The Bunch Watch A Mavericks Game

We made it to the AAC and are ready to enjoy our night!

Since we haven't been able to go on T's senior trip yet, he has been using some of the money we set aside for each of the kids senior trip to go do some fun family activities that we don't normally do. He wanted to go to the AAC and see a Mavericks game. We really wanted to go when the Lakers were here to show Luka some love, but the ticket prices were absolutely insane. It's probably their most expensive game now that everyone wants to see Luka when he's back home. That game happened to be on the same day the crazy ice storm came and still 90% of the people who bought tickets came! We ended up going when the Celtics were here. We had a great time and the seats weren't nearly as bad as we thought they might be. I mean it was scary as hell having to go up and down the stairs and stand up in your row, but once safely sitting down the view was fantastic! We were at half court so we could see everything that was going on. We had a blast watching Coop and participating in the home game shenanigans. I was hoping we would get to see Gafford play before he might be traded, but I was really happy that they ultimately decided not to trade him. He plays well with Coop. It was the most fun we have had in awhile! They really moved traffic well afterwards. The surrounding streets were temporarily one way and they had a bunch of people directing traffic. It only took us 10 minutes to get out of the parking garage and out to the highway.

They had some fun fan stuff in the plaza, but T wanted to get inside to watch them warm up

Our seats weren't horrible.

We had a fantastic time!

Though T had a super great time and that was the most important since it was his outing.❤️

It has been almost 2 weeks since the ice event and FINALLY the last little bit of ice has melted. It took FOREVER! We had a ton of ice and snow. We had some drifts about 2 feet deep. Let me tell you 24 inches of an ice block takes almost two FULL weeks to melt and the past several days have been in the 70's and today was 82. Now I get to clean my poor deck again. It is super muddy. We are also busy undoing all the tarps and preparations we made 2 weeks ago to keep the animals warm because now it's just cooking them. 🤷 If it's not one thing it's another.

The last of the ice that melted today! Yay!!😁

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...
