Trey Ran a Marathon Today!

Trey had never run more than 3 miles consecutively in his life, but when his co-worker couldn't run the Marathon this weekend, he agreed to take his ticket and run it! Not only did he agree to - he actually did it!
Yes, he is thinking of renting crutches for the next week or so, but he finished!

This is what Trey looked like at the end:

Pretty good until you see him walk!

Ha!
I don't know if I will ever run a marathon after 2 knee reconstructions, but I needed almost as much physical and emotional endurance...
Brooklyn was so excited to go "Catch Daddy" and this morning when we were saying prayer over breakfast, she asked to bless Daddy to 'keep running'. So cute!

It was a beautiful day, so I just walked down to the end of the race with the kids in the stroller. When we got there, I tied Jude Bug on me and Brooklyn excitedly watched the runners come in. After about an hour Brooklyn started to get bored said "I need to go potty". I didn't take her seriously the first time, but after putting her off for 20 minutes or so I caved - navigating the crowd and finding the toilets took just the right amount of time to MISS TREY Coming in! I was so sad as I was so excited to see his face as he crossed the finish line! When I saw I missed his call, I just stood and cried as I scanned the crowd again and again for him! The worst was when we got the to the bathroom, Brooklyn said she didn't have to go!!! I made her.
Then, Jude exploded in his pants and i ended up just stripping him down to nothing and strapping him on me to walk home with him, just praying he wouldn't pee all over me.
Oh the motherhood moments that someday we will look back on and laugh at.

It was a long day for everyone!

Option for a Healthy Birth

I am not typically a big writer on my blog. I usually just post a few dozen photos of my adorable child and make little comments below. Well, I need some sort of outlet for all of my frustrations and thoughts and would love some feedback on them. As many of you know, I ended up getting a C-section with Brooklyn after planning on a completely natural birth with the help of Hypnosis. That is a whole nother story, and I wont' go into it, but I learned a lot about the what I want and need to have a healthy delivery. After extensive research into the process of birth, I know that it is possible for me to have a beautiful, natural birth and the things that that entails really aren't extreme and are in fact proven to be healthier choices for both me and my baby. (For our book group this month, we are reading "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper, which is one of several books I have read on the topic and one that I would highly recommend - as well as the documenary ...

Washington D.C.

So I am finally getting around to catching up on the blog! My excuse for not blogging for months is that life has been insane - don't we all have that excuse though? Here is a brief description of mine though. Blogs to come. October 10th, Trey left for DC and I had a few days to get everything together for 3 weeks away. I decided to bottle a dozen or so bottles of Grapejuice, throw a dinner party etc. But soon we were off. We spent 11 amazing days in DC with our INCREDIBLE friends the Boeys. They were so hospitable and fun! (Adding to the fun and craziness of it all, My Sister Brooke and her family just happened to be there at the same time, and my BYU roommate Sariah and BFF from Childhood Kelly both live there) (SEE BLOG) Straight from D.C., we went to Georgia for 5 days to visit Trey's Grandparents. It was amazing and I will blog soon about that! Spent Halloween there As soon as I got home, my dear companion from Taiwan was in town, so I met up with her and 2 of my oth...

He Arrived!

Baby Jude Harris Clark Finally arrived January 31st at 4;19am. 8lb 7oz, 22 inches long and perfect in every way! I will have more photos of the Handsome Man as well as my birth story soon. For now I am just going to do an overview of all the events that led up to the wonderful arrival. Since my actual due date was January 22nd, that is when Brooke, my older sister/best friend/hero, came to help. She brought her most adorable daughter Hannah with her and Brooklyn was basically in Heaven. A playmate and the most awesome aunt ever who constantly has another activity to do with her. They played out in the snow together, made cookies for the nurses when I was getting ready to go to the hospital, colored, painted, went on outings and I don't even know what else because I was sleeping a lot of the time they were together having fun. On top of it, she spoiled me rotten by cooking, cleaning and even shopping for us! My meal contribution was Chicago Deep Dish Pizza and Culver's Froz...
