Our Summer So Far……

Wow its almost the end of July and pretty soon Summer will be gone!  Pretty much our summers are the same every year, hopefully someone else’s are too!   Throw in birthday parties, baseball, too many I’m Bored!, sleeping in late and going to bed early.  Ok so that is only a dream of mine.  Sometimes I need just a few hours of pure silence with zero children and watching the many shows we have on our DVR plus drooling over the yummy food on the Food Network channel. 

My girls both have birthdays in June, five days apart.  There are lots of parties to plan and cakes to bake.  Bailee turned NINE and is growing into a beautiful girl!  She is a great helper with Sadie and Malia.  She is my go to girl and I love having her in our home.  This year she had a Ice Cream party and we had fun making our own ice cream in a bag.  She had tons of fun with her friends.   

We had a fun day celebrating her birthday. 

For Malia’s 4th birthday we had a Princess Party!

All her fiends came dressed up in their princess clothes and had a tea party. 

We had crown PB&J sandwiches.

Red Jello Jiggler Shoes

and Princess Cupcakes

Her princess castle cake

Malia had a blast being a princess for the day!

it’s a pet, it’s a pillow, it’s a pillow pet!!!

Braden finished baseball and I’m thrilled its over!  Braden excels in every sport he has tried and I’m glad he takes after his dad on that one.  I do not have one athletic bone in my body unless you count dancing!

 

This boy is so dang cute! 

and we cant forget Sadie!  Here she is on her first 4th of July

The Things We Have Done

So a lot of things have been going on in the Clark Household!  Sadie was blessed on June 5, by her sweet daddy and wore an amazing blessing dress.  Which happens to be made from my wedding dress!  I thought I would put it to better use than sitting in a pretty box on my dirty shelf in the garage.  She looked so beautiful and I loved every minute of that special day.  Sadie must have known that it was her special day also, because she was so happy and always had  a smile on her face.

Sadie turned two months as well and is growing like a weed.  I need her to slow down and stay little!  She weighs a whopping 12 lbs and 1 oz

I love this picture, she is giving me kisses! I sure love this baby girl!

We have been enjoying watching Braden play baseball every Monday and Wednesday.  He is quite the little ball player.  This year is his first at coach pitch and he does quite well!  I love that he is competitive but that also means he can get frustrated easy if its not going well for him. One thing for sure is that he has an awesome throw!

Bailee has  been interested in Tennis and is enjoying how to play.  Its good to try something new and I think she is doing great for a beginner! 

Malia celebrated her 4th Birthday and Bailee  is now 9!  I cant believe how old my kids are getting!  More to come on all the birthday celebrations!

A Beautiful Baby Indeed!

A good friend of mine introduced to me a photographer who does amazing work!  I’m glad I went because they turned out super cute!  This are from when Sadie was three weeks old!  I could just look at them all day!  I love you Sadie Girl!

Sadie is One Month

our little Sadie girl is a month old!  Well she has been a month for a few weeks now, I’m just a little late writing about it.

She has been quite the little angel baby!  Only getting up once in the night, and sometimes she sleeps through the night!!!  I couldn’t have asked for anything better!  Sadie has learned to smile and occasionally giggle.  However, much to her moms effort, she prefers daddy to make her smile.  That’s okay because I know that I’m number 1 in her little world.   I’m the only one who can calm this little cutie down

This is such a great picture!  I love that me and my  friends all have babies together.  There is one lady missing and she has a two month old.  Its been fun enjoying the stresses of having kids together!

A Food and Shopping Vacation

This weekend was all about ME!!!  Well must of it, Cameron had to go to Boise for a work conference about Diabetes and I tagged  along.  His work provided a hotel for him on Thursday night, because the the conference was the next day at 8:00am.  We dropped off our three oldest kids at Grandma and Grandpa’s and our mini vacation started. 

We got to Boise around 7:00 and ate a the yummiest place ever to have a salad.

not just any old salad, the Luau Salad

Yummo!!! I ate the whole thing!  I would have licked the plate clean but we were in a restaurant and I do have manners!  Of course after our meals we ordered our cheesecakes to go to eat later.  Or in my case, save it for breakfast the next morning! 

Friday I was free to do whatever I wanted.  So me and Sadie got ready for the day and headed out to meet up with my sister in law, Collette, to have again another yummy meal. 

 

It was good to catch up with Collette and for her to meet Sadie.  After lunch I headed to Ross to find some sweet treasures, but with no luck.  I was looking for some clothes but nothing fit my new post baby frumpy body.  After the conference, we hit the mall.  I love the Boise’s mall, so much more than our dinky little mall.  But again, I didn’t have much success with the clothing departments either.  I have been blessed with a large chest thanks to nursing and I haven't found much that will cover and be cute  at the same time.  I did however, find three shirts that will work, and the best part was they were $5.   So what does one do after a day of shopping….

You eat at Red Robin of course!

Thanks hunny for the great weekend, and on Monday my diet will begin along with some serious workouts!  I must get this body back into shape for summer. 

Sadie Kathleen Clark

We  are loving having a new baby in the house!  We can’t get enough of her cute little face and sweet personality!  Sadie is almost 3weeks old and it makes me sad that they can’t stay tiny forever.  Sadie is so calm during the day and hardly ever makes a peep unless she is hungry.  Even then,  she only whimpers.  Bailee, Braden and Malia  love it when she is awake (which is a rare occurrence ) and they LOVE holding her. 

We are lucky to have such a sweet baby come into our home!
