Clark Posting: This is the only reason I really wanted kids.

I have wanted to take this picture for a long, long time . Here is Clark IV doing his prodigious standing-up-on-his-dad's-one-hand trick at only 11 weeks. I think that I have pretty much completed my part of raising this boy.

I Passed!!!

After two years+ of nursing school and a couple months of study and anticipation, I took my boards to become a registered nurse last Friday. And the results are in; I PASSED!!! I am so relieved and excited, I have met a huge goal. I'm officially an RN!

Two Months

Our precious guy turned 2 months old last week! He went to doctor and here are the stats:
Height: 24" 85th percentile
Weight: 12 lbs. 8 oz. 67th percentile
He's growing like a weed and doing so well!

Clarkie's First Haircut

Clarkie had lots of hair when he was born, but it's kind of gone bald on top, and the hair in the back stuck around. It was starting to form this rat-tail mullet thing, so daddy took the clippers to it. It looks much better now!
He wasn't real crazy about it...

Clarkie's Blessing

Since February 1st was Stake Conference in our ward, we decided to go to California to bless Clarkie in his Grandma and Grandpa Jones' ward. It ended up working out great, Clarkie's great-grandpa Blum got to participate, along with a lot of the men who taught Clark when he was growing up. Thanks to all of the wonderful Danville members who have always been so supportive and generous!
Three generations of Hal Clark Jones: The 2nd, 3rd, and now the 4th!
Clarkie admiring his great-grandma Blum for the first time. It was love at first sight!

Trip to California

Trying on some sweet baby shades. We went to CA over the Jan 31st-Feb 1st weekend to see my grandma and bless Clarkie. Blessing pictures to come...
Clarkie's very first ride in an airplane! I was all stressed out over bringing him on a plane when he's still so little, but there were only about 30 people on our flight going there and coming back. We had the whole back of the plane to ourselves.

Clarkie got to meet his Great-Grandma Ray for the first time. She was having some health trouble on our trip and we were a little worried, but this wonderful 90 year old lady has recovered and is doing much better. We think meeting her first great grandchild helped!
