Busy, busy, busy!!

I apologize for not updating lately.  Things have been really crazy in the Sparks household.  Randy officially started school a few weeks ago.  He's taking Intro to Radiology and Patient Care.  It's taking up a lot of his time.  He has two tests every Thursday, so you can imagine what he's doing 24/7.  During this time, Elizabeth and Josh are being watched by a lady in our Ward.  We're so grateful she's able to do it for an affordable price.  The kids love it, and it is able to give Randy more time to study without distractions.Elizabeth is growing up so fast.  She's the most adorable, independent, stubborn, two-year old.  We love her so much!  She's not the most talkative child, but her comprehension is amazing.  She loves helping us around the house and with Josh.  It's so much fun to watch her.  She's very active.  Most of her days are compiled of running, jumping, climbing, and chasing Stubby around outside. 



Her favorite show is Dora the Explorer.  I guess Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and My Friends Tiger and Pooh are to childish for her these days.  Elizabeth will also occasionally dance while watching So You Think You Can Dance (I love that show).  Of course, being a two year old, Elizabeth does like to assert her independence.  She will throw a tantrum at the drop of a hat and screams quite frequently.  I do find it amusing that she'll put herself in timeout and tell herself no after she does something wrong.  What a stinker!  Despite all of her tantrums she still manages to melt my heart when she gives me a kiss and says "I wuv you."  Josh is a stud!  He gets more adorable by the day.  He's a fairly mellow baby, but definitely has his quirks.  He's already wearing 6-9 month clothing, rolling back to front and front to back.  He's already starting to scoot across the floor.  His smile will melt your heart and he loves to giggle.  We think he'll be getting his first tooth soon.  I've never seen so much drool in my life.
