Fun Saturdays!

Well we had lots of Fun on Saturday. First we headed off to a great soccer game and then we came home to play all day in the Sun! Spencer wanted to show you his coconut tree. He picked it out himself and can't wait for it to grow! Julia is in charge of the strawberry plants, so I'll have to rotate that pic and then post it. Here are Julia and Madi showing off the Lime tree. They have the biggest fruit of them all so far. They are excited to mix lemon and lime to make sprite. We'll see how that goes. And here are Madi and Spencer showing off their doggy Ella. They adore her. Madi like to run through sprinklers with Ella, it's pretty funny to watch! The kids didn't get sunburnt, just a nice glow, but Doug and I got the sun pretty bad and I'm paying for it today. Some day I'll learn.

Taxes Taxes Taxes

Happy Tax Season to All! We're just glad it's over
for this year. Taxes are always complicated when
you're married to a Clark, but we had the joy of
dealing with Oregon, Utah and Texas states in
one tax year! Hopefully this next year won't be so complex! Thanks Doug for figuring it all out!

Sawyer is walking!

Okay I'm not that smart and don't know how to rotate this picture. But Sawyer is now walking and is very good at holding things while walking. Here is was walking with no shoes, which is a brave thing in this yucky soccer grass, cause it has thorns everywhere. But apparently it didn't bother him.

The First Soccer Game!

The First Game! Here are the two cute soccer players. We decided to play them on the same team this year because it's their first and it's easier for us to just go to one game and one practice. They both love it so far! Julia is #4 and Spencer is #3.

The Race is On!

This is from a couple of weeks ago, but it's funny because Julia and Doug are racing each other on their Nintendo DS things. Julia's pretty good and can almost beat him.

Deal of the Week!

I have found the deal of the week! Kroger is having a mega sale and you get $5 off every 10 things you buy(which are also on Sale). So, of course I'm scouring the ad and have a plan to go everyday to buy 30 things(which is the limit per time). Okay I'm not going to go everyday, but I've gone 2 times and Doug has gone 1 time so far.

Here's what I got last night for $21.00 (and try to think food storage for a year)
26 cake mixes ($.50 per box) and 4 crisco oil containers(don't know size right now). I was so excited to get such a deal, I have never seen cake mixes for so cheap. And I use the cake mixes to make cookies, cobbler, and cakes of course. So, we will be able to use them all.

Doug spent $18 and got the following:
10 bags of goldfish ( $.50)
10 32oz gatorades ($.50)
10 cake mixes ($.50)

And then my trip this morning was pretty fun.
I got some pizza crusts, cookie mixes, more gatorade and brownie mix.

You may think this is a ton of food and it is, but I try to store up food around General Conference time and this couldn't have come at a better time. All I know is that if there is ever a crisis and shortage of food, I'll be here baking cookies or cake. It's fun to have extras and fun stuff to have in any emergency.

I guess that's all the excitement for now. Happy Shopping!
