It’s been a few days and I thought I had better update the blog before my Momma calls or sends me an email reminding me.
Well, Saturday we made a trip to the recycle center to haul off some junk. It’s always nice to spend your Saturday at a place with junk everywhere and watching lot of odd folks. Before I get hate mail, all people that recycle and people that work there are not all odd. However, you never know what you will see; there are a lot of interesting people in this world. I guess the man that won the “Most Odd” award was a gentleman with a t-shirt on that was way too short and tight for him. His pants were held up by suspenders. The kicker is, his belly hung down from under the shirt and over the button of his pants. To paint a better picture…we saw skin…and it was NOT pretty! My question is, did his Momma not teach him about appearance. I mean, you don’t have to get dressed up everywhere you go but wearing a shirt that covers ones belly is a must in my book! Momma always said, “The way you, Tim and your Daddy look when you leave this house is a reflection of me”! Oh, if I had a dime for every time I heard that one. Hmm, that could be a whole other blog…I can see the title now…Things Momma Said! Ok, I didn’t mean to say all that but you know me, sometimes, I just can’t help myself. (Oh, I know Larry will leave a comment on that one!)
Sunday we went to the early service at church. After lunch we painted our front porch railing and columns. It was a nice day for it. It looks so much better. Normally it’s me who is writing the ‘to-do’ list but this time it was Larry. I was SO not wanting to paint another thing inside or outside of this house! He was right, it needed it, so we painted and I’m glad we did. It looks great! Later Sunday night we got a wild hair. We have an old wood chair in our bedroom that has ugly fabric on it not to mention it don’t match our room, or any of our rooms. It is hard to explain what it looks like but anyway, we started taking off the fabric and the million staples that were holding it on. I’m going to refinish it. Like I need another project! What am I thinkin’? This might be a project to be finished once we get to Manhattan!
Monday…Larry is back at work and the kids are at their moms so it was just me and Molly. I cleaned out our closet; packed up stuff, made a give away pile, straightened things, etc. trying to make it look nice and big. It took a looong time! After dinner, Larry and I took the knobs off the kitchen cabinets, scrubbed the cabinets and put on new knobs. What a difference new knobs make!
Well, that catches everyone up. I know, not too exciting. Have a great week!

Friday...
Well, today has been semi productive but also sad. This was the kids last day with us. They should be staying the entire month of July. I know this probably sounds terrible but you would just have to be in our shoes to understand but…we have got to get the final projects complete and the house cleaned top to bottom so we can begin to show it. With four kids, it’s hard to do what needs to be done and keep things tidy. There are two families that are interested in the house and we want to have them come before they make other decisions. I am so hopeful that by next weekend that we can show the house to those families and if they are not serious then maybe we can have an open house the following weekend.
Back to the kids. They were sad when they left tonight. They did not want to go and also they were sad that this might be the last time they would stay with us in ‘this’ house. Since I come along and made this house into a comfortable home, they love the house almost as much as they love being with us. They have room here and are not so cramped. They are very cramped at their moms and have limited TV and very little computer time. Here, they have plenty of space, satellite and ample computer time. It’s two totally different atmospheres...from A to Z. Ok enough of that…just please keep them in your prayers!
We are SO tired. It is SO time to go to bed!!!!! Love to all and more later.
Kdp
Prayer Request: Please continue to remember Tim and Connie during your prayer time. Aunt Carol really needs prayer and lifting up. I mentioned Sandra a few days ago…she still needs pray for strength, guidance and peace.

Update of Birthday Fireworks...
I just had to give an update before going to bed. If you read the blog I did earlier you know that we were going to shoot the remainder of fireworks that were left over from the 4th. Well, Marissa is terrified of fireworks. She thinks they are pretty but she don't like to be around them. She had rather watch them on TV, where it's safe! Well, I had a chair in the field watching the fireworks and guess where Marissa was? Hiding behind my chair! I got up to take pictures from another angle and took her picture. She was not crazy about me taking her picture but who could resist?! (Marissa aka Missy or Itty Bitty)
How Cute! My Baby Girl!
Happy Bithday My Prince
Molly's helping daddy play ball on his birthday!Today is my precious, handsome husband’s birthday. Happy birthday my Prince! After dinner tonight we gave him gifts from the kids and me. Later tonight we are going to shoot off fireworks that we have left over from the 4th.
Who will get the ball first...Molly or Daddy?
Mommy...I got the ball!
Today I got belated birthday gifts from Amy and Sandra today. Larry said that it was not fair that I got gifts on his birthday. I laughed and opened them anyway. (Of course he was joking)
Today the kids played water whiffle ball again. Larry and I were out there with them and this time we took Molly out with us. She was SOOOOO funny! She ran and ran and ran and ran!!!! She ran so fast that she kept tripping over herself and falling. We put her in the little pools but of course she did not like that and she hopped out quickly. We tried to get her to run down the slip-n-slide but she was not too excited about that either. She is fluffy when she is dry but when she is wet…she looks tiny and oh so funny! I am telling you…we all laughed until we almost pee’d our pants. Every time the ball was hit or someone threw it, Molly thought they were playing with her and she would run after it. She also ran for the bat when they would throw it after hitting. FUNNY! The kids had a blast again today. I tell you…I paid $5 for each of the 3 bases, $10 for the slip-n-slide home base and $10 for a 6 pc ball set. That was $35 well spent! The fun they had was priceless.
Well, it’s getting close to show time so I need to get some things done before we start the show. I am just praying that I don’t have to run from a ball of flame tonight. I don’t want 2 burns on my arm like Beckie got on the 4th. Also, our friends Randy and Sharon were shooting off fireworks on the 5th and one went in their rabbit and geese shed and burned down. So, I am always a little nervous about having fireworks close to my house. We need to sell it, not burn it down.
Talk again soon…
Parr Fun Day!!!!!
Our 4...
Catherine...
Laura...
Sean...
Marissa...
The Entire Gang...
WOW…Today was “Parr Fun Day”! What is that you ask…it is a day for the kids and the kids inside Larry & me. We wound up with 12 kids! There were supposed to be more but there were a few that could not make it at the last minute. Also our neighbors could not come at the last minute and we just hated that, they are great kids.
The day started with us preparing for the party. We were running around of course. One by one the kids started piling in. Ok, first a run down of the kids who were here; (our 4) Catherine, Laura, Sean, Marissa…then add Chelsie, Jordan, Michael, Lonnie, Zack, Mariah, Morgan & Kaye Lynn. They played water whoofle ball…OMG…so fun and so funny! Ok, the bases were blow up swimming pools filled with water and home plate was a slip-n-slide that ended in a pool. Larry was the pitcher and I was the picture taker. We ALL had a blast! They slid into the bases and of course water went everywhere! I kept filling the bases up. Catherine did a split with one foot in second base and the other on the ground. On opposite teams, Laura and Marissa were 3rd base girls. Every time I looked over at them all I could see was their heads; they were laying in the pool. They all fell, turned flips, done splits…you name it, and they did it. Of course they were ALL starving! We had dinner around 5pm. We had hamburgers and hotdogs. After we ate we started a water balloon toss. You know, where you have a partner and you toss balloons back and forth. Each time you toss it, you take a step back and you get farther and farther away. If your balloon pops, you’re out. The team the furthest away without popping the balloon wins. That went on for a while! Then we had desert. Oh my goodness…those kids ate a LOT! Then they went back to the ball game area but wound up spraying each other with the water hose and sliding on the slip-n-slide.
Sean had a baseball game at 8pm so at 7 we had them to slow down and get ready to go. Larry left with Lonnie and Sean to take them to the game. I took the others along with Noah, our neighbor that we so wanted to be at the party. Noah and his sister Hannah had things to do and couldn’t make it to the party. (I have a feeling that they will be here on Thursday catching up on what they missed.) Anyway, Noah wanted to go to Sean’s game and then spend the night. Mariah was going to spend the night with Marissa. Well, I was taking Kaye Lynn home and she did not want to go home. SO, she is spending the night too.
When we got home from the game they wanted some dirt pudding and watermelon. They cleaned out the dirt pudding! I made TWO batches and ALL of it is G-O-N-E! About an hour later, they all come to us and said they were hungry! What?! Hungry!? So, they had Little Debbie’s, Doritos, cookies and popcorn. (Of course they did not all have all of those things but that is what was on the snack menu.) As of now there are 3 girls in the living room on the sofa and air mattress. Cat is in her own room. Laura, Sean and Noah are in the kids’ area in the basement playing video games and will wind up falling to sleep watching TV down there. 7 kids total…and Mommy and Daddy are pooped!
It was such a great day for all of us. We wanted to do something special for the kids before we sell the house. I think we accomplished that! Larry and I are pleased with the way the day went. The kids were too. We are so glad that they had a great day and hope that it is memorable. I want them to be in their 20’s, 30’s 40’s, etc. and be telling the story of today!
That’s it for “Parr Fun Day”! I can’t even begin to tell all that happen or all the fun. Anyway, it was good for the kids…and good for Larry and me.

Shopping Spree
This is the kids on the 4th.
Larry was on leave a few days last week and 4 days this week but he had to work today. I took Laura and Marissa with me to Lee’s Summit and Independence. I had some shopping to do for some odds and ins we needed to finish up with our home décor/staging our house. We left home just before 9am and we got back home around 5:30pm. What a long day! On the way home we were counting the number of stops we made including getting fuel, lunch, paying my speeding ticket plus the shopping…we made 14 stops before pulling into our driveway!!!!! I had to do some returns to Kohl’s and an exchange. Of course they did not have what I needed for the exchange which was for Laura! So, that leads to looking at clothes…and buying clothes! Of course I have trained them well…Check The CLEARENCE Rack First! We got Laura a cute pair of shorts and shirt. Marissa got some adorable plaid shorts but we had to go elsewhere for a matching top but we got one. So they have new outfits to wear to the “Parr Fun Day”. I am VERY even with the spending so of course Cat and Sean will be going to get new stuff within the next couple days.
We found great deals at Hobby Lobby which is one of my favorite places. We went to 2 Wal-Marts!? You should have seen us at the first one…I had a buggy full of stuff including an artificial tree. (The kids laugh at me because I call it a buggy and not a shopping cart…Whatever!) Most of the items were large and you would have just had to be there to see how funny we looked. We had a hard time pushing the buggy and seeing around the tree! Too funny! Of course I had no intention of cooking dinner so our last and final stop, stop #14, was to pick up pizza. After dinner Larry and I headed out to Lowe’s. UGH! I’m tired of shopping and spending!! However, we had 2 coupons for $10 off so we rang up separate and used them both. I LOVE to save money!
Tuesday will be filled with running around getting ready for the Fun Day on Wed. (We moved it from Tues. to Wed.) Of course we have our normal to-do list filled with house stuff. Like I said in the last blog or two, we are on a down hill slide and things are slowly coming together. We have one more major project to finish which is getting our shower door ordered and installed. Long story about that, I won’t go there, I’ll get mad! We got our hardware ordered for the kitchen cabinets. All the stuff left to do are little things but they have to get done.
I feel terrible because I’ve not had time to stay in touch with family and friend but I know everyone understands. I also know that you all will be glad it’s completed so I will stop bloggin’ about our house junk. Just think, next you can look forward to me griping about trying to sell it! Hahahaha!
I love you all!

The 4th
I hope that everyone had a great 4th! We grilled country style ribs and we also had baked beans, slaw, pasta salad and of course mac-n-cheese for the kids. We had home made peach ice cream for desert. Yum Yum! My friend Beckie came to share the day with us and of course our 6 plus Sparky and Terry. When Beckie got here Molly went crazy and ran to her. She brought us a BEAUTIFUL vase of flowers; red, white and blue of course, with a metal flag coming up from the center. She also had HUGE patriotic balloon. Attached was a sweet card. What a special friend and Nana for Molly. After we had dinner Aunt Carol came along with her daughter Tammy (Larry’s first cousin), Tammy’s husband Jasper and 2 daughters; Amanda and Autumn. Oh and Amanda’s boyfriend who I don’t think spoke a word. Anyway, they brought fireworks to add to what we had already bought. Oh and they brought the most yummy brownies! They also brought h/m ice cream. Mmmm, mmmmm, mmmm!
Next came the fireworks. Larry and Jasper did the setting up and lighting. We did the watching and picture taking. I was not in the field in the beginning but one of the first rockets that was set off went in the wrong direction and chased the others around. Later, the kids were all sitting in the back of a pick up truck. Me, Beckie, Sean and Zach (Seans friend, our neighbor) were much closer to the activities. Well…It was the next to the last one to be set…Laura and Autumn had walked over to where we were standing…1,000 fireworks went off from this HUGE pack…colors shooting up one after another…HOWEVER…a few of them went a little off track and headed for us! We screamed and ran knocking over lawn chairs! Beckie said I think I got hit. She and I went inside and yep…she had 2 burn marks on her upper arm. I doctored her up. Larry and I felt SO bad.
Everybody left sometime after midnight. We were pooped and dropped into bed.
We were up early the next morning. Good News…The trim in our house is done! A family friend, Jim, came Sat. morning to get started and came back Sun. to finish. He has a full time job and was doing this for us on the side so he had to get it done today. Yeahhh! One BIG project finished. We are getting clooosseerrrrrr! As he worked Larry and I moved furniture out of his way and then back to it’s normal place. We have also cleaned out the storage building behind our house and cleaned in our garage and built a couple shelved in there to tidy things up a bit. We did other stuff too…lots of small jobs.
I am saying this because of the next paragraph. I don’t give last names on my blog for privacy reasons. Also, when it comes to anything involving the military, I will never give dates of deployments, last names, ranks, etc. due to privacy/security reasons. I hope you all understand. When we pray, God knows the details and the exact ones we are praying for.
Prayer request for Tim and Connie; Tim left today for Ft. Riley for training before deploying a few months from now. Of course they are both having a hard time with the separation. Please pray for both of them to have strength through this deployment and for Tim’s safety once deployed.
Also, please pray for the safety of one of Larry’s best friends, Mike, who is in Iraq.

Happy Birthday Momma!
Momma's new purchase! A Honda Civic. They have only had the truck during their travels and since they are settling down she needed a car. So there is her new baby. Oh wait...I'M THE BABY! I might be 36 years old but I am STILL Momma's baby!
Happy Birthday to you…Happy Birthday to you…Happy Birthday dear Momma…Happy Birthday to YOU! Happy Birthday to my Momma! She was born July 2nd 19 something! I know her year of birth but I can’t reveal it because as of now I’m still in the will and I would like to keep it that way!!! I’m JOKING! I love and adore her and I am so thankful that I am her daughter.
Today was a running kids here and there…then another place…and another…etc. kind of day. I’ve taken the kids for lunch a few times and Cat was not with us so today I took Catherine to lunch. I finally made it back home around 3pm. I cut Catherines hair...like 5” off the length and lots of layers. OMG, what a change! Cutting her hair is like doing 2 hair cuts. She has SO much hair! The difference in her is amazing. This is the shortest she has ever had it. I think it looks great and she loves it too. I am SO glad she decided to cut it.
We did a few things around the house then we were off to a make up baseball game for Sean. Oh, it was bad again. Their team is not the best but once again we cheered them on like they were major league quality. Right when the game was over Sean ran to me asking if he could spend the night with his friend Lonnie. About a minute later Laura came to me and said, Olivia (Lonnies sister) wants me to spend the night, can I? So Sean and Laura are off to friends houses which happen to be the same house. Cat wanted to stay and watch a game that some of her friends were playing in. So, Me and Larry took Marissa and headed home. We decided to make a pit stop at Dairy Queen. You know, for Marissa since she was stuck with us. Haha…Larry loves ice cream…that’s the real story. When we got there we saw one of Seans coaches and his family so we sat with them for a while.
Cat and Marissa just came to say goodnight. Missy (Marissa) has come to me 4 times to give night kisses and one of the times she gave me 2. She is sleepy and being loving which is ok. Soon I wont be getting as many hugs and kisses from them.
Since it is night time and I know most of you will read this during the day…Have a blessed day! I love you all!

Tuesday...Just another day? Nope!
Tuesday…ANOTHER busy day in the Parr house!
Larry finished bush hoggin’ the fields and I finished cuttin’ the front and back yard and the area between the house and barn. (Of course IF any of you had actually visited me you would know the areas I am talking about. Only Momma and Cher know.) After Larry finished his part I used the mower to go over a strip that the kids use to go to the neighbors. Finally, all the grass and fields are mowed! YIPPIE!
After dinner, Larry and I hung new lights in our kitchen; one over the table, one over the island and one in front of the fridge area. (hard to explain but again, Momma and Cher knows) Yep, I am going to keep repeating that they are the ONLY visitors we have had from GA. Other than being an Army Officer, Larry is also an electrician…taught by Sparky. Anyway, we were hanging lights and Laura and Catherine came in the kitchen for a snack. Cat kept telling Laura to get her snack and come watch TV. Nope, Laura was not moving. She said, “No, I’m staying for the show. Dad and Kim are funny to watch and they have 2 more lights to go”. She giggled at us forever! I guess we were a little funny but we were SO tired from a long days work and at that point, we just wanted the lights to be installed and workin’! In the mean time, Marissa is at her friend Mirah’s house and Sean is at the neighbors shooting bottle rockets! He was with Noah and Zack and having a great time. Oh my goodness…boys!
Ok, this is not all that went on in our day...the kids went to the community pool, we worked on refinishing Seans bed...oh the list goes on and on. You get the picture...you can relate...there is NO way to relate the activities of everyday life of a family of 6!!!!!
So now I am typing this blog and my sweet, tired husband is sleeping away. My Momma sent me an email earlier so I knew that I had to continue updating the blog. The subject of the email was; Old Age. She said, and I quote, “Well, I’m glad you got enough energy to blog. The last one was your birthday and I thought, ‘she’s gotten too old to write’. She followed it with a Ha Ha but we all know that in “Mother term” that means….”Get off your bootie and let me know what’s goin’ on with my baby, my baby-in-law and my grand babies”! Mothers! That’s all I’m gonna say about that!
I guess it’s time I join my hubby and get some sleep. Tomorrow, I am sure I will have some new info for you and maybe a new saying or quote from the kids.
Coming soon to a computer near you…The 4th of July at the Parr house…AND…a “Parr Fun Day”. On the 6th the kids are going to invite up to 5 friends each and we are going to cook out and have fun with “Water woffle ball ( I know I spelled that wrong), water balloons, lots of food, etc., etc., etc. I will report on the festivities and hope to have a picture or two.
I love you all and I am glad that you keep up with us via our blog.
Love to all from...The Prince and The Peach
Larry finished bush hoggin’ the fields and I finished cuttin’ the front and back yard and the area between the house and barn. (Of course IF any of you had actually visited me you would know the areas I am talking about. Only Momma and Cher know.) After Larry finished his part I used the mower to go over a strip that the kids use to go to the neighbors. Finally, all the grass and fields are mowed! YIPPIE!
After dinner, Larry and I hung new lights in our kitchen; one over the table, one over the island and one in front of the fridge area. (hard to explain but again, Momma and Cher knows) Yep, I am going to keep repeating that they are the ONLY visitors we have had from GA. Other than being an Army Officer, Larry is also an electrician…taught by Sparky. Anyway, we were hanging lights and Laura and Catherine came in the kitchen for a snack. Cat kept telling Laura to get her snack and come watch TV. Nope, Laura was not moving. She said, “No, I’m staying for the show. Dad and Kim are funny to watch and they have 2 more lights to go”. She giggled at us forever! I guess we were a little funny but we were SO tired from a long days work and at that point, we just wanted the lights to be installed and workin’! In the mean time, Marissa is at her friend Mirah’s house and Sean is at the neighbors shooting bottle rockets! He was with Noah and Zack and having a great time. Oh my goodness…boys!
