What's Been Happenin' Recap

Life is just too crazy and lets just face it... we stink at blogging. So, I will just give you a recap of a few things that have happened the last few months.

Courtney received this award on her softball team this year for having the best attitude. The coach commented that whenever anyone on the team was having a hard time that Courtney was there to help them thru and make them feel better and that any coach would be honored to have her. We were so proud of her!

Any given day you can find Camilla trying to climb something...

The girls spent the day with Stan on the Farm. They had a blast!

Courtney ran for student council. She had to give a speech and make posters for it. She came up with these funny posters. Oh...and she did get elected!

Camilla lost her front tooth!

Courtney participated in her first Cross Country Race. For a month they had to run 3 miles everday at practice. She ran a 10 minute mile at the race. Here' s a little story about the race; This is soooo Courtney! During the race we notice Courtney was slowing down and waiting for her friend Kylie(The tall one on right). Apparently Kylie kept telling Courtney she was going to quit and she couldn't do the race and started to get upset...so Courtney slowed down to encourage her to keep going. We were all yelling...GGGGOOO, what is she doing? Why is she slowing down and waiting for Kylie!!! So at the end of the race we gave her a speech about in a race it is every man for themself and to hussle(the competitive side in us) And she said, "But she was upset and I felt bad for her. Man...sometimes adults can learn a lesson or two from kids.

Here we are at the pumpkin patch.

Rob Morris...The Colts!

Kim met Rob Morris (Colts Defensive Linebacker) at a Time Out For Women Conference in Indy a couple of months ago...he's LDS. There were women swarming him everywhere, but I had to get his autograph for my hubby.

More Halloween Fun!

Patrick's mom, Sharon

There are so many funny pictures, I had to add a few more.

Halloween Party!

It was time for our annual family Halloween Party. Michael's Parents were in town and were able to join in on the festivities. (They fit right in with our crazy family!) Every year we laugh at each other and think next year will be harder to come up with a better costume...but then someone always pulls thru with a classic one and a new funny memory is added to our collection. Here is Kinsey as Oprah.

Opening Day for the Indianapolis Colts!

All of downtown Indy was crazy with pregame festivities today with the hipe of Blue Thursday... the Colts opening season began. And it was no different here in Crawfordsville or with my crazy husband! So here's the story; Today I heard the lawn mower going and then stopping several times, so I looked out the window to see what was going on. I saw Michael making some kind of design in the lawn. I had to go upstairs and look out a window to see what it was. Can you tell what it says? As if that wasn't enough, he also went to the front yard and made a big horseshoe in the grass! Then he hung a wooden horseshoe our neighbors made for him on the garage...and then hung a picture on the front door from the big game last year. He's crazy...but I love 'em!

Colts Fans

Here are the die hard Colt's Fans. I (Kim) can't say that I am a die hard fan, (I can't sit thru a game on TV for that long), but I enjoy watching my family love it so much.

Biker Chic's Camp Out

The girls had a camp out...well until about 11:30pm and then they all came inside. They had their s'mores, then really roughed it by watching a DVD movie in the tent until they were ready to come inside.

Labor Day Fun

More Reds

Reds Game

Kim is in love with Ken Griffey Jr. so we took the family to a Reds game so Kim could see her man up close and personal. Our seats were right next to the dugout and at one point I yelled at Griffey and he gave me the "what's up nod" it was special.

School Times

The girls are back to school. Camilla is a big first grader and attends school all day. This was a little adjustment for her, but she has been very brave. Courtney is a big 5th grader which means her class is the oldest in the school... so she thinks she's pretty hot stuff! I don't know what school is like out west, but they have to be in school by the first bell that rings at 7:50 a.m. So, it is back to a routine and no more late nights... which is very hard at the Clark's house.

13 years ago...

Nothing has changed much in thirteen years...

except a "little" grey hair, a few kids and some unwanted wrinkles,

but other than that we are going stronger than ever!

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Birthday Michael

Michael celebrated his 36th Birthday on Saturday. We had the family over for cake and ice cream. I think he had a fun day! His big present is going to the Reds Baseball game next weekend. We have seats right behind the Red's dugout...so he's really excited.

Furniture Has Arrived!

On Wednesday our furniture finally arrived after seven weeks of patiently waiting. The only thing missing is our lamps which are ordered, but not in yet. The "motion" sofa, loveseat and recliner have the most comfortable fabric we've ever felt. You just kind of melt into the fabric. And all of them recline. I have a feeling this picture of Michael (and Alex) will be a familiar sight from now on. Even though my expression doesn't show it in this picture, I am very happy with the way it turned out.
