4th of July

On Independence Day we went to Balboa Island and rented a duffy boat and watched the boat parade. Aside from a meltdown from Clark, it was a great way to celebrate the 4th!

Day 1

We landed in Orange County on Thursday and Carrie picked us up from the airport. We went to Corona, met up with James and had a beautiful walk along the coast. That night Carrie and James cooked delicious lamb burgers for us.

Clark in California

We just returned from an amazing trip to California. More pics to come!

Mistaken...

Today at the store an old man asked what my little girl's name was.

An Engineering Mind

I can't stop...

I know it looks like all Clark does is eat and bathe! We have been going to the park, pool, gym and hanging out with friends but I think Clark is the cutest the last 2 hours of the day. This is the time when he eats solid foods and has his bath, so I indulge myself in endless photographs of his sweet, sloppy face!

So BIG!

The last few weeks Clark was really working on sitting up by himself. The last 3-4 days he has mastered it! He loves sitting up and being able to look around and play with his toys. I wish I could freeze him in tine right now because he is so much fun!

Lucky Us!

Happy Father's Day to Todd! He is such a great Dad and we love him so much! He is so involved with Clark and they mutually adore each other! We are so incredibly lucky to have him in our life!

So cute...

Clark and Carrots 2

Clark and Carrots

I'll Have the Filet Mignon

Now that Clark is eating solids (and apparently reading) he decided that he needed to order something from the kid's menu at The Dodo when we went with my parents, Grandpa and Dan and Holly last weekend. It cracked me up when our server got a high chair for Clark and handed me a kid's menu for him!

Wyoming

After spending the weekend in SLC, my parents drove Clark and me back to Star Valley. We had a great and very relaxing week! Clark played with his Great Granny Frome a few days and met his other Uncles/Aunts/Cousins that live in Star Valley. My mom had Clark help her mow the lawn and we were laughing so hard as he was grabbing for the steering wheel and trying to drive. My parents adore Clark and it was so nice to be with them, enjoy my Mom's fabulous food and just spend time with them.

SLC

After a week in St. George, We drove back to SLC and spent a few days there. Clark met his cousin Shayne who is 2 days younger than him. She is tiny and petite (about 5 lbs lighter and much shorter) and ADORABLE! Dan and Holly are so welcoming and fun to be around! We had a great dinner to celebrate my Mom's birthday and spent time with Holly's family and my Grandpa Goulding.

Meeting the Relatives

While in St. George, we took an afternoon to introduce Clark to his Great Great Aunt Zoe, GG Uncle Ernie, GG Aunt Dora and GG Uncle Harold. It was great to see some relatives from my Dad's side of the family (although you can see by the picture Clark was DONE!).

Family Pictures

Our last day in St. George, Todd took some great family photos at his parent's clubhouse. It is such a beautiful location and he got some great shots.
