Fun With Friends

Clark and Merrik riding Merrik's Jeep.




Clark at the park with Logan and Cora eating Cantaloupe. Yummy!




I put a video of Clark and Merrik riding around in Merrik's Jeep. I just love how they don't look where they are going when they press the gas pedle!

Playing at the Beach Club

Yesterday Clark and I joined some friends at the Beach Club to go swimming. It was a georgous day and I never had been to join in the water activities.
Clark got to play with Loga, Cannon, Ocean and Sage while us moms got to chit chat. :)





As you can see, Clark was also enjoying his watermelon while swimming.

A day at the Beach Club/Lake

This last week my cousin John and his family, Vivi (beautiful wife, but I didn't get a picture of her, sorry Vivi!), Anika (beautiful daughter) and Blane (handsom son) came to visit. I haven't seen John since I was in high school, so it's been about 15 years. I think Clint and I just started dating when I last saw him. They live in El Paso so we don't get to see him that much. On Friday we all went to the RSM Lake by my house. The lake has a lagoon that you can swim in and has a sandy "beach" and sun chairs along with picinic tables with BBQs. It's called the Beach Club and part of our membership of the RSM association gets us access to this and the 10 or so other parks in RSM.

There is also a volleyball court which provided a great place to dig in the sand for the kids. (Clint included). I love that he got right in there and I am pretty sure he came home with just as much sand in his pants and shoes as Clark did! I am especially thankful that he was the one digging because I hate the sand.

Clint and Clark after Clark just threw a shovel of sand in Clint's face:

The lake also has it's resident fowl. There is a variety of ducks and Canadian geese. As you can see they are large geese. Some of them as big as Clark, but for the most part, they are fairly tame. Providing us with lots of entertainment for Clark. He ran after the geese for at least a half hour each time. He even went down by the lake (always with an adult) and ran after the ducks too.





Clint even got into the running arond afte the geese and Clark thought it was even more fun to have Dad running after the geese with him!




I got some other pictures too.
Clint, my dad and John. I caught my dad and John enjoying the yummy food. Sorry guys!

Clark trying to put on my boots. He does this with Clint's work boots also.

Clark is FACINATED with trucks. We will be driving around and he'll see a truck and say "Truck, truck!" Then he says "More!" Like I can controll the trucks on the road. He also loves these toy trucks I got him.


Lastly, Clark has started taking off his diaper after we put it on him. He undid one side then said, "It broke!"

It's in the Jeans/Genes

See these jeans?



They are the EXACT same pair my brother and I wore when we were Clark's age. So they are a pair of Levi jeans that are just about 30 years old!
Last night we were visiting my mom and dad. Earlier that day, I had been thinking that I really should be carring around an extra set of clothes for Clark. I use to always carry some when he was younger because we usually would need the extra outfit, but now we usually don't have issues execpt when he upends a water bottle on us both, soaking both of us! Thankfully I put the sweater in my bag.
The other funny thing about the pants is this:

See the pants hanging on the wall? Yep, those are the same ones I put on Clark after he poured the water on us. My family likes to hang clothes on the wall for art. Hey, they are 30 year old pants, so it's allowed! :)

A Day at the Beach

The great thing about the Army is that every time you have a holiday you not only get the one holiday off, you get an extra day. So since Monday is Memorial Day, Clint also got Friday off. Thankfully it was an awesome day for the beach.




We went to Laguan Beach to Shaw's Cove because you can park close and it's a nice beach that isn't too populated. This beach also has some rock formations that allow for water to pool up and for us to play in. Since there was a little pool of water, next to some rocks I was able to show Clark sand crabs. They are these little shelled creatures that make great fishing bate, and are a lot of fun to play with.




I got this picture off the internet. It's a GIANT sand crab but the ones we were playing with were little babies. About 1/8 of an inch long.

Clark was totally freaked out at first, but eventually warmed up to playing with them. Clint would pick one up then Clark would pick it up and throw it back into the water. Oh and for the record, I was the one who originally dug them up to show Clark. I'm not a sissy all the time. :)
