Baseball season is approaching!

So Nolan has been practicing in our backyard when Dada gets home from work. He truly enjoys his time with Dada in the evenings! Today he said to me "Momma, I'm really sad that Dada isn't here right now." Heart breaking! Too bad someone's gotta make the money around here! Okay, back to baseball. Then, we went last weekend to the ball park with Uncle Chris, Aunt Laura, Eli and Ava. Nolan had a great time and he said that he wishes he had a uniform like Eli's! :) Eli will get to play on a team this season since he is old enough. Poor Nolan will have to wait a while longer!




Not sure what this was all about...



Good hit Nolan!

Eli

Good throw Eli!

Trying to get Nolan out!

Nolan needed a little help with the heavier bat!

Eli's up to bat...

Baseball chat time

It looks like they are going to beat someone up, or at least Nolan does!
Eli running the bases, he must have hit a homer!

Happy Valentines Day!

Hope everyone had a great Valentines Day like we did here at the Sparks house! Patrick made some yummy steaks, Asparagus, Squash, and baked potato! YUMMY!!!


Adeline enjoyed her card!

Momma and Addie~

The whole gang. Happy Valentines Day!

Adeline is 6 months old!

Yes, it's true...time flies when your going out of your mind with a fussy baby! Ha! No, she has really turned into a great baby. Still a little finicky at times, but worth it because she is such a cutie pie! She can make us all light up with her smile! She really gets going with Nolan sometimes. She just LOVES to watch him and laugh at him.


Adeline started crawling a few weeks ago, just about two reps forward and then she decided that army crawling was more her thing. But just this last weekend, she changed her mind. She is still unaware of her capabilities but she has made it across the room to get to me. I'll post a video soon! She has also started pulling herself up on her crib (time to lower the crib matress) and today she officially pulled herself up to a standing position - in the bathtub no doubt! She was in her little bath seat which helped her from not slipping. She will be one to watch after just like Nolan. Our children are little rebels! Lastly, Addie started solids this month and she is doing pretty good with that. She likes to stick her fingers in her mouth after I feed her so she always makes a mess!!!


I had several little "photo sessions" with her in the past month with our new camera and some snap shots from our other camera, here are some of the favorites...


Sweet Smile...


Here she is trying to take her brothers face off!

For a while she was doing this thing with her pacie. It was too funny to turn around and see her looking like this, but we decided to get the bigger pacie so that she doesn't choke herself!


My baby girl reaching out for me! "Hold me momma, please!!!"
This one I loved but it is a little out of focus...

Lil' Stinker!

I used to sleep like this when I was a baby too!


First taste of food other than momma milk!
Gimme some more!!!


Lovin' the wind in my face!

Gettin' some dada lovin'!
Hi!

Cutie Patootie!




Again, lil' stinker! Ahh...the many faces of Addie!

Nolan and Adeline love to sit together in the recliner every morning! Too cute!

A view from upside down! :)
Silly girl!
Growing up so fast! She wants out of this crib!

So that's Adeline at 6 months!


Shannon's Graduation Party!

We managed to pull off a SURPRISE visit to California for the weekend of my sister's graduation party. I only got one picture of my pretty sister at her party. She graduated with a Bachelors degree in Communicative Disorders and she was accepted into the Masters program, so it's back to school for her!!! Congrats Shannon!

Here's one of Brian and Adeline...



My Mom asked me to do some hands/feet/head shots for her hallway. I had fun taking the pictures with our new camera that we got for Christmas. The star represents the Lone Star state where her grandbabies reside.
(My dad hated the star, so we justified keeping it that way!)






And on our last day there (the only day I had to go visit friends) Nolan decided it would be fun to go to the ER apparently! 3 stiches later... (second set before turning 3 years old!) They're covered with a bandaide so the picture isn't that exciting, sorry...
