Red Rock Canyon Pics

This picture is the ground view. The top view is the 1st pic of the Update Post
The kids loved hiking, wandering, and climbing
It was a great day. It was slightly overcast but warm

We all had a great time

Updates!

This past weekend, we went to Red Rock Canyon, it was a really fun trip! We hiked around and enjoyed the mild weather!

Jackson was awarded "Star Student" for his class. Each month a student is given this award if they demonstrate and display the virtue the school is working on. Persistence was the value for March, and Jackson was awarded for being the most persistent!

This is outside of Jon's new office "Choctaw Dental" This was about a week before he opened his doors!
We celebrated my 29th Birthday. My sisters Marissa and Deidra came to celebrate with me!
Jon was painting all the art for his office. This huge piece is displayed in the waiting room when you walk in! Jon has 10 pieces of his art up in the new office!! It's been fun for him to get to work on so many new pieces, and it's fun to have walls to hang them!

Merry Christmas!! And a Happy New Year!

Christmas Morning! We were excited to see that Santa delivered to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Utah!!



Ivy's favorite part was the stocking...she had candy in her mouth and was unwrapping it more than her presents!
We had a great time with all of the cousins, aunts, and uncles. Mostly we had fun getting to be with Grandpa and Grandma! We loved getting to be with the family!

Our Rock Star singing her favorite songs: The itsy-bitsy spider, and twinkle twinkle little star!

The moment we've all been waiting for...

GRADUATION DAY!!
The event started with a bagpipe group playing while the professors and students marched in...it was odd, but really memorable....I still don't know why the bagpipe group was present

Jon was hooded by my dad, it was a neat moment. And yes the graduation robes look like 12th century explorers!

We were all so happy! And we were grateful for everyone who got to come! Mom and Dad Clarke got to stay with us a week, it was great having them!



This is Jon and best buds (Left Jason Dulgarian and Rt Topher Barnett)


The Coles family got to come for the event and stayed for Church the next day!



We were all proud of Dr. Clarke for working hard, accomplishing and finishing his education!! Hooray!! On to working life!

Jon passed Boards!! Horray!!

Jon just found out he passed WREB. The regional boards he took this past weekend!! He was so excited!! We are so grateful for everyone who was praying for him!
Jon is so grateful he doesn't have to retake the test....he said it was the worst, most stressful thing he has ever had to do! Jon normally handles stress very well, but this test pushed all of his coping methods! He even said going through labor with me was less stressful!! (His reasoning: because at least you are done, and you don't have to redo it all weeks later if you are not successful!) I just laughed! I can't imagine the stress he was under!

Easter!!

We took family pictures! Aren't they cute!! I'll post more later!


The kids finding Easter treats at Great Grandma's house!
Ivy loved finding the hidden treats, and love eating them even more!


We had a surprise at 6:45am Friday morning..."Mom, Owen has scissors in bed"
This was the damage!! Luckily family pictures were already done!! He got a short buzz later the next day!! FYI: He showed no remorse. We couldn't get him to smile for family photos, but he was happy to show off his new do!!



Jackson-filled up his basket with tons of candy!!
