Easter Weekend

As I mentioned before, Jayson and I both had the Friday before Easter off and so we decided to check out Kansas City. We made no plans, just got in the car around 10 am and started driving. We brought clothes so if we decided to stay the night we could, but we hadn't made any reservations. It was actually really fun to be in the car together for a few hours to talk and catch up. It is crazy how busy we (mostly Jayson) have been and so it was nice to finally have a minute together. Once we got to Kansas City we drove around down town and were trying to find things that looked interesting. We stopped at a gas station and the guy working there told us that today was the home opener for the Kansas City Royals and they were playing the Yankees. He told us there was no way we could get tickets because people had been tailgating at the stadium since 6 am. We drove to the stadium anyway and it is a really cool site, the Royals and the Chiefs both have stadiums within 100 yards of each other and they share a parking lot. It was pretty cool to see two huge stadiums right next to each other.
After waiting a few hours we were able to scalp tickets and be in our seats for the opening pitch. The stadium had huge renovations from last season and it is super nice. We had a lot of fun at the game and after our Royals lost we decided it was a successful trip and that we could just head home.

I know I have lived somewhat of a sheltered life... I couldn't believe this! All of this beer/alcohol is from before the game and this wasn't the only trash can that was overflowing... Why pay so much for tickets if you are wasted before you enter the stadium?

Easter sunday was stake conference and it was a regional meeting with Elder Hales, Sister Lifreth and President Monson. It was a great meeting and even though it was cold I wore a new maternity Easter dress that my mom got for my birthday! I felt like a little girl, excited to be wearing a new dress.


Jayson making a few calls for church. I just thought it was so cute to see him all dressed up, with a diet coke and on the phone.

First Things First...

Last week was my spring break and luckily Jayson had that Friday off of school as well. We took a great quick trip to Kansas City and also had a great Easter. Blah, Blah I will post about that later.

The important news is .......





Baby Clark is a baby GIRL!!! We are so excited for our precious baby and thrilled to know that she is healthy and strong and weighing in at 15 oz. It was so amazing to see all of her little features and know that she is ours! We are so thankful for her already and the joy she has brought to our little home.

We are also excited for her to have a darling cousin so close in age (my sister Jen had her baby girl Seurell last night!)

I will post ultrasound and niece pictures soon...
