Kids at Christmas

Here are a few quick videos of our kids on Christmas, courtesy of Catherine.

Tanner and his always smiling face.

There are two of Aine, but she is such a smoozer in front of the camera, especially when Aunt Catie is doing the recording.

This one is our favorite and requires some translation for all of you who don't speak Aine.

Aine: I am Aine. I is three. I even got my doll. Yesterday I got my dolls. See it turn around.

Catherine: Hmm... Hmm

Aine: I three. Ah. I is at Grandpa Burpee's (Durfee)

Catherine: Mmhmm

Aine: I am a a prince-ariace(princess). I am a coming my house. Aine's my o-o-o. Aine saying the kids AHHH! Because I Aine ...(not sure of that word, maybe princess again)... bye.

Some of My Easter Blessings

These are a few of the blessings I have this Easter season and I hope to keep forever because of Christ's sacrifice and resurrection...

The family traditions that help me to remember.

This one symbolizing the new birth of resurrection and the gift of life that Christ gives us.

newest to join our family, and enjoying his first spring.

the small and special things in the world outside.

Time to watch my children grow and experience life

I’m grateful for this season, especially as Easter falls on the Sunday of Conference weekend. I’m reminded of the great gifts and sacrifices that Jesus Christ has made for me and my family. He has given us the chance to receive bodies and live on the earth together as our little Clark family. We are learning and growing together. We are moving forward to the greatest gift of all, eternal life and exaltation as a family,

all made possible because of Christ.

Tanner's Baby Blessing

Tanner received his baby blessing today. This morning, when I was putting him in his nice white suit, I had to do a double take. I couldn't believe I was getting him ready for his baby blessing already. Spencer gave him the blessing with his dad, my dad, Tanner's uncles Dan, Chad, Dave, Morley, and Abraham in the circle. I believe this was Abraham's first baby blessing. It won't be long before he will be turning in his mission papers, I'm so proud of him.

In Tanner's baby blessing Spencer mentioned that Tanner has been born to loving parents. He also acknowledged that Tanner has come into a world that can be full of darkness and evil. He blessed him with strength to overcome temptations and to be a good example to those around him. He blessed him with health and strength. He also blessed him to be able to serve a mission and that Heavenly Father will open doors for him while he is out serving. He blessed him to be worthy to marry a daughter of God in the temple and to follow the promptings of the Spirit.

I am so grateful for Spencer and that he is worthy to faithfully hold the priesthood and give our children baby blessings. With both Tanner and Aine he has started to consider what he was going to say in their baby blessings as soon as we found out I was pregnant. He has put a lot of thought and consideration into both their blessings. He is such a sweet father. I am thankful for the power of the priesthood and the comfort that as our kids are beginning their lives in this world that they can receive these special blessings.

More Pictures From Tanner's Birthday

We finally got the pictures developed from the little point and shoot camera Spencer bought at the hospital gift store when Tanner was born. Enjoy and sorry for the poor picture quality.

That little weight says 6 lbs 12.5 oz. They decided to round it up to 6 lbs 13 oz. He was 20 inches long. Only an inch longer than Aine.

Getting cleaned up and getting his first shot. His lips look so puffy to me... pucker up!

Proud parent shots:

Oh, get him warmed up, he looks cold!

That's better :)

First Bath: They didn't let Spencer do it like they did with Aine, but they did bring him back with a cute mohawk.

Well, there you have it. There were a few more, but they were well worth keeping off the blog! :) Sorry it took 2 months to get these up.
