The Bunch Take T To Camp

This is actually typical. They always kid I'm Snow White. MiMi is at my head.

I am really struggling to remember what all went on this week because I didn't take any pictures! I know we went to have dinner with T's girlfriend's parents. It was very nice of them to invite us over to meet them and have dinner. This is his first real girlfriend that has lasted more than 2 weeks and so far she is a way better fit for him than the last girl he dated a couple of times that hated the outdoors. T is a very active person who loves going to do things outside and I really couldn't see the last one working out because there's only so many movies and so many times he can repeatedly sit still. This new girl is really nice and plays club softball. She is crazy busy with that like he was with basketball. He met her at church when she started coming. She decided she wanted to go to church even though her family doesn't. She is a very thoughtful and nice person. Apparently, T is the first boy she has ever dated and they were quite shocked! She is a junior and one year younger than T almost to the day. Her birthday is two days before his.

We also installed my new dishwasher! Poor D hit a little snag with it. However, he managed to get it figured out and I love it! It is so nice not to have things fall through the silverware holder and all the wheels stay on. It is crazy quiet too! The only thing that is kinda driving me crazy is trying to keep my glass top range clean, which so far I am failing at.

I also had to drive T to his campout. He wasn't feeling great the night his troop was leaving so I took him up early the next morning to meet them. We left at 5:45 am, drove an hour, and had 10 miles of unmaintained dirt roads, but he got there. He was able to spend the rest of the week with them learning how to shoot a 22. He was crazy tired when he came back and to be honest hasn't really recovered yet.

This week A is going to go with us on a camping trip. I am so excited! She hasn't been with us in years.

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 Are Ready For Fall To Come Back

A and I at our favorite venue. We LOVE Bass Hall. I must admit that we are pretty tired of the crazy hot weather. We are ready to go back to the temps we had at the beginning of September. We played pickleball again this week, but D had required overtime to work so just T, A, and I went. We played singles and winner played the next person or A and I played together against T. We ended up in full sun and the humidity was a killer. We are happy that the cold front is coming through this week and the mornings should be in the 60s or low 70s with low humidity. It should be super nice to play in. T won every game we played, but A and I together definitely made him work harder! We still had a lot fun. We decided against our usual post game Braums. We all were hot and really just wanted to get home to the a/c. A won the lottery for tickets at Bass Hall to see the Life of Pi. We were up in the upper gallery, but that might have been beneficial for this show. The animal puppet...
