"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

23 months

This is the last monthly bubba post I will do...   :( 

Last month we celebrated Brooksy's 2 years!  Bounce house action!

With Uncle Josh (he's really into "josh" lately) 

This is the best pic I could get of the two of them.  Always moving!
It was the cutest tractor party ever!  Clark took a spin with daddy on the real tractor.  He did not love it though.  REALLY wanted Mommy.  Fine with me! :)

Not loving hats these days...

Farmer Svoboda
He has really gotten into these cars lately.  And he loves to drive one-handed.  :)  This picture cracks me up because judging from Sean's stride in the background, he was heading full speed into something...

I have found Clark here lately---behind the sofa in AM's chair "reading" a book.  Pretty darn cute.

Helping Daddy blow out his candles

He was a clown on Mother's Day.  :)

kind of scary

with buddy Drew
I know---the nose.  He fell out of his little car on the patio and scraped his nose pretty badly.  Major scab. :(  Luckily, it was not that deep and didn't leave a scar.  Hallelujah!
One morning he insisted on putting on his boots, belt, and jacket all at once.  Nice.

Gah!  He looks so ollllllld in this one.  :( And by the way this kid LOVES water.

Getting a squeeze from sis on Memorial Day.

Isn't this adorable?  --With some of our sweetest friends, Jack and Elizabeth.  A HUGE THANK YOU to their sweet parents (Kristiana and Eric) that kept my kiddos so Sean and I could have a date. 
True blue friends are some of the biggest blessings in life!
Posing in front of our garden!

Is there anything cuter than a little boy's first pair of flip flops???????????????  no!!!!!!
Super Clark!  is coming out these days!
He got to help Pepaw install a new fan for us.  "fix it" is one of his new favorite phrases.  :)
3 1/2 weeks until he turns two!  wow!

Meant to come back to this sooner than I have - yikes!

Flipflops for the first time - I still remember that! And chubby toes sticking in between the thong - preciousness!

Love this Clarky-boy - hope to see him this weekend while in Waco!
