He is loosing his hair on the top.... He is chubby and growing fast...... 10lbs 10oz.

Lately

Lately Shaley and Trey have slept alot... Grown alot...

Mason got the chance to be the STAR STUDENT for a week...

Here is a picture that he drew of himself for the class...

We have discovered that Chase gets car sick....

The twins have started to sleep better at night. We feed them at 10 pm and put them to bed around 11pm and they sleep till 4 or 5 am. We have been trying to figure out their stomach issues with the doctor and Shaley has a GI test scheduled soon. Hopefully they will be able to find out why she spits out her nose, which then causes her to quite breathing. Making it a scary time. We have tried different formulas on both babies and that made the problems worse. Shaley just got weighed yesterday and weighs 9 lbs 2 oz, she is 21 inches tall. Trey weighs 10 lbs 10 oz he is 22 inches tall.

This Past Year Recap

This past year:
Darren is still working at Home Furnishing Direct as the Manager. He is still the First Counsler in our Bishopric. He is still driving our 2001 Toyota Tacoma Truck. He broke his foot playing basketball with Mason.

Ashley still stays at home with the kids. Had to get alot of dental work on her teeth. Found out she was pregnant with Twins. Spent alot of time resting because it was a higher risk pregnancy and had alot of contractions/growing pains. Finding out about the twins ment they needed a Mini Van so it would be easier to put them in and better gas mileage. Got put in as the Relief Society Secretary. Then about in Oct had to stay in Mesa and await the birth of the twins. Finally on Oct 27 at 6:39 &6:41 the twins were born C-Section. I now am trying to handle all four kids in the day.

Mason 6yrs old is in the first grade. He played Baseball, Soccer, took Swimming lessons and took piano Lessons. He has been a big helper with his brothers and sister. He lost some teeth and is still wiggling more.

Chase 3yrs old has started preschool at Flip City. He hasn't really wanted to go but likes it once he gets in the gym. He has been growing fast. He likes to help out with the babies. He has learn to do alot more things by himself to help out mom.

Trey was born Oct 27 @ 6:30pm weighing in at 4lbs 10 oz. He is now starting to grow very fast. He loves to be held and is a very fussy baby.

Shaley was born Oct 27 @ 6:41pm weighing in at 3lbs 15 oz. She is also starting to grow but she is still very tiny. She can suck on her pacifier alot better than brother. So usually she has to wait her turn to be feed second. Brother can't wait.

This year has gone by fast for us. We are glad to see what the new year will bring to our family.

Photos























We had some photos taken by a lady that I was told was so good and cheap. Well she Charged me $150 and they are terrible. I got a total of 25 pictures and 6 of them are just of the babies feet. I got 2 pictures of my family and 2 pictures of all 4 kids. I called her to see about getting any more and she tells me that she only gives what she edits. Well I have learned my lesson. I will only go with someone that has been used by someone ALOT. I know have to get new pictures done again and know that I just missed out on the new born look. The babies are now 2 months old and are growing great. Shaley weighs 7 lbs 14 oz and Trey weighs 8 lbs 10 oz. They had to get shots there last apt and did really well. They did cry but just for a little bit.

New Year.. New Church Class

Today is Sunday JANUARY 1 2012 That means that it is time for a new primary class. Chase is now in SUNBEAMS. Mason is now in CTR 7 (I believe). They gots these suits for Christmas. Fingers crossed that Chase does good at going to his new big boy class. He was excited because he did not like nursery at all and was excited to see Mason in Primary.



We were joking with them that people were going to call them Brother Sparks because they were looking like there dad. Chase does not want anyone to call him that. Mason thinks it is so cool that he has a suit like his dad has to wear. Before they had even left for church Mason was already saying how hot he was. We will see if they last wearing the jacket the whole time.
Grandpa Norton with the kids

Amazing Jakes..... Dec 29 we had a get together and the kids had fun. Chase surprised us by going on all the rides he could go on.





Mason and Remy just went off and did their own thing so we didn't get any pictures but this one





Siboney was even a good sport and went on the rides we didn't want to go on to please Chase.



It was alot of fun to be together but we did miss Tyler and Mollie who stayed in Utah because she is pregnant and having contractions early on. She is due in April with a girl.

Christmas 2011

This year we stayed home for Christmas since we had just had the twins. We didn't want to travel and try to spend the night with them, since we wake up every 3 hours still. On Friday Dec 23 it was Mason's last day of school before the holiday break. We get a phone call to come and get him because he had thrown up in the class room. Well that was only the beginning. He had the FLU for the rest of Friday. Then on Christmas Eve he still wasn't quite himself. But he was able to enjoy the party we had with the Schenks that we had over at our house. Earlier he went with Darren and Chase to pick me out some presents. He was too sick the day before that him and Chase just gave Darren what Chase had choosen. Mason also wasn't able to go get Chase something, so we had wrapped something and put it from Mason. Christmas Eve we played games, ate Nachos Bell Grande and had yummy Cheese Cake. Then we gave the boys NEW PJS.....


SANTA CAME.....


This gift is from Mason to mom & dad.... It was an ornament he made....


This was from Chase to mom & dad.... It was an ornament that he had made...







Now the Present from the boys to Darren. Chase went to the store and when we got home I told him it was a secret and not to tell. The first thing he does when he walks in the house... TELLS.







Darren took the boys to buy my stuff and they talked to Chase alot that he didn't tell except Mason did tell me one of the presents because he wanted to have it....


This was it....


Chase wanted to get me a barbie and so Darren took him to the dollar store and he found the Cinderella statue....


Mason chose a watch...


Present time for the boys....
