Last month all 9 of my siblings got together for pictures.
It was quite an ordeal having us all together with our varying schedules,
busy work and family life,
it certainly was harder than we imagined to coordinate.
Our intentions were to surprise mom
with a photo of all her children for Mothers Day,
but like mentioned above, schedules were hard to coordinate,
so it was a few weeks late.

Enjoy some Clark Family Stats:
-Between all of us, we have 44 1/2 children, and 1 great-grand cub on the way.
-We all live in Utah.
-We are all happily married.
Chile, Finland, Spain, Canada, Puerto Rico, and England.
-Right now, 4 of my siblings have dogs and no one has cats.
Steve, Topher, Andrew, and Courtney have blue eyes, Matt, Page,
and Lucy has brown eyes while Jesse and I have green eyes.
-7 of us have graduated from college.
-1 of us has a Ph.D. (Topher).
-I am the tallest of the girls and Andrew is the tallest of the boys.
We come from good pioneer stock and are blessed beyond comprehension.
Of course, we have our ups and downs, hardships, and trials but we love
each other and have married wonderful spouses who are equally wonderful.
I believe and know that nothing is as important in my family
(the one I was born into and the one I am raising),
as honoring marriage and family.
Family relationships can be tricky, frustrating, and hard but they are so important.
I am learning each day that I have a lot to learn and relationships take effort.
These people are my blood, they are my eternal brothers and sisters and friends.
We don't all agree on everything but have genuine love and
desire for each other to succeed and progress.
Special thanks to Justin Hackworth for the amazing photos!
Speaking of families...have you hugged yours today?
