She and Parker were married by 1991, and by September 12, 1994, they gave birth to their first child in Rosenberg, Germany, a daughter who they named Calyx.
Three years later, on September 29, 1997, they went on to have their son, Powers, who went by his middle name Bo, in Honolulu, Hawaii. After having their children, Julie made the decision to stay home full-time to raise the kids while Parker continued working with the army. Growing up, Calix was known as a model student and an amazing artist.
She was known as having an energizing, uplifting spirit. She was a tenacious athlete, excelling at both cross country and track. She always just had this intense desire to learn and work hard towards her goals.

When she wasn't running for sport or reading Harry Potter, she worked hard to put her efforts towards making a positive impact on the world. She helped the school raise money for the American Cancer Society and often spoke of how badly she just wanted to help her fellow human. Beau was known as a very likable and easygoing person.
He made friends easily, making sure to maintain his relationships even with friends from overseas. He was very intelligent, with this unique ability to retain any information that came his way. He was known to be empathetic, intuitive, and funny. He loved video games, but you would most often find him outside playing soccer, street hockey, or football.
He was a natural born leader, always making a positive impact on his teammates over the years.
