Fairwell Mom & Dad.....until we meet again :)

Everyone should know that our parents, Dennis and Mary Sparrow, are yet another another mission serving the Lord. They left on August 4th to the MTC where they stayed for 10 days before they left to their destination in Taiwan. They are serving in the capital, Taipei. We will miss them but know that they are serving the Lord and don't what they are supposed to be doing. They will be gone for 18 months and will return in December of 2009. They have planned a family reunion for when they get back which all of the siblings will attend which will first occur in Veil or Estes park (in Colorado). Then whomever wants to come to Hawaii will be there in July. So hopefully I will be there for my birthday :) that will be Will's second time in Hawaii and it will be my first. So we are excited to see them again.....soon. We get weekly e-mails from them telling everyone how they are doing and what has been happening. We can even talk to them on Skype when we are both awake since we are basically on opposite schedules :) We found out that they have a THREE bedroom apartment.....so who knows........maybe we will visit them in Taiwan :)

We love you and miss you Mom and Dad.

View the video above. It is Al (AKA "Fred"), Bre, Brit, Jen, Emmalee, Will, me, with a special appearance by Junior. We are all giving The Elders a message before they leave....even though they were present :) So you can meet most of the Sparrow family.

Our BABY!

Grandma Sparrow's Funeral

This weekend we attended Grandma Sparrow's funeral in Logan, Utah. She passed away on Saturday the 23. We will miss here, but know she isn't far away. She has kept William in line and always pushed him to get married before he became an "old batch" and no one would want him. We have had many good memories when we visited Grandma. My favorite was when she asked me if "Will was good in bed?" and if "he moved around that much in bed?" She even managed to ask me infront of my new aunt, uncle, and parents-in-law. I had to admit that I was rather taken back, and Mary (my new mother) stated that she hasn't even asked me those questions.......yet :) We also loved to bring her treats.... her favorites were rice pudding and caramel corn. She would lick her lips as soon as we brought it in.





It was great to see everyone at the funeral. I even met people from Will's family that I had never met before. Jen, Al, and the girls even flew in from Atlanta to attend, as well as the Loosli family from Cali. It was great to have everyone together again.... I know that is exactly what Grandma wanted. The only people that weren't able to make it, were Mom and Dad which is understandable considering they are serving the Lord in Taiwan.

We will miss Grandma but we know she is in a better place and with her hubby that she has waiting a long time to see. We love you Glenda :)
