First day of school!

Addy, Jackson, Elle and Cole are all ready to go as they begin a new school year.. Picture of Cole on his first day of preschool to follow. Believe it or not Addy is in 6th grade this year and officially a middle schooler! Jackson is in 3rd and Elle is in 2nd and again continuing in her Spanish classroom. They are all set for a great school year.

August.

Just had to write a few funny things that this funny guy said today. A, J and E all go to swim team from 3-5 so it gives us some great time together. Today we went to the grocery store. As I was drving into the parking lot I went over a speed bump. Cole said, "Mom, oh my gosh! you just ran over the curve!"
Cole also is the number one seat belt nazi... when we got in the car to leave after shopping, I had not fastened my seat belt and he put his seat belt on he said "Mom, I hear one click" (he was giving me a little seat bet reminder I think.. :) on a side note I am really good about always wearing my seat belt. It is just not always the first thing I do when I get in the car..

We had lots of fun at our ward camp out. We set up the tent and roasted marshmallows around the camp fire. After everyone left the next day we stayed around for another hour or so and played in a little creek. It made for some good laughs and a couple of funny photos but Jackson would not be too happy if I posted them! :)

Couldn't resist posting these pics of all these handsome fellas!

Party Time

We had lots of fun celebrating Grandpa's, Chyrl and Lois's birthdays! Talk about reasons to celebrate! It was so fun to see some of the Utah gang... and of course we missed those that weren't there.

"Semi-Pro"

Okay so we have some great youth in our ward. They arranged a date where each couple had to come up with 2 challenges and funny prizes and most importantly make and wear matching tees.. Of course the Clarks are over achievers and couldn't help but go all out with a complete uniform. We were cracking up when we ran outside passing a football acting all psyched for the night.. I think they were mostly glad they didn't have to go any place out in public with us.
(We won those lollipops for winning one of the challenges. :)

Trolley buses and sunflowers

Elle brought home a little seedling from at the end of the school
year and here we have it one month later.. a genuine sunflower!
Guess she's the one with the green thumb in the family!

We have had fun a time or two as we have hopped the trolley bus for a ride around town..
