July Visit from Sym, Josh and Girls

Visit from Symony

Remi is such a doll. You would think we could share the genders, but more than likely she will get all the girls and I will get all the boys. Maybe that's ok Remi has quite the personality that I don't know if I could handle. If I do have a girl on our next and last attempt maybe having 2 old brothers she can have less girl drama. I am starting to get used to the idea of only have 3 boys, maybe because thats what we are going to have. Sorry that probably sounds like I am pregnant, but I am not. I have to get things like that planned around our vacations can't have a baby while we are planning on being gone.

One of many fights over Remi's bike.Wow time flys when you are having fun. Funny story about the fireworks. I bought a box of assorted fireworks to do with the kids. We keep planning on doing, but the kids always got tired before it was dark outside so we keep putting off. Gavin did some pops of the 4th but that was the extent. Finally we planned to go to Grandma and Grandpa's and do fireworks. When we got there we didn't have anything to light them with and so Chris ran down to the gas station. While he was gone I was taking the wrapping off the fireworks and Gavin got into the box and sent off a firework. Which made us all jump. After he did that I realized the whole box was confetti filled poppers. They all had strings that I thought you had to light, come to find out ALL of them you pull the string to set off the fireworks. These type of fireworks would not be fun to wait until it was dark so we waited for nothing. It ended up being a great pack for Gavin because he loved to do the work of setting off the fireworks.

Brody is so cute!It is hard work to make those popper fire works go.

Why not just climb in the pool with your clothes on!

After the fireworks.

Gavin had to get in if Brody gets in at least he takes his shirt off.Remi watching the fireworks from inside at the door. I don't know why it was not even scary with having no fire. Grandma and CheyaneBrody always putting things in his mouth.

Look how happy he is filling his big belly.

After Gavin got the poppers to go he had to blow the smoke. We went out to eat at a fun restaurant called YC MongolianGrill.

Remi and Gavin

The kids played in the splash park at the mall while Symony and I went shopping. I would complain of the heat every time we went out of a store. I complained lots more of the heat and how hot it is. You would think she had lived here for 2 and 1/2 years and I was visiting.

Gavin and Cheyane
Gavin loves playing with little kids.

Gavin is always having fun playing at Jeepers.

This was Brody's favorite thing to do. He loves to play basketball and he makes it in about 1 in 5 not bad for 18 months.

This is the beloved bike of Remi's that all the kids fight over. You would think my kids don't have toys. Brody liked to ride the bike side saddle.

Other happenings at the Parkers. I had thought about doing a foriegn exchange student. I thought for sure we were going to, but Chris has changed my mind again. We are working on getting a modification on our house, I am hoping that works out. We have been getting things ready for Hawaii if you have any advice please let me know. We are staying on the North Beach. Chris has been looking at buying a motercycle he will probably get one this month or next month. It is the Honda VTX1300R it will be nice that he can drive in the car pool lane and be able to leave work without having to wait for people when he car pools. We will pay a lot less in gas. Bad things are he could easily die by crazy Arizona drivers hitting him on his hour drive.

We are planning on staying home for Thanksgiving and Christmas if anyone wants to come visit then you are more than welcome. The weather will be wonderful. The plan is to go up to Utah and visit in the spring and July.
