Celebrating the big 10th

A photographer at the resort took some fun pictures on the grounds there although some are cheesy, I thought it would be a good keepsake for us!!!

Me showing off that I was up on Clark 3 games when we landed in Salt lake

Not the best picture but this guy cracked me up he was a tiny little fire eating limbo master!!!

Lounging at the pool. We liked this pool because you could swim right up to the bar and get a drink it was fun.

This was the pizza restaurant that we spent so much time at playing cards and waiting for ever for their yummy pizza

I found a way to lay on my stomach and get some sun on my back

I was not a fan of their desserts so when I got a sugar craving we walked down this path to a little store to get M&M's They struggle with chocolate in Antigua

We ate breakfast on the balcony some morning we had a great view of the resort

Lunch on the beach

I just wanted to show how huge the resort was and this was just one side. There was a whole other section

Pretty view of the resort

We went to a small church branch in St. Johns, Antiqua they met upstairs above this store. It is always fun to go to church at these small little branches.

This is a silly picture Clark tried to take of me through the heart shaped towels the maids put on our bed.

They would turn down our bed at night an occasionally do something cute like this.

As scary as it is I wanted to remember that I was 5 months pregnant on this trip.

We loved sipping on smoothies and reading a good book on the beach. It doesn't get much better that that.

dinner time

This was a night shot on the beach and you can't tell but the ocean is behind us we had fun at night talking in lounge chairs on the beach

Yes we ate a lot

These our our new friends we met from Mississippi that was there on their honeymoon (Robert and Kami)

At this Japanese restaurant you got to watch them prepare the food right in front of you, so you ate with about five other couples which was fun to meet people from all around.

One of our other favorite pass times sleeping!!!

It is crazy to think Clark and I have been married for 10 years. Wow has it flown by. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband he is stuck with me for eternity. He spoils me so much. He works so hard for our family. He knows what a Cache Valley girl I am and he makes his job work around us living here which I am so grateful that our kids can be around both grandparents and cousins they love .We are blessed to have him around more that most dads and he helps out so much with the kids and they adore him. He is a better house wife that I am. I struggle cooking meat and he never complains he is always willing to help out with dinner. I don't remember the last time I mopped the floor or scrubbed the bathroom he always has that covered. He is the best example to me and the girls I always find him reading his scriptures or studying the gospel he is always setting and achieving goals spiritually, physically and educationally. He is always striving to be a better person and I love that about him. He is always teaching the girls as well. We have been on so many adventures together. He truly is my best friend. Clark thanks for the most amazing 10 years. I am so excited to spend and eternity with you. I love you!!!!

For our Anniversary Clark took me to a beautiful resort Sandals Grande Antigua for 7 days it was wonderful. We did not go on one of the excursions. We just relaxed, read books, swam, and slept. We have been on too many vacations were you run from one thing to the next and you are more tired when you get home that when you left. The Resort was a blast and the grounds were gorgeous. The Only time we left the resort was to go to church, at a little branch in St. Johns the people were very friendly. When you leave the resort I'm not a huge fan of Antiqua. The roads are very narrow plus they drove on the other side of the road, they fly low and honked for all the goats to get out of their way. It helped me to appreciate Clarks crazy driving. But all the beaches were beautiful that we saw on the roller coaster drive. Back at the resort we went to the spa to get couples massage. She thought Clark how to give a real message, I've yet to see if it pays off. Those could be very addicting. We had so much fun playing our favorite game Skip-Bo which started when we were newly weds and we were short on cash so we would go and play at the park for our dates. (Its funny how things some times don't change) We had and on going tournament throughout the trip and the winner got a bag of M&M's. I was ahead of Clark by 3 games when we landed in Salt Lake. (Sorry honey I want Almond please!) We played a lot while waiting at this pizza restaurant we loved the pizza it was the best we have had. This was one of the most relaxing trips I have been on. At night we would get cleaned up and go to dinner and then they always had some form of entertainment. We saw some talent shows, a magician, the fire eating guy and we went to a karaoke bar with some friends we met. It was hard to leave our kids, we didn't get to talk to them much because it cost so much to call from there. But it was nice to focus on each other. The kids didn't even miss us they had so much fun with their grandparents and cousins. Before we left I wrapped up some dollar store treats and put a note with it for them to open each day. They thought it was so cool. I think they were sad to see us come home because the gifts stopped. This was such a fun way to celebrate our ten years together.

1st Grade Patriotic Program

On Thursday we went to Samantha's 1st grade program it was so cute. It was a patriotic program. Each class was dressed in something different and Sammie's class was dressed like Uncle Sam. She said her favorite song they sang was "Your a grand old flag" Samantha did a great job and sang her little heart out. Grandma Carol and Grandpa Kent brought Brooklynn and Kenedy (cousins)to watch and support Sammie.They have been working hard preparing for this program and they did great!!!

It's a Boy

two very excited big sisters

We are so excited to announce we are having a little boy. The girls are so excited to have a little brother. Clarks is thinking it is nice to not be so out numbered. We still have him by one so when it comes down to a vote the girls will still rule!!! He looks healthy and all went well at the Doctors appointment. We can expect him to arrive around July 25th

Our trip to California and Hawaii

I thought this picture was funny because it showed the 3 hour time difference are girls were exausted by 7:00pm

This is the whole crew that went

girls with uncle Devin

The girls trying to say Aloha

The Statue of the famous Duke surfer

got to love the huge snow cones

These girls from Japan asked to get a picture with the girls I thought it was so cute they love american kids!!!

Saige thinks she is a swimsuit model

one of the few time Saige actually got wet

While in Huntington Beach we went to visit Clarks Grandpa's grave it was good for the girls to hear stories about their great grandpa .

Hanging at the Peir

This was so funny to watch more and more people kept joining in and the drumming just kept getting louder

Saige watching the drummers

Sage atleast got her feet in the sand it seems funny to see a winter coat on the beach

We decided to take the girls to Hawaii over Presidents weekend wich probably wasn't the smartest choice. We flew standby and the flight were filled up full we were able to get to Los Angles so we stayed there for a couple of nights. We went to Orange County to Huntington Beach were Clark's mom grew up. We went and walked around the pier even though the water was freezing Samantha our beach bum could not resist and rolled up her pants and headed in. Saige was asleep in the car for a while. She woke up the night before we left with the croup so she did not fee really hot for most of the trip but she had fun watching a bunch of people at the beach play drums and dance around. There was some interesting people that decided to join in. Monday morning we were able to get out to Hawaii. We decided to dedicate this trip to what the kids wanted to do so we spent most of the time at the beach and the swimming pool. Sammie had fun playing in the waves and we rented her a boogie board that she had fun riding the waves in on. Saige is like her mom we prefer heated pools so we waded our feet and stuck to the warm sand. Saige had fun building sand castles and watching some crabs crawl on the rocks. At the beach you could get enormous snow cones which were so yummy. It was so nice not to have a schedule.

Valentines

I didn't catch a picture of Saige on Valentines but the had a fun party at her pre-school class and had her first experience with the whole Valentine thing she was so cute she shared all her treats with her friend Kaitlyn and her sister Sammie the first day she got them. In Sammie's class party we took pictures of all the kids in her class. It was so cute. It was funny to watch the boys freak out that we make them bring the girls a cookie and a drink. I was glad I could be a part of Sammie's class party.
