5 months...

Our Baby Clark is 5 months old today! He is really such a good baby :).

Here is a picture of him on his 5 month birthday!


Yesterday Clark had his first rice cereal.

He was pretty distracted by the colorful bib he was wearing...


So after switching to a much more boring bib, he was more interested in the food.

Then, let's not forget the awesome mess babies make while they eat!

It wasn't that bad, but I only gave him a little bit. I'm sure his favorite part will be the mess :)

It is strange that I've waited so long to feed him cereal. Usually I am strapping them into the high chair at 4 months and away we go. I think it was better this way though. He ate really well and I think he's just ready to start eating. They grow up so fast!

Here are his stats from me as of today

Height - 27 inches (maybe 27 1/2)

Weight - 20 lbs

I think he's been spending the last month growing longer and his weight is trying to slow down a bit. He is still really calm and pretty easy going. We all just love our Baby Clark!

Its Official

After all the studying Jeff passed the Patent Bar on September 03, 2010. Then the waiting to make sure his moral character was sufficient to be an agent and then came the certificate. Congratulations! Next up the February Texas Bar Exam.

We Love to Read!

I got the photo :). Here's Talmage reading to Clark!

I was also able to get some video. He says Clark likes it. I think it's cute because he holds the book so Clark can see it too... however there are no pictures to look at, just lots of words :). 

If it's not the thumb...

it's the tongue. Our little Clark loves to leave his little tongue poking out of his mouth. Well, that is of course, if he's not sucking his thumb, or finger. It is adorable! I like to call him my little tonguer ;).

Before the tongue pics here is a cute one of Mhari hanging out with her Baby brother. She really loves being with him so much. Earlier that night Talmage was reading a Hardy Boys book to him. I'm sad I missed taking that picture :(.


Profile view of the tongue!

Happy Baby

So cute! Jeff said he reminds him of Snoopy with his little tongue poking out :).

Jeff holding Clark on his shoulders - still with the tongue out :)

He will give kisses too - also known as sucking on your face :)

He's such a sweet baby. I just love my Baby Clark!

They do the cutest things!

Night Furry

Our kids really like the movie "How to Train Your Dragon". They have started pretending to be Toothless, the main dragon. I have even had requests for next year's Halloween costumes. I think they do a fine job with just blankets... maybe I won't have to make anything else :). They are great pretenders!


Grant has also lost 2 more teeth... becoming more like Toothless everyday.

They are growing up so fast! Grant said that he looks like a jack-o-lantern... I think he's right :).

2nd grade performance

A few weeks ago Talmage had his 2nd grade performance at the school. It was "It's going to be a good night" (or something like that). The hard part about these performances is unless you get there super early you don't get good seats and then the pictures just aren't that great. Sorry about that.

Talmage knew all of the songs and did really well. He was on the top row on the far left side. Here he is when they first started.


Some of the hand motions to the songs. I think it's from the "Good Night" song.

I think this one's from the Halloween hand jive song.

More hand jive going on :)

Sorry it took so long to blog, but there's not that much going on. I should take more pictures of the baby... or something exciting :).

Happy November!

For Halloween this year we all went as cowboys and cowgirls. Grandma and Grandpa had gotten Jeff and most of the kids cowboy hats this summer and I thought it would be cute to have them all cowboyed up for Halloween. It also made costume making much easier :). I went to my cheap thrift store and picked up lots of plaid shirts for Jeff and I and also to cut down to kid sizes. I was able to get shirts for everyone for just over $4!

Here are all of the kids dressed up and ready to go - they even have their stick horses to ride!



Our little Punkin cowgirl. She was so cute with the hat... too bad she wouldn't wear it once we got to the trunk or treat.




Sandra was not the biggest fan of our Halloween costumes. I think she would've rather been a princess, but she sure is one cute cowgirl! She liked the pink bandanna and I made her shirt have ruffle sleeves so that helped her cause :)

Grant was a very handsome cowboy. He also got to wear his shirt and bandanna to school that week for western wear day (all the older kids wore their cowboy clothes to school). I knew that it was a good idea to have cowboy clothes while we live in Texas ;)

Talmage was a nice looking cowboy too. He really got into the spirit of the costume. While trick or treating one of the ladies said she had to see a trick to get a treat so Talmage did the "giddy up cowboy" and moved his hand like he was roping. Too cute :)

Our Punkin in the pumpkin area. It was fun to see all the carved pumpkins :)

Clark was also dressed up, but very simply. He had a plaid shirt and blue jeans. Let's just say it wasn't on my list to make him a little bandanna. He fit right in with mommy and daddy with our plaid shirts :).

I know one day I'll not appreciate it, but right now I think it's so cute that he sucks his thumb :)

We had a very nice Halloween at the trunk or treat and it made it so that Sunday was a nice Sabbath day. The kids don't even have that much candy... maybe they'll get it eaten before Thanksgiving this year :)
