Jackson is TWO!!

3/12/11
Can't believe my baby boy is 2. He is growing up so fast, and he is at such a fun stage! Very curious, loves animals, loves looking at the birds and bunny in our yard, loves throwing rocks, loves watching movies, etc. He calls hummingbirds "mama bird" because we had one that had a nest in our yard, so now all hummingbirds are "mama bird" and he can spot them all over! It's crazy! He loves going to the park, swinging, going down the slide, chasing the birds or just running in general. He starts at one point and says "on your mark, get set, go!" Or "ready, set, go!" then runs to wherever his end point is. He loves to "race" whether it's his cars, toy animals, or his dad and mom. I'm sure people get a kick out of a very pregnant woman playing chase with her 2 year old at the park! He learns so much each day, and his vocabulary is growing like crazy! I love to hear him say "yes" when I ask him a question. I also love to hear him say "hippopotamus", it is so cute! He is learning to count to 10 and does a great job! We are also working on his shapes, alphabet, and learning to say his name. When asked how old he is, he throws his hand up at you and says "two". We are working on just the 2 fingers up. He seems to be excited about his "baby sis" that he comes and loves and jumps on daily. We love our little man so much! Here are a few pictures of his special day!

We are set for Disneyland now that he has a mickey mouse hat with his name on it!

Treats and swinging


We had a combined birthday party at the park. Grant (the boy on his right) and Jackson are only 1 day apart.

It was a beautiful, hot day at the park. Also a bit windy but overall the party was fun.


Jackson eating a cupcake for breakfast! You're only 2 once!

He mostly liked the frosting!

Happy 2nd Birthday Jackson! Mom and Dad love you!!

The Phoenix Zoo

3/8/11
We took Jackson to the Phoenix Zoo for his 2nd birthday. We were in Phoenix to get Josh's cast off from his surgery in January and thought we'd have a day at the zoo. Jackson loved it and we had a great time seeing his excitement over seeing the animals. He was very excited about all the birds at the zoo...silly boy.


Viewing the kangaroo's.

We was a bit nervous in the petting zoo but had a lot of fun petting the goats!


Apparently the goats really enjoy eating the zoo maps. This older lady was fighting the goat for her map, it was pretty hilarious actually! The goat won.

If you look closely there is a monkey in the tree behind Jackson. We got to go into their habitat and be right with them. Jackson loved it, but I couldn't get a good picture!

Love these 2!
Jackson did awesome at the zoo, the best little boy ever!

Seeing the giraffe's and other African animals when we first got to the zoo.

Colorado for Grandpa's 96th Birthday

3/25-3/28 We went to Colorado for a quick weekend trip to celebrate Lindsey's great-grandpa's 96th birthday! We had a great time playing and catching up with relatives, being in the snow, and seeing lots of wildlife!

I didn't get the memo that day to wear red, dang! :)

Much Needed Update

I have been bad at updating our little blog lately. It's always one thing or another. I hope to start documenting better. Beware, this is a long post!

We had a great Thanksgiving with my family and Christmas with Josh's family. It was so fun to have everyone at our home, and even more fun to watch Jackson interact with his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. He LOVED having so many people to play with each day.

Jackson helping Josh take the turkey fryer out.

We enjoyed both a fried turkey and a baked turkey this year! Yum!!

My parents brought their dog and Jackson had a blast playing with her!


Family Pictures...
My family attempted some pictures. Some turned out. It's hard with the sun in a bad spot and a toddler, but oh well! :)


November 2010
We went to Las Vegas one weekend in November for my cousin Andrew's baptism. I didn't take many pictures (classic Lindsey) but we did capture my aunt and her youngest with a face full of avacado!

Sarah and Dylan Marshall (my aunt and cousin)

Jackson joined in but decided he didn't like avacados as much as Dylan!


Polar Express, December 2010
We went to Williams, AZ on the 22nd of December to ride to the North Pole on the Polar Express! It was a bit of a drive and rained the whole time but we still had fun. We were struggling with the camera settings while on the train, so no pics with Santa. We spent the night and woke up to 6 inches of beautiful snow! I took a few pics with my phone of the snow but none with the camera. Jackson loved making snow balls and stomping in the slush!

Jackson was bouncing off the wall the whole time on the train!

Looking a bit wet as we ride to the North Pole!

Random Pictures 2010

??? Not sure what was going on in this pic

A couple weeks ago we went hiking in the desert by our home. Thought this was a great picture of the 2 Clark men.

Cute little man who loves sitting on the stools at the bar these days

I came home from work for lunch one day and Jackson looked like this....he and Daddy had way too much fun with the hair wax!


Christmas Morning 2010
Josh and I both swear that we took more pictures than the few we actually have. We're wondering if the other camera didn't work (remember we were really struggling with it on the Polar Express). We were able to at least capture the joy Jackson had with his new "hoop" from Santa Claus. He loves his "hoop" and still wants to play with it daily. We did get some good video but I don't know if it will make the blog!



Swimming at the Aquatic Center, December 2010
One of the days we took all the kids swimming at the local Aquatics Center. It was even more fun than I thought it would be! I didn't take many pics since we were all swimming but I got a few of Jackson on the slides. They also have a big slide for older kids/adults.

This one was Jackson's favorite

He liked this one too but went faster on the other one (I think because it had more water)

Crawling through the shallow water like alligators!

21 Weeks....
The day these pictures were taken I was 21 weeks and we had just found out that the little wiggle bug in my belly is a baby GIRL!! We are so excited! I am now 24 weeks along and still doing and feeling well. We are so blessed and excited for everything 2011 has to offer!

Happy 2011 Everyone!!
