Playdates with Natalie

It's rare when we get a chance to have play time with Natalie.... something always seems to come up. So, when the kids get together, it's always special. We call Bodi and Natalie "Two Peas in a Pod" since they kind of bring out the worst in each other. Emma is usually the one that plays nice while "The Peas" are climbing on things and causing all kinds of raucous.

In a rare and quiet moment, Natalie and Bodi play beauty shop. Bodi sat quietly as Natalie cut and styled his hair.

Nana, Peepaw, and Friends Visit

Nana, Peepaw, Uncle Jeff, Aunt Sharon, Uncle Ivy, and Aunt Sherry came for a visit this weekend. We had a great time and just "chilled" out. We had to take the opportunity to whip out the Wii (yes, we broke down and bought one) and got to see Peepaw show off his tennis moves. Bodi also joined the fun with his own "special" controller. The kids also enjoyed spending one-on-one time with Nanaw and Peepaw, playing teacher and reading books.

Saying goodbye is always hard..... the Clarks left Monday morning, after we left for work and dropped off the kids at school. Nana, Peepaw, Uncle Jeff, and Aunt Sharon left us a great goodbye picture on our camera. It was a nice surprise when we found it after they left.

Bath Time Fun!!!

Bath time is always fun for the kids, Bodi took his first shower with Daddy tonight and enjoyed every minute of it.

Time Out

The kids were crazy tonight! They both spent some time in time out but I think Bodi enjoyed it a little more than Sissy.

Goofing Around

After a long day at work, it's nice coming home to the kids and just goof around.

Emma Makes a Big Donation

A few weeks ago, I decided my hair was too long for the hot weather and had 11 inches cut and donated it. Emma decided she wanted to do the same, of course, we didn't think she was serious. She continued on and on for a few weeks. I then heard about an event, Pantene Beautiful Lengths. I signed her up and spent the next few weeks explaining how it would take her a long time to grow her hair back and that she would not be able to put her hair in pig-tails or even a pony tail. Bryan really tried to talk her out of it, but she insisted on helping those in need. After weeks of discussion, we decided she was ready. The big day came July 2, 2008.

Prepping for the cut.

There were celebrities there to cut the volunteers' hair. Emma's hair was cut by the commissioner of the LPGA, Carolyn Bivens. She also got to meet LPGA star, Natalie Gulbis.

Emma had 8 inches cut, afterward, all the volunteers showed off

their new do's in a fashion show.

Of course, Daddy, Bodi, Di Amy, and Natalie came out to support Emma, we are so proud of our little girl!! She truly has a huge heart. She and I plan to donate again once we grow 8 more inches. Maybe Di Amy and Natalie can join us next year :)
