The Sparkman Family: April 2009
http://daveandcat.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 23, 2009. A Finger, A Foot, and some Tonsils. The past few weeks has our family thankful for the miracles of modern medicine. And health insurance. And priesthood blessings. And good friends and family who watch kids, cook meals, and call just to see if we need anything. We love you all. The surgery was really quick. Callie was NOT a happy girl in the recovery room. I could hear her sobbing, "I want my mommy! Dave, Catherine, Chandler, and Callie. Tuesday, April 21, 2009. The kids opening...

The Sparkman Family: October 2008
http://daveandcat.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 30, 2008. Last night was our annual church carnival/trunk or treat. The kids always have a blast. Callie was "Beauty" (aka Sleeping Beauty/Aurora/Brier Rose). She refused to wear her crown and heels. She wanted to wear her Keds. I guess she didn't want anything to slow down her quest for candy. Morgie the Snow White, who apparently prefers cupcakes to apples. E the Darth Vader. How do I love this picture? Let me count the ways:. 2 Val and I are hot! Dave, Catherine, Chandler, and Callie.

The Sparkman Family: November 2008
http://daveandcat.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 13, 2008. Today was Chandler's first field trip. The entire kindergarten headed to the zoo. I was able to come too, as a chaperone. I received a memo asking me to come to the school to meet my "group" and pick up their lunches. But so many parents had signed up, my group consisted of Chandler and one other little boy. Whew! The kids were so excited to ride the bus to the zoo! First we went to the sea lion show and had lunch. Looking at giraffes. They have two new babies. The kids both ...

The Sparkman Family: Conversations
http://daveandcat.blogspot.com/2009/09/conversations.html
Tuesday, September 15, 2009. Callie: Mom, I need a place to hang up my necklace. Me: Why don't you put it in your jewelry box? Callie. No, I want to hang it up. Maybe Daddy will put a hooker in my room. The following conversation is heresay. I didn't actually hear it myself. The doctor did tell me about it firsthand. I'm pretty sure she's a reliable source. Chandler is underweight and the doctor has been after him about his eating. Dr: Chandler, how have you been doing with your eating? That is so cute&#...

The Sparkman Family: May 2009

Friday, May 8, 2009. The Messiest Child Ever? Does anybody want to be in our contest for the messiest child ever? No Does this stop her? No again. She is feeling better, so this week, she squeezed out an entire caprisun in my car, dumped a family size bag of Cheetos out on the living room rug, and decided to fill her spaghettio bowl up with water from the fridge door. Water downed tomato sauce everywhere! This morning I gave her breakfast and went upstairs. I came back down to find this.

Monday, January 19, 2009. Conversations: Fit as a. I think Callie may have heard the phrase "fit as a fiddle" one too many times. Where, I have no idea. Some examples:. Mom: Callie, hold my hand, please. (as we cross the street). Callie: Yes, so I will be safe as a fiddle. Mom: Callie, do you like your new coat? Callie: Yes, I am cozy as a fiddle. Mom: Are you ready for lunch? Callie: I am as hungry as a fiddle! Any ideas as to what she might think a "fiddle" is? Dave, Catherine, Chandler, and Callie.

The Sparkman Family: July 2009

Friday, July 17, 2009. Wicked was Wicked Awesome. For about a year my friend Joleen has been talking about going to see Wicked. She arranged for group tickets, for about half off the regular price. My Mom took Christine and I. It was amazing! Seriously, once it started, I was all, "What is this Feeling? No wonder this play is so "Popular"! It totally "Defy's Gravity". No mourning for this Wicked! And I'm done with the puns. Of course, the BFF's came too, aka the Sisterhood. BEST DAD, HANDS DOWN! Anyway, ...

The Sparkman Family: Hotlanta
http://daveandcat.blogspot.com/2009/07/hotlanta.html
Friday, July 17, 2009. Does anybody know why people call Atlanta that? Anyway, back in June, Dave and I escaped for an "alone" weekend. The kids went to stay with Dave's family. It was a heavenly trip with dinner at Ruth Chris, shopping, Six Flags, and a session at the Atlanta temple. It's nice to miss your kids every once and a while, right? I don't think I've been to a Six Flags in 10 years. They had something like 12 roller coasters. It was awesome. Here's our favorite, Goliath. Lovin the bucket sign!
