Family Updates - March

 March 4 - Happy 60th Birthday!  We had a family meal together to celebrate Richard's birthday.

 The kids compiled a book of  "Dad-isms" and stories....60 pages worth.  It brings smiles everytime we read through it.

 And in between times, there's plenty of playing with the little ones.

 This is what "waiting for our food" looks like at Wendy's. 

 What?   No phone for Kennedy?  Our baby is getting so big.

 Eli always has lots of smiles!

 Carly and Westin

 Trying to coax a grin from Miss Kennedy.

 Nothing so precious as a napping little boy!

 Getting ready for the Sparks FunFair.  Pretty well fills the living room.

 Each brown bag represents a "game" for the fun fair.

 While Stephen and Freya were busy, busy moving to their new house, Richard and  I got to go to Max and Henry's last Upward Basketball games.  Henry was #11.

 Emmy and Lena came with us for the morning.

 Go, Henry!

 Max had an outstanding game that morning.  Lots of points and great ball-handling!  Of course, I'm not biased!

 Everyone needs a princess on moving day!

 Little Peter.  Growing up way too fast.

 The next weekend I went to Branson to see Grace play in the NAIA tournament.  Exciting games and a fun time to be with my sisters.

 Jordy had a little birthday party with his daycare friends at a bouncy playland at the mall.  Here's Jordy and Eli sitting in the balls.

 Okay, Jordy.....Happy Birthday!  Get ready to blow....

The next weekend was a piano recital with Lisa's piano students.  Joshua played first.

 Good Job, Kayla.  Did you notice her new glasses?

 It will all be okay, Lisa!  :)

 Lisa and I did a duet together.....only because she has had to spend hours practicing for a violin recital and didn't have time to work up a solo.

 While Brian was in Kentucky at a cattle show, Carly and the boys came over in the evenings.  Westin is very good at posing for pictures now.

 Camden, are you playing in the water????

 Tyler, how can you possibly be 6 years old.  I still think of you as our 10 lbs, 11oz baby.  You are just too cute!

 He still loves his "superheroes."  Batman, Superman, Spiderman......and Lego!
