End of School Year Fun

Michael found a snake he was so proud.  Yuck!  The boys convinced Uncle Tony to pay them to mow his lawn.  They did a good job and Michael couldn't help himself and had to help them.  lol

The kids hung out with their cousins and played downtown at the park

They road a trolley as well.  They had a great time!

Joshua had his end of year concert.

They sounded great and the teacher said that they were the best choir she has had.  They were even singing in three parts.  At the competition they had a number 1 rating which is the best. 

Soccer is over as well.  The boys had a great time!  They played hard and learned lots.  They only lost a couple of games.  I am one proud mother!

Mother's Day

Leah's class sang to us for Mother's day.

They were so cute!

This is as good of a selfie as we can get.  Each of the kids made me something cute and I loved it.  Michael made breakfast and dinner.  It was a lovely day.  

I also came home to this wonderful surprise.  I have such great friends.  I have such great women in my life.  Michael and I were both blessed with wonderful mothers.  

Fun with Grandparents

I am behind the blog, but we did have fun with Michael's parents last weekend.

Grandpa went bowling with the kids

They had a good time.

Grandpa ended up winning in bowling

The weekend went by too fast.

We had a blast and can't wait until next time!

Easter Weekend

This baby hates sitting still.  During soccer practice I stroll him around and tote him around in a baby carrier.  He still gets fussy until I let him loose to explore.  I am nervous for toddler years.  lol

He also started to eat solid foods.  He is growing up way too fast.

Aaron's first Easter and he is teething like crazy.  He is getting in four teeth right now.

We went to the Annual Cruz Easter hunt.  The weather was perfect.

The kids got loaded up with candy.

We also got to meet sweet Elizabeth, the newest member to the Clark family.  Aaron was pretty excited to meet her too.

Michael did a little painting class with Leah and friends.  

She did a great job!  The girls had a great time!

Easter baskets for the kids.

I didn't get a picture of everyone on Easter.  It was a little crazy, but I got in one of Aaron.

We hit up the blue bonnets this year.  

It kills me how big he is getting.  He is not a baby anymore.  He is so smart and so much like Michael.  He can figure out things so fast.  He is into everything that Michael is into.  

Dallin is getting up there too.  I can't believe how fast it is all going.  He does well in school and sports.  He is super competitive and works hard. 

Evan is a little rascal.  He is so curious and loves to ask lots of questions.  

Aaron is a bright, slobbery, happy baby.

Leah is so pretty.  She really is so good for this house of boys.  She is tough and adds in the right amount of pinks and gentleness and affection.  She crafts, paints, draws, and writes all day. 

We are pretty blessed this Easter.  We know that He Lives!  We are grateful for our Savior's sacrifice.

Spring Fun

The boys and i snuck off to the Arboretum between naps.

 I just had to prove I was there.

Aaron loved the soft grass.  He is always on the move.

Evan facial expressions are so cute.  He always shows what he is feeling.

Aaron is almost always full of smiles.

Evan takes good care of his brother.

I took them with me on a 5K race.  They did well.

Everyone is so nice and encouraging, especially when you are pushing a double stroller.  

Birthday, Soccer, and Derby

The boys had their first soccer game with their new league.

They did great and seem to enjoy themselves.

Joshua volunteered for goalie and has enjoyed it.

Dallin played well and is learning his position as well.

After the soccer game we had to rush over to the derby.  Dallin's car did great!  He won many races, until tournament time.

Joshua car did great as well.  He won many races.

Dallin was a little disappointed in the day.  He lost the soccer game and then lost the derby.  Joshua took 2nd.

After that we had to celebrate Michael!  We had family come over to hang out with.

Michael wanted a volcano cake.  This is what we came up with.  It was great day!  

Spring Break

We had spring break this week.  I always have to stock up on fruit when the kids are home.  This day they wanted to make fruit skewers.  ha ha  I guess at least it is healthy.

This week was so busy for me for work, so I bought beyblades and stadium.  My boys played for hours.  They love it!  I was able to finish what I needed to, so it worked out for all of us.  

Leah had a well check so I took her and then we went out to lunch.  It was so weird to be at the doc with just her.  I didn't have to keep anyone from touching instruments or opening drawers.  It was nice!  ha ha She is right on track with growth.  :)

Michael had been wanting new furniture for a while now.  We finally went shopping.  The kids loved trying out all of the couches.  They loved the neon glow ones here.  

We ended up picking this one and not the neon light ones.  ha ha

We had to try out the massage chairs.  How could you not?  

This boy is so happy.  He is always laughing and smiling.  He is into everything and wants to keep up with everyone.

We had plans to camp this weekend but Michael and I were so tired.  ha ha It has just been a crazy month or so.  Instead of camping we invited over a dozen kids and played night games.

We fed them hotdogs and roasted marshmallows.  They all seemed to have a good time.  Michael has fond memories of night games and wants to be this a regular thing.

Right before Spring Break Dallin had his play and music program.  They did a great job.

It is so fun to watch them perform. 

On another bright note, my Dad is out of the hospital and doing well.  I am so impressed with his recovery.
