Vacuuming the car...


It's a good thing we don't know many of our neighbors yet, because they would have thought we were crazy...well, they still probably did think we were crazy! A month or so ago we decided that we wanted to get an extension cord so that we could take the vacuum down to our cars so we wouldn't have to pay to get our car vacuumed. We bought an extension cord, but we haven't found the time to clean our cars yet. On Saturday night we finally found time. But, the detail that is important here is that we woke up to snow on Saturday morning. But Clark was very determined to do it Saturday night, snow or no snow! So, we took the extension cord and plugged it in on our deck. Then we threw it down one story. Clark hauled the vacuum down the stairs and plugged it in. We didn't want our vacuum to get ruined becuase it was wet, so I held the vacuum off the ground while Clark got on his hands and knees and vacuumed. Take into account, that it was 8 o'clock at night and thus dark and cold and wet. Our hands were freezing, but we got the job done! This is a picture of our parking spot from our patio, our spot is the one with the little civic on the end...for a better idea, imagine it is dark and snowing, and there is an extension cord!! If anyone wants to try it, you are more than welcome to use our parking spot and vacuum and give it a whirl!

Happy Birthday Clark!!!



It was Clark's Birthday on October 7. He turned 25. We went down to Utah for General Conference with my family and my little sisters had made a million presents for Clark. Lauren even gave up her Hannah Montana gift bag that sings her song when you squeeze it. My little sister Aubrey also is obsessed with digital cameras. She could take a million pictures and not get tired of it. So she was the photographer of the first picturs! We had Clark's parents and Don and Angie and kids over for Cake and Ice cream. It was quite the party! I also got off pretty easy because I got him basketball shoes, and I wasn't even going to try to pick them out on my own, so we had a family night at the mall and he got his present...first birthday down, many to go!
