Update

Today is the first day without throw up. Yea for us! Everyone ended up with the flu bug first Brody. Then Gavin and Chris, just when I thought it was over, then I got it and back to Gavin for another day. We still have not got around to Brody's cake yet. I was going to do that tonight, then Gavin decided that he didn't want to clean up his trains tracks. I made him stay in his room until it was done. An hour or so passed and he sleeping on the floor by 6:00. Maybe we can try and learn how to clean up our toys tomorrow, I hope not at 5 am.

This is my last week in English COMM 215, only a Final Grammar Exam, Finish the Team PowerPoint, Paper and Done! This class was good and I hope to finish with an A, if I get a good grade on my Grammar Exam. Do not check my grammar on my posts!

The next class is MTH 214 Math for Elementary Educators. This is the second half of my last class MTH 213. The class was very busy with lots of math homework. I hope I can find time to do all the work. The last class was hard and I had my parents here to help me watch the kids and I wasn't watching other kids. I just might go crazy! Or I might learn to schedule my time better. We will see what it will be.

My Poor Boys

Brody’s birthday partying was filled with throw up. Brody was up during the night throwing up and Chris was a sweet husband and father and got up with the sick boy. I made his birthday cake and we were supposed to have everyone for dinner and eat cake. Check out the cute picture I had taken after I finished, the Carousal, Brody did get a finger in when I was taking the picture and loved eating the frosting. Well after Gavin threw up, we ditched out on the family, the cake will have to wait. Brody did get some gift that they were able to play with. After the throw up, they got baths and were able to play with Becky, Matt and Colton’s Submarine Bath Toy. We pulled out the trains from Mike, Amy, and riding lion from Grandad and Grammy after baths. Gavin loves to play with all the toys and gets mad when we make him share Brody’s new Birthday toys. We have to keep reminding him that they are Brody’s toys. Grandma & Grandpa, Beverly & John gave money. I think Brody needs diapers for his birthday he already has tons of toys. What do you think? Besides, Brody will not get them anyway after Gavin sees the toys. Well that is all for now, I will post more at a later time.

Samantha's Baptism

Samantha Parker was baptized on Saturday and the Parker family came to support. We had Grammy, Grandad, Becky, Matt, Colton, Beverly, and John. We love when family comes to visit.

Brody loves to give kisses especially to Keagan.

These two pictures are random pictures I wanted to post. Lexie and Gavin have wonderful imaginations. It is hard to see Emileigh and Brody, but they also love to go outside and play. Lets see if you can guess what they are building.

If you guessed Helicopter you are correct. How about this next picture they did the next day.

If you guessed a Jet Airplane then you guessed right. What two cute kids.

Yea for Brody!

Took Brody and Gavin to the Gym today, I was able to do a full Zumba class without having to go get Brody. I was so happy he stayed the whole time. I keep waiting for them to come say he wouldn’t stop crying. They put him in a swing and he stayed happy. I will need to tell them to put him in a swing every time.

Gavin keep complaining that he didn’t want to go. I bribed him that if he was good he would get to go to Grandpa’s house after. Gavin’s deal was “I want to go to Grandpa’s house a real, real, real, real, real, real, real, REAL, long time.” Not kidding, that many real’s. He told me that same thing all the way to the gym and all the way home from the gym. Grandpa was nice enough to let him stay a real, real, real long time. I left him and took Brody home for a nap; I also got some homework done. We Love Grandpa!

We are excited that the Parkers are coming to visit this weekend. They are up for Samantha’s Baptism. Brody has a birthday tomorrow also. Can you believe that he will be a year tomorrow? On Monday, we are going to Jeepers to celebrate all the families’ birthdays, including, Samantha 22nd, 8 years; Brody 24th, 1 year; Chris Feb 1st 29; Grandad Parker Feb 2nd.

Another Day at the ZOO

We took Gavin, Brody, Lexie and Emileigh to the zoo. They had lots of fun and got all tired out. I think we only actually saw 1/4 of the animals.

Gavin's New Adventures

I tried a new Gymnastics place called Funastics. He didn't want to do much at the beginning, but then started to get into the fun. His favorite was the bars except he was sad because this place did not have chalk for their hands like the other. I think we are going to keep going to this place. There is another place called Desert Tumblers that I might take Gavin to also. They have open gym that they can just go and play on the equipment that is closer to us.

Even Brody had fun, not as much fun as he would have liked. He tried to reach for the bars just like his brother Gavin.

Executive Enrollment Counselor

Chris Parker is the most perfect husband, father, and supporter. Chris got a promotion at work from senior enrollment counselor to executive enrollment counselor at the University of Phoenix. It is a huge deal; he is the first person in his division to be a Business and Technology Executive Counselor. No one has been good enough until now! This is something he has been working on from what seems like forever. He worked extra hard and is very good at his job, even put in Saturdays to get to his new position. We are so very proud of his accomplishments. He proves to his family everyday how hard he is willing to work for us.

New Adventures

My little boy is getting so big. He went to Sunbeams for the first time. He cried when he went, not unusual, he would cry going to nursery. It feels like just yesterday he was going into nursery and now Sunbeams time sure goes by fast. Chris checked on him while in Singing Time and he was helping up front and then he saw him in the hall waiting for class. Actually being reverent it surprises me when he is good. It makes me think he will actually be good in school. Look at the cute crown they got in class.

Gavin's new Jammies he likes to run fast to make the cape fly.

Brody's new think lately his his tongue. Sticking it out, clicking it, and spitting.1

I love sleeping pictures. This is the new blanket Grammy made for Brody. Oh by the way Grammy, Gavin's blanket is already coming apart. Gavin is hard on his blankets so you need to bring your hook with you when you come.
This video is Brody trying to walk. Really he just steps with his right foot. That left foot is hard to step with. I love Milestones!

Bowling

During Chris' day off for Christmas we took the boys bowling for the first time. They are fun to watch. Gavin got a 65!

Brody giving loves to the bowling ball. Yummy Germs!

Christmas 2008

Sorry way behind on my blogs. These are a few pictures from Christmas. It was lots of fun and received wonderful gifts. Symony, Josh, Remi, and Cheyane came to visit for the holidays. We went to fun Jeepers and I took pictures on her camera (forgot to download before she left) so if you want to see pictures of that fun event look at her blog.

This is Brody's first Christmas. I think he enjoyed the event. This was Gavin's 4th Christmas he loves open gifts unless they are clothes. My wonderful cousin Emily sent me clothes for the boys and Sym was nice enough to wrap each thing. After the second shirt he opened he said "I don't want clothes I want toys!" Gavin loved all his toys including Brody's toys.

As you can tell we did end up with a Christmas Tree while Symony was here she put up the tree.
