all go together to visit everyone. As the kids get busier with their lives that becomes harder and harder to do so when we are able to do stuff together it makes it more special. I love my family, both immediate and extended. 🥰

We had a great afternoon celebrating Grandpa 😁

Age is just a number. I say go with what you feel like on the inside. 😜

We have spent a decade with just a hay field behind us. Three days ago the hay field got cows! They will not leave the horses alone, especially during feeding times!😂 I fully expect them to end up in our yard one day.

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...
