Sparks PreChristmas Party

Waiting for Santa to come........... Still waiting.................

He made it just in time to find out what Mason wanted.............

Chase wanted nothing to do with him............ And as you can tell santa and Chase got tangled in the beard.

They had some games for each family to play and Mason would want to do everyone ......

Chase dancing with the Elves................

Darren and Mason playing the next game.......... Chase watching.

Garrett and Mason doing the marshmellow game...............

Then it was time for the pinata..........Chase gave it a hit...........

Mason gave it a try..................

Then finally it broke............Candy time................

Chase making sure that he got all the candy he could get............

Then that night Mason said that he wasn't feeling good but we just put him to bed thinking that he was just tired when all of a sudden he woke up after 30min of sleep in throw up. He continued throwing up till we left on Sunday at 10:30am. So 24 hours of barf and then a 5 hour drive home. We made it back without anymore throwing up. It was a fun weekend but a bumber that Mason got sick. I am so glad for Darren and his parents for helping with Mason.

Ginger Bread House

Mason AND Chase getting ready to Decorate the house........... Doing the work ..............

Chase decided that he would try some, instead of decorate...........

Finishing up and then after this picture the candy went everywhere and I got mad because they started to make a mess so we finished and I didn't even get a finished look.

Mason had alot of fun doing it and wants to eat it everyday.

Preschool Program Dec.18, 2009

Mason walking holding on to Shacee and then the teacher Mrs. Margret. Mason and Shacee getting ready to start jingle bells.......... they also sang a song called the continents.........

Getting ready to sing Rudulp The Red Nose Reindeer...........

Then they had to do kartwheels and summer salts as part of there proformance.

Just a picture of MASON after he was done ........He loves preschool and his favorite part is the gymnastics.

Recent Photos

I realized I had no pictures of the boys decorating the tree so we just took photos by the tree that had been up already 2 weeks and so it is starting to fall apart. Mason and his footballs, that kids is always playing sports in the house.

Mason and Chase by the tree. I think Mason was trying to keep Chase still.

Chase by himself. We have alot of wrestling going on in this house. These boys play so rough and this time Chase decided he was going to be the one to start it...........

This is Addi and Mason saying goodbye after they came by and saw us. We love our Cousins.

THE SANTA PHOTOS

I just wanted to post the different photos I was able to get with Santa! Chase would keep trying to give back his candy cane to Santa and even tried to feed him it.

Chase was bring the candy cane back to him.......

We were able to get another photo of Chase looking toward the camera somewhat.

Santa was really nice this year and told the boys to make sure they shared the toys that Santa brings them. We will see if Mason keeps the promise he made.

Getting Ready For Christmas

Chase would test the lights for us. Over and Over again. Finally he got some working lights....... He came running over to me and got me to show me what he had done. He would say: WOW!!!!!

Darren and I decided to put up some lights for the Holiday since we would be home. We didin't want to nail in the house because it would take to long so we did what we could do.......

Today Dec 5 2009 we had the annual Christmas Parade. Marlene had come up the day before to work at the store and so we were able to have her join us in the parade watching. It was so nice to have an extra person to help out with Mason since I was dealing with Chase.

Then after the Parade we went to Clarkdale where Santa was there. I wanted a picture of them seperate but Chase wouldn't sit on Santa's lap so we got them to stand by him.

Chase loved santa only by standing by him. Mason was able to ask Santa for a Nerf Gun (which is something new he is wanting) and an Electric Guitar. We will have to see what Santa brings him.

THANKSGIVING

The boys were ready to go to Thatcher for Thanksgiving and they were waiting by the door with their bears and so I thought that it was to cute not to take a photo. When it came to loading up we didn't get Chase's bear and he was crying and needed a nap and so we made Mason give him his bear to fall asleep. Mason tried to take it and Chase woke up so we told Mason that Chase gets to keep it for the ride and when we looked back alittle bit later this is what we found. Nice to know that they can share--- atleast while they are sleeping.

Grandma and Grandpa Sparks had a train that the kids loved and Mason is on it with Gunner while grandma had Chase.

Chase loved the ride. He never wanted to get out.

Then he was fussy and Grandma was making whip cream so Chase was able to taste the finished product. I would say he liked it.

We had a fun trip even though it was a very quick one. We were able to get a Sparks family photo that was long over due. Mason loved playing with his cousins and didn't want to leave.

SOCCER PARTY

They are all done with soccer and it was time to Party! They went to RiverFront Park and had pizza, cupcakes, and lots of playing time.Then it was time for the trophies.......... Mason getting his trophy.

Mason with his trophy...........He also got a pen to put on your shirt that said soccer.

Here is the team! Left to right: Tommy, Mason, Evan, Luke, Isabella

I tried to take a photo of the trophy because it was really cool but it doesn't photograph well

It is bobble head and a bobble leg. (sounds funny but the leg even moves) Mason is so sad that soccer is over and we are kind of sad as well since that was something to get us out of the house. We can't wait for next year to see how much he improves because he loves soccer now and is very fast and good at it.

Mason wanted to take a picture of Chase ready for church............. Mason and Chase ready to go.......Almost.......

Chase having a snack before we left.............

CATCHING UP .... a little

Mason trying to keep his eyes open while he smiles. Chase throwing one of his tantrums. On his forhead is the bump from hitting the tile the other day.

I took this picture and was worried that he was going to throw himself backwards onto the bike.

Then today I went to the Gingerbread house up here where they have a childrens store that they sale organic made clothes. They had them 75% off at retail of $50 but at closing time they had fill a bag for $15. So I was able to stuff in a grocery bag 2 pairs of shoes, 2 belts, 13 pants, 7 shirts......It looks messy on the back of the couch but I was so excited.

These are the shoes that I got Chase. I just think he looks cute in them.

Just to catch up on life: Mason finished soccer last weekend. He got a certifcate at church for passing off the 13 Article of Faiths and when the Bishop called his name to go up in Sacrament Meeting, he got scared and started crying and wouldn't go. So he thinks he is a tough guy but he sure can get shy.

Chase has started to say some words that we can understand but others may not. He loves to give kisses and he is a climber. He climbs on top of the paino.

Mason weighs 36.6 lbs at 4 years old while Chase weighs 31lbs at 19 months.
