The Bunch Have Fantastic Christmas

Our local park has a great light display!

We celebrated Christmas with my in laws the Sunday before Christmas. This is the first year in I don't know how long that we celebrated Christmas BEFORE January! It was great! They drove all the way up to our house and brought some really great fajita meat and I bought some tamales and we had a traditional Southern Mexican Christmas feast. Unfortunately, they ended up feeling ill the next day. I think everyone has pretty much caught the crazy super bug going around. The boys played in church this week and right after the service D let me know he thought I was right and they are sick. I had been trying to tell them for the past two days, but they refused to admit it. He must feel really bad to admit it. Everyone at church is sick too so it's not like someone could have filled in for them. 

We had a wonderful day!

We really enjoyed our time together.

My in laws got us a pressure washer. This was about 5 seconds to clean this spot. I can't wait until next week when we do the whole thing! We have several house projects this year. The deck getting restrained is the first one.

We celebrated D's birthday right after our Christmas celebration. D wanted to go see the new Avatar movie so that's what we did and had been looking forward to. The movie is so long that we went to a 9:30 am showing so we could still have some of our afternoon left.  We still didn't get out until almost 1:30 pm! It was really good. I probably like the second one best, but the kids thought this one was their favorite. I could have done with about 45 minutes of the fight scenes being cut, but T really thought they made the movie and told me it was blasphemy for suggesting otherwise.😂


Happy Birthday Baby! I love you so much!!

T made D the sweetest and most thoughtful birthday gift! He made him a scrapbook of all their adventures together over the years. He called it My Buddy and Me, which is from the old Toys R Us commercial that D always sings to him.🥰

T played in our church's Christmas Eve concert. It was nice. I love the candle light services though little kids with an open flame does make me a wee bit nervous. D was able to go into work late and have Christmas morning with us. My parents, C, and H all came over for brunch. It was a great Christmas albeit a very hot and humid one! 


I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

The twins

We had a lot of Christmas fun!

My daddy is doing well!

My mom has a crazy amount of energy for her age.... actually she has a lot of energy for any age! I hope I get around as well as my parents when I am their age!

C and H are doing really well! I love getting to visit with them.

We had a great breakfast. Everyone helped so no one person did too much.

A asked for a new dance game for the WII U.😂 Yes, we have way newer gaming systems, but she wanted it on the Wii U. T and A have fun doing it together as a warm up before they workout together. 

Christmas morning 🎄

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...
