July 2012 sounds like a GREAT month to me!

It is true, Baby Clark #2 is on its way! Nathaniel and I are SUPER excited, we had our first ultrasound today (10 weeks) and we saw his/her little arms and legs kicking and punching, it was an amazing moment! We also heard and saw his little heartbeat...I can't help it I've already fallen in love :) :) :) The midwife that I saw today was AWESOME! we got along great, I wish that I could see her each time (bad thing about the army, you generally see a different doctor at each appt., positive side to that is your bound to know the doctor that delivers your baby :)

WE CAN'T WAIT TO MEET AND HOLD OUR LITTLE BABY in July!!!

only a couple of holidays behind!

Camden and his friend Emily

The Group

Having fun frosting cookies after trick or treating.

We had so much fun this halloween. The Fun began the friday before when we went to our friends halloween party, it was AMAZING! The food was delcious, we had a donut eating contest, pin the tail (on some sort of animal, l.o.l), a pinata, and a awesome halloween story at the end. EVERYONE had to dress up and it was just a blast! The next day was our wards trunk or treating/chili cook off! The kids had fun parading around in the customes, us adults had fun talking and at the end of the night everyone had a blast trunk or treating! On Halloween we inviting my sister and her kids over and my friend Julie (how I call cricket from our oakcrest days) and her kids over and we enjoyed eating mummy dogs and fruit! The older kids had SO much fun trick or treating and getting candy and the younger kids (Camden and Emily) had fun but would much rather stop at each house and play with their friends, haha!

A splendid way to spend a sunny day

We are heading up to Mt Rainier...notice Camden holding my hand, he routinely DEMANDS to hold my hand as we drive in the car!
The beginning of our hike started by the most beautiful lake I have seen. It was SO calm he could see the reflection of the sky and moutains in it!

Camden and Grandpa The boys. Camden's favorite thing to do on the hike: throw rocks into the water...any water we came across for the matter...and Washington has quite a bit of water to say the least :) Grandpa is king of the mountain! This picture doesn't do the view justice, it was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! Camden's favorite place to stop on our hike....we sat for awhile on the trail throwing rocks down the mountain...Camden could of stayed there all day if we had let him! We made it - Spray Falls! Mommy and little man!

On saturday Dad, Nathaniel, Camden, and I packed our hiking bags, strapped on our hiking boots and set out for some hiking in Mount Rainier! I was just a little bit nervous about how Camden would do on the hike since we didn't have a backpack carrier for him...but I had no need to worry...Camden ran/walked/and thoroughly enjoyed our FOUR hour hike! The hike was beautiful.... I sometimes forget since living in Texas that some places are SO GREEN! We enjoyed a spectacular view of Mount Rainer and a HUGE waterfall! Besides about 20 minutes of being carried Camden walked most of the time...and insisted (quite loudly) that he would walk the last mile all by himself!

If we are ever stationed here at Fort Lewis we know that we will definently be taking advamtage of all of the hiking this state has to offer!

making bread

Nathaniel decided one day that he was going to make some delcious home-made bread and the next time I looked over at him, this is what I saw! I guess Camden really wanted to see what Nathaniel was doing but Nathaniel needed both hands so he decided the best place for him was on his shoulders! Camden has such a GREAT daddy!

We are still here...and having fun!

Miss Cayleigh! This is Camden's adorable friend and the cute little girl of mine and Nathaniel's friends, Barrett and Liz Campbell!
The Fountain in Olympia - it was Freezing that day but daddy and Grandpa thought it would be fun, l.o.l :)

And I have to admit Camden had the time of his life!

Camden enjoying the great outdoors :)

"dad dont feed me to the horse"!!!

We are still having a great time here in Washington! We love spending time with family and Nathaniel, Camden, and I are enjoying a much needed vacation together :) It is beautiful here in Washington, but it does rain A LOT...but even with all the rain we have had we have still found plenty to do and some days we still brave the rain and head outdoors for some fun!

One day Nathaniel, Dad, and Camden headed out to the local church camp ground to check on things and to figure out what needs to be done for the day of service for their ward coming up! Camden had a great time putting the horse, swinging in the swings, and of course jumping into all the mud puddles....he came home soaking wet and quite muddy!

We also have enjoyed game nights with friends, visiting the children's museum in Olympia and the water fountain there as well :)

Nathaniel also had quite the scare this week! He took Camden to the local play ground one morning and in the split second that Camden was out of arms reach he slipt off the bridge and fell about 5 feet straight onto his head! Nathaniel said it was one of the scariest moments of his life and ran over to Camden, who thankfully was moving...and crying and wanted to play some more! Nathaniel decided it was a wise idea to come home instead though and we are both so thankful that Camden is ok!
