For real this time... three kids in our family!

We wanted to let everyone know....... Clark baby #3 will be arriving sometime around July 6, 2008! We are so excited to have another sweet, little one in our home. We'll give updates in the future when we have more details! For now, I'll just give you some dialogue from a very excited and concerned future big brother, Hayden keeps telling us things that we need to buy or do before the baby comes. Here are just a few:

Hayden: Mom, I know the most important thing we need to have a baby.
Kari: What is it?
Hayden: Clothes. Tiny, little clothes.

Hayden: Mom, we need to get a pacifier for the new baby.
Kari: OK.
Hayden: Because if Ana hits or punches the baby, I'll put the pacifier in it's mouth.

Hayden: Mom, we need to get a fence for the stairs.
Kari: You're right, we'll need one of those.
Hayden: Ya, I would be so sad if the baby tumbled down the stairs.

As you can see, he's taking his big brother duties very seriously. I'll need all the help I can get protecting the baby from Ana. Just kidding, she's really excited for a new baby, too!

Great Grandpa and Grandmom Clark

While in Utah over Christmas, we visited Hayden and Ana's Great Grandpa and Grandmom Clark. The kids loved seeing them and we took a few really cute photos while there. It was so fun to talk to and spend time with them.

Christmas 2007

We spent almost two weeks in Utah over Christmas and New Years - we had a blast! All of Rob's brothers and sisters were home, so we had so much fun hanging out with everyone and being crazy with the Clarks. Some of the highlights: sledding, girls night out to get pedicures, visit to Great Grandpa and Grandmom Clark, awesome food (thanks Wendy and Rob) and playing the Wii till all hours of the night.

Gingerbread House

The only thing that Hayden wanted to do before Christmas this year was build a gingerbread house. So he and I made one while the little kids were napping - he did a fantastic job - it turned out really cute!
