The Bunch Celebrate T's Graduation With His Friends

T had his birthday party at Slick City and had so much fun that he decided to celebrate his highschool graduation there. He and his friends had a blast! I actually booked an official party through the company this time. Not only did it save us a few bucks, but someone else was in charge of checking everyone in, getting the pizzas, and cleaning up. We were literally the only party during our time frame so we had the entire party area to ourselves. It was fantastic! Slick City is an extreme slide and trampoline park. The boys did slide on some of the slides but mostly just played basketball on the trampoline court. The party hostess did get on the intercom to wish T a very happy birthday on his special day.😂 It became a running joke about wishing him happy birthday.

After nearly a month at the mechanic's shop, we finally got our SUV back. I have no idea why it took so long, but for the amount of money we paid to fix it, it better not have anything major go wrong for like 4 years!! I am still uncomfortable with having paid so much more than the value of the car to get it fixed. D is driving it for now back and forth to work to see how it does. Eventually, we plan to get another commuter car that he and T will share until T starts work in a year and then it will be T's car and we'll get something else. We appear to be very close to closing this unexpected car saga and we can't wait! I still love my BMW. I don't like having to share it with T while we look for a commuter car. It has way more pep than he needs!

We have spent most of this week getting ready for our cookout this weekend. We are going to see Clue next week and are celebrating T's freedom award with Scouts (the freedom award is Trail Life's Eagle Scout equivalent). We are looking forward to enjoying summer!

T also found out he officially made the EMT/ Fire Academy this week. We are very proud of him. They only take the top 20 students each semester. Now we have to get his physical and shot updates, order his uniforms, and several other things.

A's dates didn't end up working out so she has a new date this week. This one is 25 so we're getting closer to her age. However, he is in the Army and my experience is that Army and Marine guys are a little egotistical and slightly crazy. I wish her luck though.

Coming next week......GENDER REVEAL ON GRANDBABY BLOB!!!

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 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...

The Bunch Have A Fun Week!

D had his awards banquet at a BBQ place we had been wanting to try for awhile. The food was really delicious and not greasy at all. We have had a lot of expenses thrown at us lately. We bought our new appliances , which were well planned for. However, after that we had 2 cars to get repaired, one of which was decided that it was too expensive and would make more sense to get a newer, stronger, younger one, I have to get some polyps removed, we owe uncle Sam money for the first time ever (thanks to the rule about the year a child turns 17 you lose the child tax credit even if the majority of the year they are 16), and lots of other little things. You know how it goes...when it rains it pours. Since we were unable to take the rv out because of the tow vehicle being unable to tow with a heavy load, more like us not wanting to risk trying, and since A had a day off work, we decided to go on an adventure to do something that none of us ever had done before. We started with...
