Baby Lincoln comes home!!!!!
I was shocked at how depressed I was to come home with out Lincoln. He stayed 24 hours longer then I did at the hospital. They wanted him in the NICU for a full 24 hours without ant problems.
Ofcourse heres Isaac and Sydney loving on their brother.

Good looking trio huh!?!

Josh and Nannah took the kids to Bass Pro shop for their Special Memorial day celebration. In the middle of this sports store is a HUGE fish tank which the kids love to go stand by. Isaac has a stuffed shark and he's pretending to eat all the fish.

They had all sorts of stuff to do for the kids there. Scroll down and have a peek.

This was an actual Coast Guard boat they had in the parking lot. The kids got to go on and ask all sorts of questions. From what I understand Isaac was the only kid who took FULL advantage of the question asking.
Josh said Isaac would have stayed on that ship ALL DAY and been in heaven. The Coast Guard guys really took to him. Of course most adults do once Isaac gives them a chance.
Sydney in the HUGE bouncy house.

This is the big shark head outside the store. Isaac loves sharks!
You really have to double click on this pic o get the FULL impact. She is just elated. And its pictures like this that I believe actually come close to capturing how beautiful she really is!
Isaac was too busy focusing on jumping high to look up. Josh said he enjoyed himself but had a better time on the boat. He sometimes can be way too intense on doing something to fully enjoy it. At least that's what it seems like to me.

"Must jump high!!"

Lets hear it for our little Lincoln log!!

So this morning at 7:50 am Laura gave birth to Lincoln "log" Thomas Sparks (laura's gonna kill me for the whole log reference but she is in the hospital and can't do a thing about it!). He tips the scales at a stagering 7 lbs 6 ounces (huge compared to Isaac and Sydney) and was 19 inches long. Unfortunately he swallowed some amniotic fluid and it got in his lungs and he is in NICU for 48 hrs while they do a culture to make sure that everything is alright. That is why the pictures I am posting are not of us holding him. Anyways, enjoy! (he kind of reminds me of Scott for some reason, doesn't he?)

Here is Laura, triumphant after a NATURAL childbirth (no it was not planned but I dont want to steal her thunder so I'm gonna let her report on that later!)

In addition to the new baby, we are due to pick up our new puppy next week when we move and I wanted to add a few pictures I enjoyed taking of Syndey with the puppy. Here she is so happy with the puppy in her new stroller.

Then came the melt down that lasted 15 min and culminated with her throwing everything out of the car and running away screaming.

What a sweet action shot!

Isaac saw a really cool dirt bike type bicycle on TV the other day. He came and told me, "I want that!!" I didn't pay him much mind and not thinking I said, "you have to learn to ride your bike with out training wheels first."

So the next day he asked his dad to take him to the park because he was going to ride with out training wheels.

They got to the park and Josh told him the secret to riding with out training wheels "pedal fast".

And off he went! Later in the afternoon we all went to the park so Isaac could show me how good he really was. And he wasn't exaggerating... he's good. He has also mastered starting by himself. Well, most of the time. Take a look at the video below.
