Colorado

On March 9th Bailey took her first Airplane ride.... an 8:20pm flight to Denver Colorado.  She was an Angel child.  She fell asleep in Dad's arms before boarding the plane so take off was a breeze... we actually woke her up after we leveled off so we could feed her at her normal time. 

After she had her bottle we played for 20 minutes or so and then it was time to descend.  We were in the front row and when the flight attendant came up an strapped in Bailey coo-ed so she looked at us.  She then made the comment "there was a baby on this flight"  she hadn't heard a peep from her before that point and was so impressed with her. She's a good baby 

We had a great weekend and had a lot of fun visiting with family and friends.   We are always very busy when we go to Colorado-  here is this trips itinerary 

• - Friday Night: Adult Dinner at the Melting Pot (YUMMY) 
• -Saturday Morning: Mom scheduled professional pictures of all 4 grand kids - that was an adventure of it's own 
• -Saturday Afternoon:  Lunch with Shelley and Zeb Tiedeman and their baby Harmony and then Shopping with Shelley at the Mall 
• - Saturday Night:  Colorado Mammoth Game 
• - Sunday Morning: Harmony's Baptism 
• - Sunday Afternoon:  Visiting Pam  & Josh 
• - Sunday Night: Visiting Great Grandma & Grandpa Hartmann 
• - Monday Morning: Packing and Flight back to Utah

The purpose of our trip was to support my Best Friend from High School Shelley and her Husband Zeb as they baptized their little Harmony on that Sunday.  Harmony and Bailey are only 2 weeks apart (Bailey 9/22 and Harmony 10/4).  Neither Shelly or I had seen each other or our babies since they were born.  It was a wonderful reunion and we are so glad we could be a part of this special event.  Thank you so much for allowing us to participate - we love you guys! 

I also have to say a quick thank you to my Aunt Jackie, Uncle Dan and Kelli who watched the Kiddo's while the adults went to dinner on Friday Night.  Apparently Bailey was not on her best behavior so they got to experience the Diva.

We love spending time with my parents and Matt & Jen - and always look forward to our next trip over the mountains.

Readers Digest Update

So since I'm so behind- and there is so much to tell I'll give you the Readers Digest version of the Clark Family Tale and throw in a few pictures.

In February the opportunity for me (Stevie) came up to go back to work at SnugZ USA as a Sales Executive which is an honor and a position I have been dreaming of since i started at the company back in 2008. A little earlier in January Nate had began pondering on going back to school.  So when the opportunity for Stevie to go back to work full time came around- we decided it was a sign and made a switcheroo.  Stevie went back to work full time and Nate dropped the Rehab part of his job and is now Mr. Mom and gets to stay home with Miss Bailey on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.  I am really enjoying my new responsibilities and Nate is LOVING being home and spending time with Bailey.  It was a much smoother transition than we had anticipated, and is working well for us.

Also in February it was Valentines Day (or Valen-hearts day as Nate calls it).   We bought tickets to the Lady Antebellum concert back in November for their Valentines Day show.  So Nate and I got to go on a very lovely date for Valentines Day.   We had Crown Burger for Dinner and then headed to the show.  I was feeling sick, but toughed it out for the show.   Thompson Square and Darius Rucker (Hootie from Hootie and the Blowfish) were the opening acts and we REALLY liked Darius.  Lady A then came out to play and it was Amazing.  But since i was feeling so sick we left before the encore.  I like to believe on this one show that they did not have one so that I didn't miss anything.   It was a wonderful night and my husband gets major brownie points for it. 
(P.S- it turned out i had Hand Foot & Mouth which Bailey had earlier that month - it manifests itself much like strep and adults rarely get it- but lucky me I caught it :) )

We also took a trip to CO in March- but that was an exciting event on it's own that it deserves its own post... so that is to follow.

The Last Few Months

So I'm only a little behind.  Bailey is now 6 Months old and I haven't even posted her 4 or 5 Month pictures online.   In the spirit of documentation I will post them... I'll take her matching 6 month pictures today- so in 2-3 months you can see those :)   Our little girl is getting so big-and so fun.  We love her so much
