Boys Doing Boy Things

Clark is ALL boy!!! He LOVES cars!!! He loves getting dirty!!! He loves being with the guys!! He has ad so much fun running around with all of his boy cousins and meeting up with his buddies from the ward to play at the park. I love the picture of him holding the car while he is making his car noises...love it! Today the boys weren't too interested in the playground, but rather the puddle of muddy water. I guess you gotta learn to choose your battles!

Hanging out with the Fam

Rob's brother Wayne and his family our in town from Texas and we have loved spending time with them and the rest of the gang! Clark especially is enjoying the boy time with all of this cousins!!! Sunday we were eating dinner over at the Nelsons and all of the older kids were eating outside on their little tables and Clark didn't want to miss anything. I peeked out the window to find him standing next to the kids who were eating and just watching them and even mooching off of their plates(Thanks Alyssa for sharing your meat with Clark). The next thing I saw was priceless...he spotted another little chair a couple feet away and hurried over to it and dragged it up to the table. It was so cute! Last night we got together and Dave and CIndy's for dinner and their house is ever kids dream. They have the best backyard and the coolest playroom. Clark loved digging in the sand with his cousin Luke who tried to engage him in a treasure hunt. He buried some rocks in the sand and tried to direct Clark to where the "treasure" was but he wasn't to interested in digging in any one particular spot. Later that night we were all sitting around visiting and Carter was in with all of the adults and all of the sudden I saw Clark hustling down the hall from the playroom. I figured he was coming to get either Rob and I, but he passed us and went right to Carter and picked up his hand and tried to pull him into the palyroom with him to play trains. It was so funny. Needless to say we are having so much fun hanging out with the fam. Today we are off the the museum!

FLASH BACK FRIDAY

I love looking back at old pictures. I finally found a disc with some old pictures from 2000ish-2004ish. There are a few randoms from highschool, college, etc.

we love to play!

We have been having so much fun doing playdates, morning walks with friends, playing outside with aunt Chloe and Katie, and all sorts of outings!
ps...Yes, Clarky has a very interesting smile theese days as a result of him saying "CHEEESEEE" every time I pull the camera out!

Halloween '08

Well, the festivities started on Wednesday with our ward halloween bash. Clark snagged a piece of candy corn off the table just as I was about to fee him his REAL food and it was all over after that! He refused to eat dinner and just begged for more candy corn. Luckily we were able to distract him with the mummy wrap station where we attempted to wrap him up in toilet paper, but that didn't last long after he spotted candy that had fallen on the ground. I swear he can sniff out sugar. Halloween morning Clark and I were invited to go decorate Halloween cookies with some fun mommies and their cute kids. Clark is going through an extremely CLINGY stage and wouldn't leave my side. He wanted to play with the kids so bad, so instead of venture out on his own, he would wrap his arms around my thing and drag and pull me around the house. I hope this soon passes b/c Rob and I are going on a cruise at the end of November and guess who won't be coming. We had so much fun decorating cookies and visiting. Halloween evening we always go to my family's ward party. It is always fun to go back to my homeward and see people and families I grew up with. Rob doesn't mind at all, rather he looks forward to the event all year long just for the delicious and healthy Indian fry bread that he douses in honey, butter and powdered sugar! Clark loves running around and seeing all of the kids in their costumes. This year it was a little hotter than usual, although you would have thought it was freezing if you walked by my parents house and saw my dads little fire going in the front yard..he was trying to keep up the tradition. Anyway, b.c of the warmer weather Clark wasn't very comfortable in his little zebra costume so instead he wore a skeleton necklace that blinked blue lights. Clark insisted on rinding in his little car door to door up and down my parents street. Rob tried to rig up something to keep his feet from dragging under the car. It was a bit of a hassle b/c we had to stop every couple feet to adjust it. Nonetheless Clark loved riding in his little car. It was so cute watching him open his bag for people to drop candy into. After he had his candy in the bag he would hug the bag and then put it in the little holder in the back of the car. He was in HEAVEN! When we got back to my house, he perched himself on the ledge of the front step and just looked at his candy. I am happy to say that he only had a couple little pieces of licorice. Hopefully next year he will get the full effect by actually dressing up!
