Belize

We all went to the ruins in Belize called Lamanai. It took us nearly an hour by bus and then 50 minutes by SPEEDBOAT to get there, but it was worth it! For those who climbed to the top it was a spectacular view. I've included a picture of Lazarus, our Belizian LDS High Priest friend. Also, our guide, Wayne, joined us in our family picture. They fed us Belizian Beans, Rice, and Chicken, which was delicious.

Cozumel

Seventeen of us dove together at Cozumel. The water was perfect. The company was the best.

A quick trip to Key Largo after the Cruise

Matt, the Dentist!

I spent the day yesterday in Matt's dental chair. He is going to be an excellent dentist! He has a great touch and terrific chairside manner. His good friend, Bart, assisted in my care, and he was very nice as well. We had a fun (?) day. Well, it could be more fun if I didn't have such rotten teeth. After a day with the dentist, I got to enjoy some time with his family. Katie fixed an absolutely delicious dinner for us to enjoy, and Averi was entertaining with her clapping, walking/running, and laughing! Thanks guys.

I finally have all of the family pictures loaded on my computer to share. So....

Family Pictures

We had family pictures taken over the holidays..... outside! And it was freezing but so much fun! Hence the red noses! Thanks to Katie for lining everything up! I only have a few of the pictures back; I can't wait to get some more to share. I do love this family!

Sean's Eagle Court of Honor

Sean finished his Eagle Project in June of 2008. We have waited for 18 months so that all of the Clark 'eagles' could be home for the event! So when Tanner got home from his mission we realized that the best time to do this Eagle Court of Honor would be at Christmastime when everyone was at home together. It was great to have all five of our Eagles stand up together: Lyle, Nic, Matt, Tanner, & Sean.

It was even more of a bonus to have Grandpa & Grandma Schenk and Grandpa & Grandma Clark come! Thanks to them for making the trip!

Sean celebrated receiving his Eagle Award with Alex Williams. It was a nice night. We had dinner at the church first, and then the Court of Honor, followed by refreshments. (You know, you have to have good food to make such a celebration really good!) Andy Fuhriman, Dave Wilson, Kurt Southam, and Craig Bell participated on the program and all stated how much respect they have for these two young men and how much they have enjoyed working with them. When they called the 'Eagles Nest' to gather, there were 17 of them present. It was very impressive. We do appreciate all who attended and all who have helped Sean with his scouting.
