Just an update of our lives the last few weeks.
On the 12th of July we were able to tour the Twin Falls temple with our little ole family. It was a hot day outside but the temple was sooo beautiful. The boys enjoyed going in and seeing all the pretty rooms. Mason liked the sealing room as he could see himself forever in the mirrors. After the temple we drove down to Shoshone Falls to show the boys the actual falls that was painted on the walls in the temple. That was the highlight for mom. I really enjoyed looking at the falls. After the falls we went to Wendy's house and got ready for our photo shoot we had planned that day. Lucinda Higley does awesome photographs and I wanted her to take some pictures of our kids. They turned out great I think, but she had great subjects to use.
The following days after our eventful day in Jerome Ella started to smile at people. She especially loves to smile at her daddy then her mommy. I see how I rate in her world, I do all the work and dad gets all the attention.
On July 18th, Wendy and I finally spread our mom's ashes. We took them to one of our favorite places mom would take us and put them in the water. I know that I got my love of the water from my mom. She loved the sun and water. In the summer you could always find her outdoors enjoying the sun some way or another. This was our way of honoring her and her love for us and the sun and water. It was a sunny day and the water was cold as expected.
The next day was Melaleuca's Summer Picnic for employees. It was a very hot day but the breeze was nice. They had quite a set up. They had all you can eat popcorn, cotton candy and snow cones as well as all you can drink Pepsi products. They had a mini carnival for the kids, a rock wall, mini golf course, tons of big inflatable things and a horse ride area for the kids as well. The event was catered by a local restaurant; The Hardhat Cafe. The food was terrific. All throughout the day the company gave away prizes to employees, the only catch was you had to be present to win. Some of the prizes included Wii's, patio furniture, camping gear, electric drills, grills and much much more to be exact. The grand prize was a Caribbean cruise or a trip for 4 to Disneyland. Jef unfortunately did not win anything....except a helicopter ride at the picnic. He was allowed to take one person with him and he chose me. It was a lot of fun and a great experience. Jef is really liking his job and as you can see the perks are pretty good so far.
Now that we are closer to Jeremy's family we were able to go to the hospital and see Sarah and Mikelle. She is such a sweetie, probably all those drugs still in her system. Just kidding! She is really cute.
Pioneer Day! The boys partcipated in their first parade. It was with my grandma's stake and the kids and whoever wanted paraded (is that a word?) around the parking lot. The boys thought it would be more fun than it was. Oh well!
Sorry for the long post just trying to catch up with all the Clark happenings.

Your kids are so stinking cute!!! I love the pictures of the falls. I told Tim we should do that after we tour next week, but he doesn't believe me that they are close by. But everyone who has been has said they stopped there too! So I guess I MUST be right! :D
I hope you are all doing well! We miss you!

they are just a few miles away really! I grew up going there all the time. There is also a lake and stuff you can swim at on the same road. You should totally do this there is a huge mural of the falls in the endowment room.
Cool! Thanks! I guess I'll have to mapquest it to prove it to him! He still didn't believe me! :D
Im glad you had fun with your family and with Jef. Next time when you are in Twin let us know. By the way your pictures are adorable of the kids
What a great weekend!!!! It was good to see you guys for that short amount of time. It was great to hear about your mother and what she loved. I cried to know more about her. She loves you girls so much even still. But you know that!!!!
PS the pictures of the kids are adorable!!

PS I hope you don't mind I added you to our link list:)
We love our temple, too...with all the things we are involved in and are doing and will do at the temple this month, I think I can lovingly call it "our" temple. The pictures of the kids are so cute...love it when the babies start to smile. Your Mom's a great lady and I know she is very proud of her girls. Yes, work perks are great and you will have some fantastic ones, geared for families. My kids I thought always enjoyed decorating their wagons and bikes and dressing up western for the 24th parades...but then again, maybe not, they will all say they probably don't remember. Hope to see everyone soon.
I enjoyed reading your update of your family. Great photos of the kids. Hope you love Idaho Falls. We loved our short stay there.
It was so fun to see the pictures of your cute family. Ella looks like a sweet baby and so pretty. I am happy for the fun things you have been doing. Sounds like the job is going well. Hope we get to see you the next time we get to go to visit Ryan's family, although it will probably be a while.
Miss you!!!
Julie
