Trains & the Circus

Last weekend we rode the train down to Discovery. I visit that place alot towards the expiration date on my pass :) The girls had lots of fun and looked really cute on the train.

We went to the circus this week. The girls had the BEST time together. They all stood up on their seats and danced at the end during the elephant show. Tammy got all the girls cotton candy. Dani especially loved hers and decided to wear part of it as a beard. Ella and Owen arrived after I'd already taken pictures. Whoops.

Clark Family Pictures

We had family pictures taken while we were in Ohio. Here are a few of my favorites! And sorry to any of you hopeful modeling agents, most of us are under contract. ;)

A few things for the memory box

Camryn & Brooklyn-Named their barbies: Rissa, Barbie Dot Com, Butter-Jam & Yogurt.
Spend most of their time each day playing barbies in their room with their new doll house.
Come into our room when they wake up in the morning and say, "it's on outside". And likewise, it's "off" when the sun goes down.
Sing "happy birthday" a dozen times each day to some random toy.
Are hyper and crazy as can be around family....Shy as can be around everyone else...I don't get it!
Have been wearing panties to bed for a few months now and haven't had many accidents. That's HUGE for them!
Have quiet time each afternoon for at least an hour in the basement. They watch a movie (usually a Barbie movie lately), and play in the playroom. This takes place during Kendyl's afternoon nap. It's a LOVELY hour.
Push chairs up to the counter EVERY time I cook and "help". It's always much appreciated.

Kendyl- Says "Uh-Oh" over & over & over again whenever anything gets dropped.
Says "Mama", "Dada" and "Ball" for anything that's circular.
Makes animal sounds for monkey, cow, pig & dog.
Likes to play in the potty chair.
Gets in the cereal cupboard, pulls out a bag/box, walks around munching on it ALL the time.
Is starting to like binkies more & more....uh oh.
Runs everywhere and does the stairs like a champ. (She's usually up or down them before I even notice she's gone...scary.)
Helps unload the dishwasher.
Always wants to be held, then immediately wants down, and back and forth all day. Fickle child. She's SOOOO exhausting! But cute.

And as a whole- this little group LOVES to play ALL day long. Kendyl hangs right with the other girls. Here they are having a blast at Discovery yesterday.

Happy Birthday Lover!!

First things first. Ashley Nelson- You ROCK!!! Nic's sister Ashley offered to take all three girls last weekend. The girls had a blast and got totally spoiled....but this post isn't about them, it's about Nic!!! Yep, today is the big day. Nic has officially dumped his 20's, bless his heart. I swear, he gets better with age. We had the BEST time celebrating!! We started it off with the BEST Jazz game ever on Thursday! The Jazz beat the Cavs by a shot at the buzzer. Nic and I were practically doing back flips up in the stands. It's all we could talk about for the next day.



Friday was the craziest day of my life. Nic went to work, and I was a TOTAL WOS all day. I sat in the tub, read my book, took a nap, watched TV and ate cereal. I felt slightly guilty for wasting a day away, but looking back, it was NOT a waste and I wish I could do it again! We even got to go to the gym together which NEVER happens (I'm early mornings, he's afternoons). We figured people should know we're married (too many ladies hitting on Nic :)) After that we got ready and went to Tucanos for dinner. Thanks Holly & Clark for joining us. We concluded that night with a late showing of Avatar. AWESOME movie!!! Anyway, reality hit the next day when we got our girlies back....and the crumbs began accumulating on the floor again ;) It was actually nice to get them back. Today we made Nic breakfast for dinner and gave him some presents. This ol' guy FINALLY got some leather harness boots (he's wanted some since we were dating), a tennis racquet and a little Hot Wheels car (C&B picked it out). Happy Birthday to the COOLEST guy in the house.... We love you Nic!

BALLERINAS!!!

I'm just in love with these 2 adorable ballerinas. They've been so pumped all week to go to ballet. After I got them dressed in their ballet clothes, Brooklyn said, "Camryn, you look so beautiful". Camryn replied, "You look so beautiful too". Then without a moment's hesitation, they threw their arms around eachother. I was DYING laughing. It was perhaps, the best day of their lives. Only 7 more days till they get to go back! Dani signed up too, so there's even more excitement for ballet.

30!!!

These 2 boys turn 30 within a couple weeks of eachother. Quinton was here visiting last weekend so it was only appropriate that they wear crowns while eating some dessert for their birthdays! They also enjoyed a day of snowmobiling.

Kendyl's New Seat!

I can barely shut the door on my Tahoe. Seriously, three huge carseats all packed together is a little tight. Oh well, Kendyl is loving this new carseat (which I bought months ago). I pulled it out of the box and set it in on the floor and she climbed on it all night. Too cute.
