Clark's 6th Birthday Party


We celebrated Clark's 6th birthday party yesterday at McDonald's, and he ate a big plate of pancakes while we were there!  McDonald's is one of the few fast food restaurants he'll eat ate, thanks to their all day breakfast menu.  I've said it many times, but the last few years we've ditched expensive parties for the boys, and it's been the best thing ever!  When we have their parties at McDonald's, the only thing I buy (besides the food we eat) is paper plates, napkins, forks, and candles for the cake.  My mother-in-law always makes their cakes, so it couldn't be easier!  We don't have to reserve the PlayPlace or anything... we get there a little early and save some tables, and then the kids play like crazy!  Easy birthday parties are so stress free!  Clark had a wonderful time, too!  He got tons of dress up clothes, so he's been a farmer/cowboy/pirate since yesterday!  😂

Happy 6th Birthday, Clark!


This sweet boy is 6 years old today!  It really seems like it was yesterday when I was massive, hot, and headed to the hospital for his c-section!  He was my easiest birth, but he's kept us on our toes since then!  😂  Everything about this child is larger than life (besides his size)!  His emotions, high or low, and felt very deeply, so I have a feeling he'll have moments of pure joy and then a few crashes today!  He's got the entire day planned out, so he's keeping us busy!  I won't do a whole update since I did one a few weeks ago, but we're so thankful for him!  God blessed us immensely on July 27, 2012!  Here are his pictures and birthday interview from this morning!  

Happy birthday, Clark!  We love you!
