My dad is Mark Jonathon Sparrow. He was born in Dayton, Ohio and grew up in Georgia, Washington, Ohio, and Texas. His mom and dad are Gary and Cindy, and he has 5 brothers- Chad, Tom, Brian, Jeff, and Tyler. He graduated from Madison High School in San Antonio 1999. After high school he went to Texas Tech University, where he graduated with a BBA in Marketing and then continued on to get an MBA. Dad is now in charge of marketing for Insul-Serve Management Corporation, an insulation supply company. He loves playing basketball and watching sports, especially the Red Raiders. His favorite new hobbies are taking naps with me and changing my diapers. He is also a very skilled swaddler, and he makes me into an extremely cute Benson Burrito.

My mom, Laura Lyn, was born in Kermit, Texas to John and Sylvia Bell. Her brothers and sisters are Mary, Jesse, Amy, Bitsy, and Jacob. Mommy graduated from Kermit High School in 2000 and then moved to Lubbock, where she received a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Human Development and Family Studies at Texas Tech. While she was in college, she studied abroad in Seville, Spain, which made her love traveling. She also likes to play basketball and run, and she always beats my daddy when they play HORSE.

My mom and dad were married on August 12, 2006 in the LDS Temple in Lubbock, Texas. They have stayed busy working and settling in to our home in southwest Lubbock. Even though I've only been here for 8 days, I'm already taking over the house. There is baby stuff everywhere, and every time I whimper Mom, Dad, and Silver Bell come running to make sure I'm okay.
