3 little monkeys








The girls were silly tonight! Corbin was asleep and probably thrilled he was far away from them!


Christmas and 11 weeks old!!!










We had a wonderful Christmas...It is amazing to see Chloe understand that Christmas is not just lots of gifts...but Jesus Christ being born into this world!
That being said, I did hear the occasional, "Are there any more presents for me?"
She is only 4!
Corbin is so sweet. He is smiling all the time and giggles a little bit..
The girls were all crowded around his carrier the other day and were able to get him to smile. Laurel was loving it!
All 3 babies have been fighting colds. It has been pretty yucky in our house lately! The girls are finally over it, but poor Corbin is still fighting it off. We have been to the dr 3 times in one week! But even when he feels his worst, he is still smiling. And sleeping! This blog is so late bc I have to do one of the worst things in the world(in my book)...I have to wake a sleeping baby! Yes, Corbin has been sleeping 9 hours. And now I have to wake him up to give him a breathing treatment...Hopefully this will just be a few nights...but then I hope he doesn't get use to it! Anyway, I hope you all are doing terrific and the New Year brings lots of happiness!

Ginger Bread House Party at 10 weeks old











Corbin is 10 weeks old. I can't believe it. He is such a big boy! And so darn cute. It is nice having a sweet baby in the house when everyone else is acting like spoiled children! I think when you are the baby of the family, you probably are seen as an angel. I mean, he doesn't talk back. He doesn't go up the stairs when he is not suppose to. He doesn't take toys away. He doesn't go on the big slide in the backyard wihtout mommy. He doesn't eat dog poop(oh...yes...that would be my sweet Anabelle!). He smiles at me even when it is the middle of the night and I look like crud! I think I am going to make him my mamma's boy so he will never leave me:)
We had another busy weekend! L&A got their second flu shot on Saturday morning. I felt so bad for them. They were so giddy on our way to the dr office. They had no idea. I got them hashbrowns afterwards and they were pretty happy.
Chloe had her cousin Ella Kate spend the night. It is amazing to see how excited she is when Ella walks in the door. I took them to see Charlotte's Web. They loved it. I did, too. And I cried! Corbin has been sleeping every well. From about 10-5:30. Saturday night he went till 7:30. How great is that!
Hopefully tomorrow he will have more of a boy room then a girl room. Mom is almost done with his bumper pads. We had our second annual Ginger Bread House party. The kids really enjoy it. So do the mom's. We get to visit! L&A were pesky as they just wanted to eat the candy! Corbin was perfect as always!

Some pictures, Birthday, Santa and cute boy





9 weeks old...Christmas around the corner



We have had a busy few weeks. Chloe turned 4, had a birthday party, we saw Santa, Corbin slept 7 hours, he is smiling, and Laurel and Anabelle... Well...A picture says a thousand words....As Chloe would say..."They are a mess"

Life is pretty good in the Sparks house. I made my first outing to the mall with all 4 kids yesterday. It wasn't as bad as I thought. We got there around 11:30 and the girls played with the train table at the book store. Chloe and I sat on the floor with Corbin and read some books. We went to buy Charolettes Web. Headed to the food court to eat. I was truly impressed with myself. I had lunch in front of each kid and bottle ready for Corbin in record time! Then of course, off to the play area. That is where people kept double taking. You could tell the were counting the kids and trying to figure it out. Of course the girls all matched, so it was obvious they went together. After that we made a few stops for gifts. Let me tell you Bath and Body Works has everything at stroller little hand level. I looked in the stroller before we left and Anabelle has collected a few things we didn't buy! I was so glad I caught it before they caught me!
The entire time Corbin was just smiling and cooing. What a happy little boy, considering a life full of girls!

8.5 weeks old...time flies




I am a little behind in posting any pictures. Life gets a little busy with 4 short people in the house! Corbin is 8.5 weeks! He is a big boy! 14lbs 1 ounce. That puts him in the 95%! I kept telling Fred he was a fatty! Not Fred, Corbin!:)
He is smiling and cooing all the time. It is so sweet and makes me feel appreciated:)
Chloe turned 4 on the 6th! She is such a big girl. She was VERY confused about turning 4 on Wednesday and her birthday party being Saturday. She also was VERY sad today when she got her shots. Afterwards she looked at the two, very nice, nurses and said, "I don't like them anymore!" I felt so bad for her.
She only wanted to go see my dr and his nurses afterwards. She had me so heart broken I almost took her to my drs office just to make her happy. However, a diversion to candy seemed to work.
L&A are good as well. Laurel like to sit on everyone lately, and Anabelle just tries to repeat everything we say!
