Weekend with the Paynters
Mommy and her college roommate and best friend, Amy, have been planning a weekend together with our boys, collectively ages 4, 3, 2, and 1, for awhile. We orignally planned for August, but when Guy made plans for a camping trip this past weekend, we decided it would give us a little more privacy, and not drive him nuts with four boys running around here. Of course, his plans got canceled last minute due to 6 inches of water, which would make it very hard to canoe, haha. Fortunely, we all stayed busy and didn't cross paths too much. Friday Amy and the boys got in around 3, and it took awhile for Parker and Tripp to warm up---Tripp gave him a run for his money! They are sooo much alike--he's never quite had anyone stand up to him like Tripp did :) Baxter and Bryce are so chill, they got in the mix a few times, but were content to just sit back and watch the older boys. Saturday morning we headed to the beach and the kids had a blast. Parker and Tripp would have totally stayed all day, but our little ones were ready to nap. We ate at McDonalds on the way out and took them home for naps. After dinner the boys played outside, and Cameron and Kyla stopped by to play for a few minutes. When bathtime came around, we threw all four naked boys in the baby pool with some bubble bath and let them play away! Sunday morning we headed to Grandma and Pappy's pool, where they not only got to swim, but ride power wheels, razor scooters, and the slip n' slide---the funnest house ever! Amy and the boys were heading back Sunday night, so after naps we headed to the play area at MacArthur (way too hot to play outside) and let the boys wear themselves out. We ate dinner at the mall, let them check out the fountains downstairs, headed back to our house for ice cream, and they got on the road. Parker moped around the house for a good while, so sad that his friends were gone. He has tried to convince me to make the 4-hour drive today to go visit them, haha. Looking forward to our next visit with the Paynters!

Happy Birthday Parker :)
On Wednesday, July 7, my Parker turned 4! I cannot believe it has been four years! To celebrate, we took the boys out for ice cream, which they thoroughly enjoyed!
Parker's Birthday Party
I love that Parker is a summer baby, but we really have no choice but to have a pool party for his birthdays because it's just too hot outside for anything else! This year was the first time he actually cared about present, which was annoying, because it's all he cared about. Even asked Stephan if he brought a present when he saw him come in! He had an attitude from the moment he woke up, so he didn't really spend all that much time with everyone at the party. He really wanted the truck off his cake, so he sat next to the cake inside the house staring at the truck. Oh well, everyone else had fun! It was a great time with great friends and family! Parker is very much enjoying all his wonderful gifts!
Daddy's birthday
Having just returned from vacation, we decided to keep daddy's birthday simple this year. The boys and I headed out to Lynnhaven mall to play, but first surprised daddy at work with a balloon and some candy :) We went to the mall play area for a while, and daddy met us at the mall for his lunch break. They rode the neauseated tea cup on the carousel and then we ate lunch at Chick-Fil-A.
