Clark Family - 2011

2011 has been a pretty good year for us, while we don’t have any big news I’m glad to say we did achieve our goal of getting grass in the back yard. So here is what has been going on in 2011.

Lindsey turned 4 this year. She is in preschool and dance and this year she was finally old enough to for tennis and soccer. She is a busy girl, she loves to talk, constantly, and never holds still. Just 2 ½ weeks before Christmas she lost her first tooth, one week before Christmas she lost her second. She was very excited for the tooth fairy to visit her. Lindsey is looking forward to 2012 and Kindergarten.

Jael turned 8 this year. Her biggest event this year was her baptism. She was baptized on her birthday which made that birthday even better. Her other big event this year was getting her tonsils out. Jael is in 2^nd grade this year. She loves school, especially reading. She also enjoys soccer, swimming, tumbling, tennis and playing the piano.

Ryan has had a pretty busy year, in August he had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands, he is pretty well healed now and is happy with the results. His other big news is he got a new calling; he is now serving as Elders Quorum President. He is still busy at work but finds time to do a little fishing.

Lori – I also got a new calling this year. I was released from the Young Women’s program and now I get to teach Relief Society. I’ve only taught twice so far, but I’m really enjoying the calling. Before I was released I was able to complete and receive my Young Womanhood award. My other news is I was asked to be the PTA Treasurer for Jael’s elementary school; it has been a lot of fun, and a learning experience for me. I also tried out running in 2011, completing 4 5k races, but I’m not sure I enjoyed it enough to keep that one up.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year From:

Ryan, Lori, Jael and Lindsey Clark
