Easter

Sunday we had a big Easter egg hunt @ Grandma Ray's house, followed by one of her famous meals!! We all planted flowers in our back yard in memory of Clay. Thanks again for all the kind words, Kim and I feel so blessed to have all of you as family. We are excited to see everyone, can't wait intil July. Love, Indiana Clark's

Florida Vacation

Sorry we've slacked on our blog, we were in Florida for the past couple of weeks and as many of you know Kim's Cousin and my work partner, Clay Priebe passed away. He was nineteen years old. Thanks for the phone calls and kind words, we will miss him dearly.

Snow?!

Today we woke up with about 4 1/2 inches of snow on the ground. We were enjoying nice spring-like weather...until today. Camilla had a great time anyway.

Spring Cleaning

We bought some land next to our house so we can have a room addition some day, we are in the process of cutting down trees and cleaning it up. Don't you just love Camilla's pose!

Greg's Baptism

If you haven't met him yet, this is Greg Price, Kelly's husband. He was baptized March 12th by his friend and new brother-in-law Michael. He was taught by two of the greatest Missionaries I've ever had the chance to meet, Elder Turner and Elder Darrah, both from Oregon. Greg has been coming to church for about five months now, he's even been teaching primary with Kelly. It's been amazing to see Greg and Kelly progress in the gospel. We're lucky to have them as friends as well as neighbors, they bought a home two houses down from us.

Having fun with the girls

Dad wasn't sure about this, but Courtney had her ears pierced at the mall Saturday. It went smooth until she turned ghost white and almost fainted. Isn't she too grown up!
Courtney and Camilla love to shave with Dad's shaving cream. I caught them in the act.
Busted!

Want a haircut?

Camilla got a little too close to her cousin's ear when shaving his head. A five year old with a razor, what could possibly go wrong? It seemed like a good idea at the time. Clay is fine, he finally let Michael finish the job .

Chuckie Cheese!!

Since Monday was President's Day there was no school for the kids, so Kim and her friend Kate decided to take the kids to Chuckie Cheese! The kids had a lot of fun, but talk about Crazy!! I think every parent in the Indianapolis area had the same idea!

Sunday Evenings at the Clark's

Clark's Home on Sunday Evenings is filled with loud laughter and some evil speaking. Well...I wouldn't go that far, but, there are lots of crazy kids running around, including the neighbors with triplets (5 kids under the age of 6). We always fix a treat for the clan. This week Cole and Courtney were the cooks with Kim adding a healthy twist, which didn't go over so well with the adults craving the real deal! Courtney and Cole made chocolate chip cookies with whole wheat flour and splenda in place of sugar. They were good and Kim felt a little better about eating them since she's trying to be more health conscious. (Health Tip: If you really want to eliminate more you can change your brown sugar by using a splenda and mollasses mixture instead.)

Halloween 2005

Here is our last annual Halloween Party. See if you can recognize the people. Do you recognize the oompa loompa couple? Or Ozzy and Sharon Ozbourne? And who are the Chinese Freaks? Can you find Deb from Napoleon Dynamite? Let me know what you think!

Gone Golfin

This was a classic picture of one of Courtney's signs posted on our back door. She and her dad went on thier first official Golf outing together.

Kelly & Greg's Wedding

Kelly and Greg were married on September 10, 2005. It was a beautiful wedding. Kelly looked so beautiful and Greg looked like a stud! It was a very eventful two days of Dinner Parties, the Wedding and Reception. Everyone had so much fun dancing and being crazy. Kim was exhausted from playing Matron of Honor and Wedding Planner, but in the end it was awesome. Michael started off the reception with a speech to the bride and groom while breaking out into the running man dance! It was quite the sight. Courtney was a Junior Bridesmaid and Camilla was the flower Girl. They did a great job!

Camilla's New Pet

Camilla and Dad had fun picking out her new friend "Racecar" the gecko
This one's name is "Speedy"
I think she has a love of reptiles like her Uncle Darren.

Courtney's Sleep Over

Eight screaming nine year old girls, and one little sister, priceless.
She's growing up too fast!
It wasn't that bad, they fell asleep at 3:00 a.m.
Yes, American Idol rules in this household.

Christmas 2005

Camilla participated in her preschool Christmas Program.

She played a shepherd.

Camilla at her Christmas Program

Christmas Cookie Drop Night.

I think they ate too much left over icing.

Michael played the role of Santa at our Church Christmas Party.

He did such a great job, his own daughter, Camilla, was scared too death of him.

We finally talked her into sitting on his lap.
