In Tucson Christmas Day with more cousins at Lala and Pop's



Palmer was obsessed with this glow mask, so fun!

Rowan's Christmas Party

Rowan always has a Holiday party at school, this time Santa was there. He had 2 lists of things he wanted from Santa, and all he told him he wanted was "magic beans" these pointless little painted bouncy beans... so random! He knew all the Christmas songs and loved the party time with Santa.

Radio City Rockettes

I LOVE NYC during Christmas, so to see the Rockettes here in Phoenix was quite fun for me. We took all the girls in the family, and Rowan...! He loved it!

Rowan, Dreya, Kari, Sophia, Ava

Some exciting news...

So if you read my blog, you can remember back in October I blogged about "My Lagging Weeks..." Well after my race, lots of running, Palmer being sick, I figured my body was telling me to take a break from the gym. Turns out I am pregnant with baby #3! Crazy how your body knows what is going on before you do! So I officially found out today, December 12th, and I am due July 6th, the same week and my 2 boys and I were born, how scary! I am praying for a girl, but hope for the best a healthy baby. This will be my 3rd and final child, being pregnant so far is not nearly as much fun as the past 2... so with 3, my back seat is full, and I hope I will be able to take on 3 Sparks!

Sparks Family Christmas Pictures

Every year we have our annual Family Photo Shoot, mainly for the fun Christmas Cards. It seems to get harder each year to get all of my boys to look at the camera at the same time and smile:) Here are a few them my BF Stacey took of us on that freezing Arizona evening!

Palmer has taken over as the worst picture taker of my 3 boys... he wouldn't look at the camera!


Palmer was needing his 2 BFF's, his binki and blanket...

I love my pictures I have with my boys, they are so rare as I am usually the one taking the pictures.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2010!

We had some fun at the Gilbert Pumpkin Patch, trying to feel like fall here...


Rowan had an adorable Thanksgiving Show at school, he was very proud to be a Pilgrim.

Loved holding the mic and after his part, he shared some extra words of his own


We had a relazing Thanksgiving with Kolby's family. Enjoyed my Turkey meal, favorite sweet potatoes, and lots of pumpkin pie... my fav. It was nice to have Kolby home for a few days to hang with his boys.

Kolby took our little family in his family plane to Sedona. He is an amazing pilot!


The boys did great in the plane, Rowan had to be the Co-Pilot

Fall In SD

We Love SD and wish we could live there, our kids love the outdoors more than anything. We had a nice relaxing weekend away...

Palmer LOVES the beach, just like I do!

The boys play together for the most part, Rowan is the Boss


Rowan will idolize his BFF Dad forever

We had to take Rowan to the Dinosaur Museum, he is obsessed with the Dinos.

My lagging weeks...

So the last few weeks have been more or less of a blurrrrr for me. We have been out of town, and out of touch. Now sweet Palmer has been sick for almost 2 weeks, and haven't been taking him anywhere but doctors! He is almost 100% better, little stinker, and I am feeling like getting my life back to normal... going to the gym and seeing my best friends!
I have so many posts to upload, but our computer has been down for almost 2 months and can't upload any pictures. Either Kolby is holding out for a new one this Christmas, or he just doesn't want to spend the money on a nice new one we could really use!
The Posts will come soon, stay tuned, just in time for Thanksgiving and more craziness...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2010!

Halloween was another fun night with family and friends, and lots of yummy candy!

Rowan REALLY wanted to be Shamu, and its all he talked about, until I failed to win on eBay 2 times, and couldn't find one big enough for him, he was a little upset. But he settled for Optimus Prime, because his cousin Greyson, his best friend was the same. Poor Palmer had no say, I wanted him to be a fish if I could find Rowan the Shamu costume, but we were out of luck. So Palmer got the Pumpkin Uni, after 1 wash it was a little tight...

He saw himself, and just stood there, looking puzzled like that was his friend... fellow pumpkin!

He was happy just to be out and to eat candy

Look at all those adorable costumes!

Las Vegas Ragnar Relay Race

What a FUN girls trip! Hard running, but way fun... nothing like stayin up all night in Vegas!


12 Moms, 37 1/2 kids, 24 hours of straight running, we are crazy!

We were VAN #2, had a blast:)

It was hot, I was so tired of running...can you tell??!!

I was the last runner, bringin it home for our team, The Wicked Witches of the West!

Fall Break in Utah

What a wonderful time of year to be in Utah! The leaves are all changing, its cool, and there is SO much to do there with your kids!

We stayed with Jenesey's family. It was just us 2 Mom's and all 5 kids, wild week!






My old BFF from high school, Kristin and her sweet Olivia

Kolby and I left the kids for an amazing weekend in Newport Beach! Kolby was a groomsman in his friend Mike Ratta's Wedding.
