Happy Father's Day

The Sparks family celebrated Father's Day Saturday at my parents house! We started the day off with a fiesta meal. My Mom had a taco and nacho bar for lunch with all the fixings. After lunch we headed to the pool for a swim to cool off! The kids all love to swim and love jumping in the pool! We had a great day! Eric and I both feel so blessed to have such wonderful Father's!

Hello Friends

Just wanted to give everyone an update.

I have started my new job and I am loving it. I have also joined a women's bible study on Thursday nights with a few friends from church. Eric has a new boss at Lorillard. Lorillard and the Federal Government are always changing rules and regulations so Eric is just trying to stay ahead of the game at work. Eric has helped lead the Tigers into a undefeated regular season. Tourney starts next week for the t-ball Tigers and they are hopeful to clinch the championship! Max is a little sad that Mommy has started working full time, now he has to hang out in his cage longer than he prefers. We are busier than ever but enjoying every minute of it together, as we learn and grow from our daily experiences that God has blessed us with!

Photo Skills

I love taking pictures of kiddos. I snap away every chance I get. I am developing my photo skills, but I still have a long way to go! Here are a couple pictures I have edited that I took of Nathan at the party on Sunday.

MaKayla is 6

Makayla is 6! Sunday afternoon Jenny had a great party to celebrate Makayla's 6th birthday. We had great food, princess cake, and ice cream. I enjoyed watching the all the kids play on the play ground. Makayla smiled from ear to ear all afternoon, she had a great time and loved all the attention and gifts.

This last Saturday Dan, Nancy, Eric, and I headed to Michigan to witness Jeff and Holly tie the knot! The wedding was great and Holly was absolutely stunning! It was great to be a part of such a special day in Jeff and Holly's life. The whole crew was there to help Mr. and Mrs. Diebel celebrate their nuptials.

Friday Fun

Last night we headed to the Brouwers for a fun filled Friday night.We started the night off with a walk around the neighborhood and then played with Bowen for a while before he headed to bed. After Bowen was fast asleep we were all ready for some games, drinks, and pizza. We all had a much needed fun night together.
