Toro Tuff!

In July, Clark and all the other football players,
were required to attend "Toro Camp" in Williams
 for an intensive week of training and conditioning.
(Clark is in the center in blue)

There was a lot of running...
"Toro Hill"  is notorious for its steep, steady
and unrelentless climb.

Practices were held all day and well into the evening
with only a few breaks for meals.


Clark getting to know the new Varsity Head Coach

Misery loves company!
Good thing there were a lot of friends at Camp, too!
Chase and Clark

Getting some extra help for his back from the trainer

 
All that hard work and practice finally paid off.
Game Day--September 1st
Heat advisories had been in effect all week.
Game time temp was brutal...
and that is without pads and helmet!


#31 again
same as last year for football and basketball

Being congratulated for making the first
 Toro touch down of the season!
(MV beat Desert Ridge 28 to 20)

Cassidy does a great job of multi-tasking...
Spanish homework as she watches the game.

After the game celebration with friends

Thanks to all those who braved the heat
to come cheer on Clark and the Toros!
(Thanks also to David, Robin & Tia who came but weren't in the picture)
Go Toros!

Love, Love, Love!

We LOVE these two,
We LOVED this day,
and
We LOVE all those who supported
 Brett and Tia on their perfect day!


































Coming out of the temple...
it was a bit warm and the sun was bright,
plus we have to have a picture of Tia with her eyes closed...
it's tradition!


The whole gang!




 

Tia and Cecily have grown up together,
been in the same ward,
and were married within a day of each other.
So fun to see them together
 in their wedding dresses at the temple!



Mr. & Mrs. Allred




 I love this picture!
It just makes me smile.





I'm such a lucky girl to have this guy!


 The wonderful grandparents

 The Allred Family
What an impressive group...
8 children + spouses
and 24 grandchildren
Brett's Parents...Calvin & Susan


Brett with his siblings


 Tia loved inheriting 24 nieces and nephews!


 Grandpa & Grandma Clark with the grandkids




































The beautiful and tasty candy station!
It is hard to see in this picture,
but the framed photograph of
Brett & Tia licking a giant sucker
is sooo cute!



The beverage station...




The food table was amazing!
Not only was the food delicious, but it looked so beautiful!


The floral arrangements were stunning!



The crepe station was Brett's request...
sadly he didn't even get one,
but everyone said they were delish!




This picture is priceless!


So glad cousin Abbey caught the boquet!


The sparkler send off!

It could not have been a more perfect evening!
Thanks to all those who celebrated with us!

Happy Birthday, Clark

I don't know where the time has gone...

We went from this chunky 8lb 6oz
long awaited beautiful baby boy...

to a total Daddy's boy....

to a toddler that had to learn the pecking order
in a house full of girls...
to a wonderful big brother...

to a future missionary...

to a fun loving kid....

to a reluctant cowboy...

to an incredible athlete...

to a teenager with a quick wit and a great sense of humor...

to a growing boy that can and will sleep anywhere...
 to a worthy priesthood holder...

to an awesome son...
Who is now 16 YEARS OLD!!!

I'm just a LITTLE weepy as I think about
HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS GUY!

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLARK!
