He did a great job and we are all proud! At that time, back in April, we still couldn't relax. Actually, the real stress had just begun. The 3 years of law school has nothing on the short 3 months of studying and preparing for the BAR Exam!!!!! It's that last semester and and then all the time preparing that really brings on the stress. The kids and I tried to be gone as much as possible. Visiting friends and family in Texas and in Norman kept us busy. Having to re-home our family pet was traumatic too. Oliver was sadly, a biter. We now have a little Yorkie named Mollie and she's great. But anyways, Chuck took the BAR in July and passed!!! Thank Goodness!!!! He has a job here in town at a firm doing criminal work for now and is also working immigration cases, which is what he loves. He is slowly building his clientel and getting his name out there. We are all so very happy and thankful that school is behind us. It doesn't seem that we've been here for very long at all. But I'll tell ya what, this last summer lasted forever! He took the BAR in July and then we received the results in almost mid-September. But way back in April, I made reservations for our family to go to Walt Disney World!! What better celebration than Disney!?!? Chuck and I were so happy that he passed, because either way, we were going. So we were happy that we were able to enjoy ourselves instead of being miserable. The trip was a tremendous success!! It was sooo wonderful. It truly is the happiest place in the world. Jared prays everyday to go back....heck, we all do!!chuck and aprilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06178853732563900466noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255701415639224172.post-59364921036092633742010-04-30T22:28:00.002-05:002010-04-30T22:53:10.452-05:00The Time has Come!!!!! Finally!!Well, the time has come for Chuck to graduate!!! YEA!!!! Yes, we are very very excited! The actual date is May 8th. We can't believe he's actually almost finished. Of course looking back, time has flown by so fast. In the moments of stress, it seemed like school was never ending. We aren't done with the stress of school yet though. Don't forget about the little test called the BAR EXAM. He graduates on a Saturday and begins BAR study classes on Monday. Test time is July. Pray and keep your fingers crossed for him!! As far as a job goes, he has an offer here and in Washington. Yes, it's a touchy subject...I want to stay and he wants to go. Overall, I'm very proud of Chuck. He's worked hard for all of us and we are thankful. <br /><br /> We are nearing the end of another school year for the kids, and yes, they are ready. Kurtis has matured alot this year. Lets just say he's not faking not being able to read anymore. :) He does his homework if I make him, but does an outstanding job on all his book reports and projects. He still thinks school is boring though. Blake on the other hand, loves school. He's a great student and makes great grades. I can't believe he's going to finish Kindergarten already. When we moved here, Kurtis was entering first grade and Blake couldn't even go to Pre-K yet. Wow. <br /><br />Jared and I have a great time together while the boys are at school. He misses them all day though. Yesterday, as we left the school parking lot, he said, "I love my boys". All three of them are quite close and we love that. It's wonderful to hear them pray for each other and see them growing together. Yes, we are terribly busy, but what else would we do? We would get bored if we didn't have 2-3 baseball games a week plus practices squeezed in there, too. Chuck and I sometimes have 2 games going and take turns at each game. It will be nice when Chuck isn't at school late and it won't be just me going back and forth to the games. Kurtis starts football conditioning here in a couple weeks. Then, the actual football season kicks off in July...practices and so forth. Blake is playing as well this year. How the heck Chuck and I are going to manage, I don't know. But still, we are all excited!! On top of everything else, we do have a very hyper puppy, Oliver. He's become a wonderful member of our family. We all love him so much. We weren't really "dog/animal" people before. I'm not sure what changed, but yes, sometimes, Oliver even sleeps in our bed. More and more, he sleeps only in his kennel, because for one, he's huge. Second, he doesn't want to lay at our feet. He jumps up on the bed and goes to the top and lays his head on my pillow in the middle of Chuck and I, lays on his back and snores very loud. I don't how it happened, but I picked a dog that acts just like my kids. :)chuck and aprilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06178853732563900466noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6255701415639224172.post-19786968719844063272010-04-30T22:06:00.004-05:002010-04-30T22:27:49.269-05:00The Long Lost Blogging Days...<div align="center">So, I know I have just fallen off the blogging wagon.

Our new Weimaraner Puppy!<div align="center">Chuck and I decided to get the boys a puppy for Christmas back in the summer. After <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> of research we decided that the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Weimaraner</span> would be a perfect dog for our family. They are hunters, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">retrievers</span>, loving companions, and protective. It just sounds like the boys would love a dog that is going to play rough and tough with them. Along with that, I wanted a big dog that would protect us if needed. Also, they don't shed much and are pretty clean dogs. That is a huge plus! I found a breeder and she had a litter that was going to be ready in mid-December. We were going to have her keep it until Christmas Eve and give him to the boys that night. But as of Friday night, I couldn't wait. So we broke the news to the kids and they were so excited! We left early Saturday morning to pick him up. It was a 31/2 hour drive there. Finally, we got there and had him in our arms. Yes, I know this sounds like I'm talking about a baby. But it really is like adding a new person to the family. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Weimaraners</span> live 10-15 years, so hopefully, he's around a long long time. We already love him so much. </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjANU3yXn90OvPDKqKe466ZT_wekAf7zVMqjmfeSoTNzAM22COSiJApYPcA8jB8iXNQmmcN6xEpBHqbSIti5qoIFAX747Ok1ICx97Ol1kTP7AJJVH444yptmfj3afqrANVzWgjwinXmbcBD/s1600-h/oliver+(46).jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414852029099028274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjANU3yXn90OvPDKqKe466ZT_wekAf7zVMqjmfeSoTNzAM22COSiJApYPcA8jB8iXNQmmcN6xEpBHqbSIti5qoIFAX747Ok1ICx97Ol1kTP7AJJVH444yptmfj3afqrANVzWgjwinXmbcBD/s320/oliver+(46).jpg" /></a> Kurtis and Oliver this morning in the backyard.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE7ceewAUt1QmVrhuo31tO-Alng0UL-NdROAyVp5giQK_2AanfcKNVqGyzLCAyudgqd7NdpHT9Kp1j_u25W7qjd4Bk6M_LWENWD5u2pT41bhtZsMfm4VkIJMRdsetTdxpacnRs_61rXvD3/s1600-h/oliver+(36).jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414852023060837954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE7ceewAUt1QmVrhuo31tO-Alng0UL-NdROAyVp5giQK_2AanfcKNVqGyzLCAyudgqd7NdpHT9Kp1j_u25W7qjd4Bk6M_LWENWD5u2pT41bhtZsMfm4VkIJMRdsetTdxpacnRs_61rXvD3/s320/oliver+(36).jpg" /></a> Oliver biting Kurtis' ear. <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW8xWt9GIhhgE3-ygdd9_QXHnulvw3Mr-_lax1hwo5uJtNzA_eNgd0jRu7RRbvUdhbBiF5P3apvoibmqur0V9UJrZ9MlaXptw-xjqMkx3O6iDJ9A8ChATqpf1admKP9PVQb8oE8hHqSwSJ/s1600-h/oliver+(8).jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414852011107105570" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW8xWt9GIhhgE3-ygdd9_QXHnulvw3Mr-_lax1hwo5uJtNzA_eNgd0jRu7RRbvUdhbBiF5P3apvoibmqur0V9UJrZ9MlaXptw-xjqMkx3O6iDJ9A8ChATqpf1admKP9PVQb8oE8hHqSwSJ/s320/oliver+(8).jpg" /></a> Blake and Oliver.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj14WTJqHeecFbGjMe6SIoss_jE9sFSTcwVnZpA2nZqkSJKff3Cn8_w1DmMr1ReW9C10_PbvLchFS2-RrkwGGR05jpbnrZ47b6zKSGBXJPRfpMIk1laSC8uFrLakYuL3sesNfCKpLbUpgoH/s1600-h/oliver+(22).jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414852003695322882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj14WTJqHeecFbGjMe6SIoss_jE9sFSTcwVnZpA2nZqkSJKff3Cn8_w1DmMr1ReW9C10_PbvLchFS2-RrkwGGR05jpbnrZ47b6zKSGBXJPRfpMIk1laSC8uFrLakYuL3sesNfCKpLbUpgoH/s320/oliver+(22).jpg" /></a> Jared totally loves Ollie.

Always Somethingwell, i know i haven't written in forever. that's just how busy we've been! like the title says, "it's always something". the semester did finally start for chuck. it went well. i say went, because he's taking his next to last final right now as i type. after this, only one more semester left!! the other night we were thinking what it might be like to have thanksgiving and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">christmas</span> without the stress of finals. how wonderful that will be! i don't know if i put it in my last post, but chuck was offered to finish out the internship throughout the school year. so it' been great. we don't see him all that much, but we are so grateful that's he is working so hard at school and work.<br /><br />as for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span>, he played football again this year and was awesome! it's like the game really clicked with him this year. he made some awesome tackles. he plays right tackle on defense and left tackle on offense, or vice versa. he played so well. yes, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">i'm</span> bragging, but his team came in 2<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">nd</span> place in the finals. some of the games were so exciting and very fun. 3rd grade is going well. he says it's hard and has too much work. thing is, that <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span> can totally do the work, he <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">just</span> doesn't want to. but he has a wonderful teacher this year that is right on top of it all. she is a loop teacher. meaning she will keep this class for 3rd and 4<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> grade. i love that. there won't be a big adjustment next year. and she'll already know <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span> and his tricks. :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">blake</span> is a great <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">kindergartner</span>! he loves it. he's reading and writing and doing so well. he's very excited about reading and i am so glad. he can spell all the colors and many other words. his teacher does <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> of songs that go along with spelling and math. he can memorize anything if it's set to music! he is our imaginative child. always pretending with his toys and singing all kinds of songs. when we walk into a store or some place playing music, it's <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">blake</span> that breaks out in a dance. not a little foot tapping either. i mean a real dance. he gets to start football next year. he wants to play so badly. it will be fun to watch the difference of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span> and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error">blake</span> on the field. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error">blake</span> is less intimidating looking. he's tall and thin. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span> has a huge build. people look at him and know he plays football and plays on the line. but he's not super aggressive out on the field. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span> also weighs too much to carry the ball. you have to fall into a certain weight bracket to carry/run the ball. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-error">blake</span> will be able to carry the ball. he's also fast and more aggressive in sports. so we are excited for that too. and then there is poor little <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-error">jared</span>. he wants to be one of the big boys so badly. he likes to do a 3 point stance and have one of his brothers say, "down, set, HUT!!" then off he goes running and tackles you. it's pretty cute. so far, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-error">jared</span> is a good mix of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_20" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span> and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_21" class="blsp-spelling-error">blake</span>. he very imaginative as well. as we walked through target the other day he <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_22" class="blsp-spelling-error">imformed</span> me that he was baby rogue and i was a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_23" class="blsp-spelling-error">jedi</span> master. our soda bottles were light sabers. we had many light saber battles in target that day. i got some funny looks. he likes to open his arms and pretend that he's flying and is constantly playing. and then he's like <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_24" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span> in the way that he makes the exact same faces and looks. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_25" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span> is def his snuggle buddy. if they are watching <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_26" class="blsp-spelling-error">tv</span> or a movie, he's right there all snuggled up. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_27" class="blsp-spelling-error">jared</span> calls <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_28" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span> and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_29" class="blsp-spelling-error">blake</span>, "his boys". he'll say, "when are we going to pick up my boys from school?" their cousin <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_30" class="blsp-spelling-error">blythe</span> calls all 3 of them her boys. i think they are officially, "The Boys". all 3 of them get along so great. chuck and i are truly happy with all of them. yes, they are rowdy and loud...<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_31" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span>. but they are boys and they love to play and have a good time. they also each have their quiet sweet times that they are so loving and caring. i enjoy being a mother of boys. like the title says, "it's always, something".chuck and

NEWS!!!!well, for us anyways, it's great news. chuck is entering his 3rd and last year of law school this fall. each summer, you want to intern somewhere. paid internships are even better. we were blessed last summer for chuck to intern with an immigration lawyer. he learned a ton and enjoyed it. then this summer, not wanting to drive to the city each day or be away from us for parts of the week and travel, he wanted to find an internship here in town. well, he was offered one at a great firm downtown. and he's been there all summer. again, he's learned <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> and made great contacts and networks. the internship was offered only for the summer. but we were hoping that they'd extend it throughout the school year. extra experience and money is always good. so, last week, his boss asked him if he could talk him into staying for the school year!!! we were <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">soooooo</span> relieved!! money will be extra tight this last year, so anything helps. plus, he enjoys working there. so we were on a high about that for a few days. then, a few days later, some of the attorneys pull him into their office to talk to him. he was pretty nervous he said. they told him that they want to start an immigration dept and would like him to basically run it!!!!!!!!! since he's not an attorney yet, he'll have to work under his boss still. meaning chuck will do the work, but his boss' name will be on it and he'll go to court with him and so forth!!!!!! nothing in writing for a permanent position after school yet, but we have our fingers crossed for sure!chuck and

how long does it take to clean your room!?!?so, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span> and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">blake</span> share a room. it had been a mess since last <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">sunday</span>. each day this week, i sent them in there to clean it all up. each day, i would walk by and check on them and find them laying on their backs playing with <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">bionicles</span> and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">legos</span>. all of which are strewed all over the room still. so on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">thursday</span>, i went in there and helped. i did about half of it. then, i told them to finish up. guess what, never happened! so, yesterday (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">saturday</span>) i told them that i am going out for pizza in one hour. if they want to eat, they have to have it done. an hour came and went and still......you guessed it, not done. chuck was getting after them and so was i...all afternoon. i don't know about you, but things like that just wear me out so fast! i give myself a headache from all my griping! i was going down the hallway and i see chuck going to tell them to get up and clean. i stopped him before he said anything. i went into the room and told them they didn't have to clean anymore and that i would finish it all. they immediately perked right up and darted out of the room. nothing else expected, of course. well, i cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. i cleaned so much, that there weren't any toys left in the room after i was done. i packed it all up. they have books and they can color. but other than that....nothing. and to tell you the truth, i don't feel sorry for them right now. they weren't taking care of their things, so i don't think they need them. today, i heard <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">blake</span> ask <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span> if he wanted to play star wars. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span> told him yes, but they don't have anything to play with. i then heard <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">blake</span> say, "oh yeah." chuck and i were evil and were laughing quietly in the next room. now i didn't throw them away. just packed them all up. they earn tickets for good behavior each day. and at the end of the week, they get to buy stuff that i have in this big container. well, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">i'm</span> going to save money for the next few months. cause <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error">i'm</span> not buying anything for the box. i am putting their toys in there and they will have to earn enough tickets to purchase their toys back. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error">i'm</span> just fed up with toys. i don't think my kids have a ton of toys. but the ones they do have are all over the place all the time. well.....not anymore.chuck and

2009well, it's been a few months since i updated the blog. i thought <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">i'd</span> post some pics and let you know what we've been up to. obviously, it's summer. you'd think that things should slow down and be more calm since <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">i'm</span> not running the kids back and forth to school. but no. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span> and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">blake</span> have been in little league. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">i'm</span> not complaining, but i guess i am in a way too. with all the practices and games, it just really kept us busy during the week. luckily this is the last week of games. both the boys did really well, and enjoyed it <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span>. one of the more exciting things that happened is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span>' baptism! it was really wonderful. my extended family was there and then <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">chuck's</span> parents and brother and his family came out for the event. it was totally a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">parrish</span> event. first, the library was locked. the key we were given didn't work. so we couldn't make copies of the program. then, the air conditioner was on, but it was stifling in there!!!! then the program starts......time for the actual baptism. chuck and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span> go back there and we are waiting for them to walk down the stairs into the water. instead, we hear a muffled voice telling us the font door is locked. it was chuck on the other side. again, the key wouldn't work. so the bishopric member had to ho over the font and unlock it and then hop back. other than that, it went really really well. chuck and i are so proud of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span> and his accomplishments. afterwards, we had a big party at my house. and yes, like a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">parrish</span> event, there was lots of food and good times. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error">jared</span> and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error">blake</span> also had great birthdays this summer. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error">blake</span> is 5 now. he will be starting all day kindergarten this fall. yes, you read right. all day. i will have only one child with me!!!!!!!!!! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error">i've</span> already decided....<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-error">i'm</span> napping when he does!!!! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-error">jared</span> is now 2. he thinks he's one of the big boys now. he's talking a ton and putting sentences together pretty well. i waited way too long to take the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-error">binky</span> away. it was after his birthday. i know i know. but he's the third kid. and lets face it, ya just don't care as much about those things with the later kids. just how it goes. he'd need braces anyways. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-error">kurtis</span> did football camp last week. the draft is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_20" class="blsp-spelling-error">sunday</span>, so <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_21" class="blsp-spelling-error">monday</span> we'll know what team he's on and stuff. since he's a 3rd grader now, they won't play other people in the district. they will be playing other towns and traveling for games. we will be very busy with all of it. now that he's older, they allow the teams to practice more a week. they are allowed 4 events. so 3 practices and 1 game. he'll be a tired little man, that's for sure. but football season is lots of fun! <br />we've done lots of family things all summer. you know us, we like to get together and eat and play. it's been fun. school starts here in 3 weeks for the kids. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_22" class="blsp-spelling-error">i'm</span> so ready for them to go back. they are just around each other so much right now and fighting way too much. plus, it's harder to keep the house clean too. so anyways, that's just a little update on us. we're hanging out and trying to keep cool in this terrible heat!! <br /><br /><div align="center"><a

already put up a fence to keep them out.....the kids took it upon themselves to make rabbit traps. they picked all my spicy peppers first. then dug holes and placed the peppers inside and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_35" class="blsp-spelling-error">covered</span> it with leaves. this way, the bunnies would fall into the hole and then eat hot peppers and never come back again. no, i didn't get mad. i have lots of peppers again, and hey, the bunnies are gone. :)<br /><div align="center"><a

we are still hereso we are still here. things have just been really busy. seems like we are always on the go. taking someone somewhere. and then my sister <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">mallory</span> and her new baby beck came to visit at the beginning of the month. that was fun. we went to the aquarium and got to hang out with the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">fam</span>. before my brother left on his mission, we started this thing at my parent's house. they have one of those portable fire pits in their backyard. so we build a fire and roast marshmallows and make <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">smores</span>. it's <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">alot</span> of fun. so this time was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">mallory's</span> first time for the family campfire. we laugh and sing songs, and we also do this mean thing. we try to take horrible pictures of each other. that's where <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">alot</span> of the fun comes in actually. i am on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">facebook</span> and i post most of our pics there. you can come find me if you want. but we are all on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">facebook</span>...my entire family. so we take these bad pics and post them and make funny comments about them. mean, but very fun. all the kids are doing well. all growing and getting smarter everyday. amazing what they know at such young ages. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">jared</span> loves his big brothers. he runs and chases after them everyday. he naps late in the afternoon. then we go get the big boys from school. and when they come home, he immediately asks them "outside! outside!" it's cute. he gives them both a light saber, (we have 3 of course) and then they play star wars. it's so cute. he really thinks he's one of them, trying to keep up. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">blake</span> is still loving school, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">pre</span>-K. he does well, and has lots of friends. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">kurtis</span> is doing well, too. he's such a good reader now and his teacher told me i didn't even need to come in for parent teacher conference! now those of you that know of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">kurtis</span> and last year's reports...he's doing a world of difference this year. we are so happy about that. he's excited for football this summer and fall. he also got the news today that he is going to have his tonsils out in a couple weeks. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">yay</span>! he needs them out!! they are huge and he gets strep all the time! it's awful. he's actually excited as well. he told me he's ready to eat <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">popsicles</span> and ice cream. typical <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">kurtis</span>. he's funny. chuck is chugging along in school as well. almost done with this semester. you know, it's actually more difficult in the summers that the school year for us. summers include classes and work...that doesn't pay much at all. last summer he was gone <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">alot</span>. so when school started in the fall, it was a relief. backwards, huh. we will see how this summer goes. anyways, i will try to keep up the blog better. hope this finds you all well.<br /><br /><div align="center">this is my nephew <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">alex</span>. we just got through with pics of the cousins at target. he was so naughty. but of course, what a

class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">kurtis</span> wore to get the mail. it's his hat that my dad brought back from Azerbaijan. <br /><br /><br /><div>well well well. what have the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">parrish's</span> been up to you ask? a ton!! i haven't posted in such a long time. football finally ended for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">kurtis</span>. they had a great season and he wants to play next year too. now the boys, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">kurtis</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">blake</span> are playing basketball. both of them are doing pretty well. seems that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">alot</span> of the parents had the same idea as chuck and i and put their football players in basketball. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">kurtis</span>' first game was going well, and then 2 players on his team totally wrapped up and tackled these two other kids! poor things. the gym floor is so hard. the coach took a time out and gathered them together and yelled pretty loud, "DO NOT WRAP UP!!!" he said it a couple of times. the kids were fine so all was well. it was funny. thank goodness <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">kurtis</span> wasn't one of the tacklers. he actually stopped to help the hurt kids. we thought that was nice for a sec and then yelled for him to tun down court!! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">blake's</span> game was cute as could be. all these 3 and 4 year <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">olds</span> were making <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">alot</span> of baskets. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">blake</span> is really good at rebounding the ball. no tackling during that game. :) chuck has been studying and going to school of course. this semester was just as bad as the first two so he says. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">i'm</span> sure he did fine. we are still waiting on grades. hopefully they will post this week. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">i've</span> been keeping busy of course. with the kids in sports, it really makes those days really really busy. late dinner and late to bed it seems. but i have to admit, i like the sports. i like seeing the kids out there playing and being competitive. i think i get a little overboard sometimes, but i can't help it. i am a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">yeller</span> at the games. so far the kids haven't told me that i embarrass them. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">jared</span> is growing so fast these days. we do <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">alot</span> of get <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">togethers</span> with my friends and their kids as well. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">blake</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31">jared</span> both enjoy those. as do i. we all get a break. sadly, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32">lauren</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">larry</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34">blythe</span> moved away this last month. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35">jared</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36">blythe</span> are quite close and miss each other very much when apart. they ask for each other frequently. it's sad. but <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37">lauren</span> comes down to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_38">tulsa</span> a couple times a week. so we get together and play. i only have a few pics to post right now. we are currently in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_39">washington</span> visiting <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_40">chuck's</span> family. we are having a fun time...besides the horrible weather. in all the years i lived here, it never did this here. tons and tons of snow with temps below freezing or in the one digits. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_41">i'm</span> happy we live in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_42">oklahoma</span> with the warmer winters now. we want to get out and visit friends, but not sure we can make it up north with all the snow. the other thing that we've been doing, is seeing the TWILIGHT movie!!! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_43">i've</span> seen it 6 times now. yes you read it right. 6 times. and <span

is in the airso i didn't get to have my semi annual cinnamon roll party. that was a bummer. i missed the fun and not to mention the cinnamon rolls! we did have a good weekend though. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">kurtis</span> has had football games every <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">saturday</span> for a while now. so besides the game, it was a relaxing time at home....much needed not to mention. it seems like we are going somewhere and doing something all the time. <br />the kids are doing well. they are all growing at the same time. all of the sudden, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">everyones</span> clothes are too small. chuck is still enjoying school. he's busy, but we all manage. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">blake</span> is loving <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">pre</span>-K. he thinks he's just such a big boy now. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">kurtis</span> is doing well in 2<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">nd</span> grade. he's made lots of friends this year and is having a fun time. football is still fun too. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">jared</span> is getting big. well, not that big. he's a little guy. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">kurtis</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">blake</span> were always so big. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">jared</span> is our little one. chuck says he takes after my genes. that would actually be sad. his brothers are huge and then he's tiny. hopefully he'll catch up. either way, he'll be tough as nails. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">i've</span> been hanging out with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">lauren</span> and our friends <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">alot</span>. we do lunch or just go run errands or something. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">larry</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">lauren's</span> husband is in Iraq. he left last month. so we've been keeping <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">lauren</span> busy. we've been having a good time. for one of our friends birthdays, we went to see a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Boyz</span> II Men concert. they were playing at the fair! since they were there, we only had to pay the admission price to the fair. it was a great concert! loved it. and on top of that, our other friend <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">melani</span>, who loves <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Boyz</span> II Men, got a back stage pass to meet them!!!! i think she cried 3-4 times afterwards from sheer happiness...not kidding. <br />well, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">october</span> is here...and it's still too hot here. that is one thing about <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">oklahoma</span>. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">i'm</span> always so ready for it to cool down. but in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">washington</span>, in the spring, it doesn't warm up fast enough. oh well. i did see a few trees' leaves changing colors this morning. we've made our <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">halloween</span> wreath and hung up the skeletons and the lights. the kids really like it. it's so fun for them. i better get dinner

spent many hot evenings and nights watching football. don't get me wrong, it's been worth it and it's been fun. but realistically, our lives are <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Jenks</span> Trojans Football right now. they even have the Trojan Preview. which if you are familiar with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">OU</span> football, is similar to the Big Red Rally. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">i'm</span> sure that other colleges do the same thing. kinda to show off all the players this year. well, in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Jenks</span> Football, there isn't just high school players. there are players from K-12. now the K-2<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">nd</span> graders (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">kurtis</span>) are called the mighty mights. there are a little over 100 of them. then the others are <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">divided</span> by weight and grade. well, at the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Jenks</span> preview, all the players get to come out on the field and be introduced with their teams. afterwards, the high players come out and it's a huge deal here. lots of fun. </div><div align="center"><a

book!" so she brought the book over one night. it sat for a couple weeks. she kept asking me about it, so i HAD to read it. and now, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">i'm</span>

</div><div align="center"><br />my aunt janet from utah came to visit last month. i went down to norman and hung out a few days here and there. we went to an amusement park called Frontier City and had a great time. also while she was here, she noticed some of the problems that i have with my kids. if you didn't know, kurtis is quick to anger, gives the worst looks you can imagine, and has a very sharp tongue. blake, well, that child just doesn't listen!! don't get me wrong, i love them dearly. but man, they can be naughty! well, my aunt janet had the CURE!! it wasn't the usual...time out, take priviledges, spanks or anything like the ordinary things you hear all the time. i'll just give you an extremely short run down. we prompt and guide. now for major mis- behaviors, the kids are put on level one. that consists of separation and sorting. they sort colored paper clips and beans. you'll see in the pics. then level 2 which is mostly separation, missing out on fun stuff. then there is level 3 which is freedom again. there is a whole reward system and everything, but i'm going to go into details about it all. if you want more info, comment and let me know. anyways, when blake gets put on level one, it lasts forever because he never sorts. he will try to do anything, besides sort. even though he know how and all, it's just "too boring" he says. but all in all, this system is working wonders. of course we still have our bad days. but they aren't nearly as bad or often!! and that is wonderful. thanks janet!<br /></div>chuck and

set, HUT!<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">alot</span> and not much as been going on. we've been busy with football practice mostly. it's 3 times a week in the evenings. and on practice days, i don't let <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">kurtis</span> do <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">alot</span> of physical activity. it just drains him too much. i let him go swimming the day of the first practice...lets just say that it didn't go well. so now we are staying indoors <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">alot</span> more. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">kurtis</span> is an awesome football player so far. his positions are right guard and right tackle. he uses his brute strength...and is very successful. when they are practicing, they line the kids up facing one another. they get into the 3 point stance, (when the bend over with one hand on the ground and their butts in the air) and then the whistle blows and they tackle each other. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">kurtis</span> is always the last one standing. it's really fun to watch. i mean, i don't mean to brag, but my kid is tough!! they were teaching them plays the other night. 3 times in a row, this kid in front of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">kurtis</span> (the one he's going to tackle/block) turns high tail and runs the other direction!! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">kurtis</span> just put his hands in the air like, "what the heck?" chuck and i were cracking up. the coach was telling the kid that he had to engage <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">kurtis</span> and try to get him down, but he turned and ran instead. i do feel sorry for the kids that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">kurtis</span> tackles. i can hear the sounds they make when they hit the ground. poor little guys. in this video, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">kurtis</span> is going against the only other kid that is bigger than he is. you'll see at the end, i cut it off too early, but the kid goes down! yes, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">i'm</span> very much getting into this!! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">kurtis</span> is the one that has red tape on his helmet, and black <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">cleats</span>.<br /><iframe

camp<div align="center">well, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">kurtis</span>' football camp was yesterday and today. it only lasted an hour and a half each day. but in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">grooling</span> heat, it seemed like all day. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">kurtis</span> was just pouring sweat. he was expelling it as fast as he could drink the water. they had them do various drills and so forth. while they are doing the drills and going station to station, there are coaches <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">evaluating</span> the players. the draft is this <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">sunday</span> and we'll be contacted about which team he'll be on and so forth. this was a pretty serious thing. i mean, we had been told it was serious, but it was nothing like i expected. i only saw 2 more people with cameras the first night and then one other one tonight. this isn't the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">cutsie</span> thing like t-ball is. these parents are out here to not only win, but make NFL stars out of their kids. so are the coaches. but it's not serious enough so that the kids don't have fun. so that is really good. so far, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">kurtis</span> is really liking it. the coaches have pulled him over to talk to him a few times. they have been timing their 40 meters and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">kurtis</span> came in under 6 last night and under 5 tonight. that's great. we are really excited for him. if you know <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">kurtis</span>, he's got the build for the game. it's one of those things that we just know he can do so awesome if he gives it his all. so far, he's loving it. and we are really happy about it as well. it's just so cute to see those little guys out there in all their gear. games will be coming up soon and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">i'll</span> keep you updated. </div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a
