Neptune Park

June 4, 2013.

We planned an impromptu play day at the park.  We called some friends and met them there.  One of Justin's friend's mom took this picture.

Tommy, Wyatt, and Justin.

Thanks to Tommy's mom, Alisha for the picture.  Good friends having a good time.

Pony Express Days Carnival

May 29, 2013.

Pony Express Carnival is something that I enjoy doing with Justin and Fisher.  They love the rides and I love the time I get to spend with them.  We go on Dollar Days where every ticket is only $1 and every ride is only 1 ticket.

Justin and Fisher on top of the Ferris Wheel.  It started to rain on us.  Not a good place to be when that happens.  The boys were a little cold and just wanted to get off.  I was surprised because they usually love the Ferris Wheel.

Fisher riding his own motorcycle.

I am so happy that my boys love doing things together.  Fisher and Justin are the best of friends.

We ran into Wyatt and Emily so we let the boys go on the rides together.  Wyatt is in front and Fisher and Justin are behind on the motorcycles.

Coming down the slide to the huge obstacle course.  Fisher wanted to do with Justin and Wyatt so bad but they left him in the dust and Fisher was scared to go past a certain spot.  It took me about 10 minutes of yelling up to him to go down the tube but he would get scared every time he tried.  Finally Wyatt went back in to try to help him and Fisher finally ended up going down the tube.  And of course Fisher loved it.....and wanted to go again.  Second go around was much better.  They went on this ride the most times.

They all thought the Toy Story ride looked fun.  Fisher was quite intrigued with Buzz.

Of course we had to do the herky-jerky roller coaster.  They always laugh and giggle on this thing.  Its so herky-jerky that I expect them to get off with whip blash.

Fisher loved the carousel. 

Justin loved it too!

We had so much fun.  Thanks Wyatt and Emily for palling around with us.  Every year we talk about getting Tyler to take the night off work and come and go with us.  We will have to see about next year.......

Welcome Home Jahde

May 29, 2013.

Cousin Jahde came home from his mission today!  He served in the Tampa Flordia Mission, Spanish speaking.  This was so neat for our boys.  We have prayed for Jahde's safe and successful mission every night for 2 years.  He is the first missionary on the Clark side of the family.  He is a great example to my boys of serving a mission.

Here is the welcome party at the airport.  There were several missionaries coming home that day so there was quite the hub-bub at the airport.

Justin and Fisher were so excited to hold a sign of their very own.

Cy and Madi stood by us.

Hunter slept thru the entire thing.  Poor guy needed a nap.

Jilly and Mattix.  He sure loves his Grandma.

All of a sudden there Jahde was.  He walked right by Sydney and when he finally spotted her he ran for her.  Such a cool brother-sister relationship.

Family hug with all 4 of them.

All together again.   

Jahde and Grandma Clark.  He grew a few inches! 

 

Welcome Home Jahde!  Thank you for serving an honorable mission and being an example to my boys.

Memorial Weekend - Lodge Pole Campground

May 24, 2013.

This year for Memorial Day weekend we chose to go to Lodge Pole for the annual Memorial Weekend camping trip.  This year we had the Thayn's, Kleinman's, and Rowley's go with us.  It was yet again a fun trip.

This is always the first trip of the year and the kids are so excited to finally go in the camping in the trailer.  This year the weather actually cooperated with us!  No rain or snow!

Tyler took Justin and Fisher looking for firewood.  The boys love firewood hunts.

 Hunter was so happy the entire time.  He sat on his rug and looked at books and played with toys forever.  He was so happy to be outside.

See that smile.  He was so happy. 

This was our little campsite visitor.  This squirrel was always snooping around for something to eat.  He loved Hunter's cereal snack mix...which he got a lot of since Hunter drops a lot.

 

Fisher playing blocks with Hunter.

Austin, Tyler and Fisher roaster marshmallows.  Its not camping if you don't make smores.

The kids love riding 'around the loop'....especially when they can go by themselves.  Fisher tried to keep up with Justin and Kate. 

Callie and Hunter playing on the rug.

Austin and Scott.

Sadie.  She had a lot more fun than this picture depicts.

Tyler and Hunter out for a bike ride.

Fisher riding away from the potty..... he did so good on this trip..... no accidents!

Hunter took a nap every day. Just being outside took it right out of him. He had so much fun.

Baby Josie was the cutest thing ever.  She is a good little camper and the best little sleeper.

Fisher is an outside boy but there is something about playing in the trailer that does it for this little boy.  He likes to eat and play inside.

 

Snacks and movie break! 

I was so proud of Hunter. He actually ate a whole Soft Batch cookie!!  Awesome job!

Justin was thrilled to play Candyland with Sadie.  He had so so much fun! 

Tyler thought he had a good idea.... have a nap while the boys played......

Before long the invitation was just too hard for Fisher to resist.  He jumped on Tyler and said, "Dad, wrestle me?"  He says it like a question although Tyler doesn't really have a choice.

Then Fisher got some backup from Justin.  These boys love to wrestle their daddy.

The kids love to do camp crafts.  Here Fisher and Justin are painting wood blocks.

Lacey and Josie.

Hunter having another nap.  Isn't he so cute.

Little Jeff feeding Josie. 

The Klienman's and the Rowley's:  Jill, Jeff, Sadie, Josie, Jeff and Lacey.

The Thayn's: Heather, Callie, Scott, Austin, and Kate.

All the kids: Sadie, Hunter, Justin, Fisher, Kate, Josie, Austin and Callie.

Thanks everyone for a fun camp trip.  We look forward to next Memorial Weekend Annual Camp Trip!

 

Justin's Kindergarten Graduation

May 21, 2013.

Justin graduated from Kindergarten!! Woot! Woot!  He participated so well in the program and smiled so big!  I am very proud of him for all that he has learned at school this year.  I was so nervous for him to start kindergarten and now he is graduating! Way to go Justin.

Justin looked so sharp in his graduation cap.  He was so proud of himself and excited.  This is the table that he sat at.  He made some new friends from here.

Justin is on the top/back row, 5th from the right, in a light blue shirt.

Mom, Dad, Fisher and Hunter are Justin's biggest fans. 

Singing one of the many songs.

Grandma Nancy and Grandma Sing came to support Justin.  Grandma Clark wasn't able to come because she was really sick.  Justin loves all 3 of his Grandma's so so much.

Because Justin has a summer birthday he was able to celebrate his birthday today.  He got a Happy Birthday crown and they sang to him.  Justin took treats to share with his class.

Justin made a good friend at his table, Estin Oswald. 

Justin and Kiera holding up their diploma's!  It was fun for Justin and Kiera to be in the same class this year. 

 

Mom and Justin in his classroom after graduation. 

Justin and his teacher, Miss Glover.  We really enjoyed having her for Justin's teacher and he liked her a lot.  All year long, he thought she was pretty. 

 Just after the program Justin said to us, "I'm a grader now."  Haha. So proud of him.
Thank you Miss Glover for making Kindergarten so much fun for Justin! 
He learned so much I am so amazed!
