Kim's Birthday!

IT'S LUCK-A-LOU'S BIRTHDAY!!!
What a beautiful child! Kim you have brought so much happiness to our family. Your cheeks are so kissable. You are shinning in your homemade blouse and jumper and hair cut. I thought you were so beautiful, and you still are. I loved doing anything for you, and I still do. We went to Thanksgiving Point to celebrate the big day. We were lucky to have little Jayne.

A lady stopped Kim and asked her about how cute she had Jayne dressed. She wanted to know where she could buy such an adorable outfit. Kim you have always had the gift for dressing you kids so stylish. I loved picking up the kids from school with you and seeing them in their back packs with their friends. They are confident happy children because they know their mother will always be there to get them and love them.

I think Jayne looks like you Kim.

Two angels, happy to be best friends forever!

Happy Birthday Kim! You are wonderful, delightful, a true gift from heaven!

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breath and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the end of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's

Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;

I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seem to lose

With my lost saints,--I love thee with breath,

Smiles, tear, of all my life!--and it God chose,

I shall but love thee better after death.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I have a camera!!! This is a beautiful painting in the lodge we stayed in Steamboat. The fall leaves were beautiful, the food delish, and your Dad the best. Did I say I love him?

September 12

It is September and I am holding on to each beautiful day. I have been pressing flowers to pull out in February, for place mats or to put in frames or book marks. . . who knows? But they brighten my soul. The cosmos are the best right now, purple and whispie.We have been to Salt Lake for the past three days to horse shows for Dad. I have decided that I have to love what he loves, because I do so love him. We stayed last night till midnight. I loved to listen as he talked about what he liked about each horse. I wish I had my camera to share the light in his eyes. I think he is trying to figure out how to get Palomino babies. We have separated the babies from the moms. So the babies are crying and the poor mom's moaning.I went on a 4 wheeler ride with the Laurels and Priests to the highest point around. We could see down Hobble Creek, Clear to Strawberry, Deer Creek and Park City all from one point. It was amazing!

We went to the Katy and Tyler's Primary Sacrament meeting today. Bret gave a the opening prayer and Nicole the closing. Tyler gave two long hard parts and did so good. Katy had hers memorized perfect. They sang wonderful and Grandpa and I cried. We are so proud of the Clark Family. It was nostalgic to sit in our old church benches and remember us as a young family. We were lucky to live among such good people. I remember last year when Dax sang out so loud and clear from the pulpit. He threw his arms around grandpa's legs and broke out in song in the hall, it was great. Jason usually conducts his Primary Program, we can't wait to go see it. Their Primary always sings so loud and knows every word. Kelly are you going to be in Florida for your Program? Dad and I are so proud of all of you and what great members of your wards you are!!!!! Nothing in the world could make us happier! Count your many blessings name them one by one.. . . we have many!
