Dinner

A said she wanted to help make dinner "girls only momma!" And I was "of course." Tonight's menu: cucumber salad, feta and spinach stuffed chicken wrapped in phyllo dough, mashed red potatoes, and carrots.
Little did I know, A wanted to make get own creation!
All my scraps she put in a pot, except for the chicken. Then she began to add sugar, flour, curry powder, eggs, milk, gallic salt, pepper, tootsie rolls (yup!), and topped it with sprinkles.
We put the mixture in ramekins and baked it at 350. Her creation actually grew and smelled good!
I don't know what went on in my mind when she wanted to eat it and I said "sure baby I'll taste it with you!"
The tiniest bite was yuck! We both guzzled down some juice and trashed the rest.
It was fun letting A make her own thing but no more testing it afterwards. Thank goodness that wasn't dinner!

Last Day of School

Congratulations Gavin! You rocked kindergarten.

I can't believe his first year of elementary is over. Our baby boy is growing so fast

Two Little Monkeys...

Hookie

We decided that we Sparks needed a personal day. On Wednesday we all took the day off to be together. The day started off with sleeping in until 8am and that was wonderful, plus and extra 30 minutes hanging in bed. We took our time getting ready and enjoyed the day having a picnic at Yucaipa Regional park. [Bliss]

Don't know where the wind came from but it came!

New addition to the Lee clan

Great job to my sister Crystal for creating another beautiful child. I forgot how small a baby can be after seeing him this past weekend

Happy 3rd Birthday Austen

On May 9th Miss Austen turned 3!!! (more like 13 hehe)
Glam Girls Kid Spa and Tea did an awesome job!!! The girls first dressed up in their best princess outfits with jewelry galore, followed by nails and make-up [eeek]. The tea party was wonderful. They ate PB&J sandwiches, strawberries, and graham crackers. The staff gave Austen a bell to ring whenever she needed something (A did not hold back on ringing the bell). They also enjoyed cupcakes, a fashion show, bingo, and bracelet making. Best money ever spent on a party and no clean up for me ;-)
A's bestie from school cried that she didn't want to go home, so I knew I did my job =)

Getting ready to go in

She did 3 dress changes

Album to be posted later of the fun

Awesomeness!

Gavin had a great game tonight. In the park homerun! He team was being dominated and scoreless. Then Gav is at bat to start the inning and next thing you know he is running home. Our boys didn't make a come back but they did get motivated. Gav also had a great play at third base catching a fly ball.
Its amazing watching him grow :)

Happy Easter

Wishing everyone a wonderful day with their families

Life has been a blur lately. Running from one place to the next...
Here is the quick rundown:
Boom started bow tie Wednesdays. Gav and A are adorable as ever! We began another season of little league. No more tball for Gav, he plays with the big boys on farm now and his favorite position is catcher.
I killed zombies with Boomer and played with alligators! A is one tough cookie (she busted her lip being a monkey on the bed).

Up next... spring cleaning this weekend, waiting on my nephew to arrive sometime this week, Ashley's wedding, more baseball games, finishing my thesis, A getting ready for her next pageant and hopefully letting Boom relax (nah!)

Life has been a blast!  :-)

Happy Easter!

Happy Birthday to Grandma Betty!!! 78 yrs young =)
