Ian's first goal!!
Ian is playing U4 Soccer with the Lexington Soccer Club. Our team, the Grasshoppers, coached by Coach Todd played their first game this past Sunday and Ian scored his first goal. He was so excited and did so well. Sunday afternoons for the next two months are going to be so much fun.

We finished another race!!
Luke and I along with our friends Gerrick and Dana Taylor ran the races at Hilton Head in February. Dana and I ran the 10 K race, my first one, and Luke and Gerrick completed the Half Marathon. Their time was 1:57 and mine was 1:06. Really proud of all of us.

You know I like my Waffle Fries
As we've started 2012, the Clamps are doing well. It is amazing to me how much the boys have changed. So many days I look at them and think how big they've gotten and then on other days I realize how little they are. Little Alex follows Ian around and wants to do everything he does. They love to play "hutball" (football) in the house and race around the house with Daddy. They both love the new John Deere gator they got for Christmas. Honestly, they make me laugh and smile (almost) all day long...of course, except for the temper tantrums, whining, drama, etc. But I seem to forget about all of that by the end of the day.
Luke and I have turned into "runners." Luke ran a half marathon in December and he is running another one in Hilton Head in a few weeks. I am attempting my first 10K at the Hilton Head race. Only through my stubbornness am I doing this. I used to say the only time that I run is when someone is chasing me, so this will be a BIG accomplishment for me.
One of the songs that I have on my new ipod that Luke gave me for Christmas is "Chicken Fried" by Zac Brown band. I am sure that you all know it.
Anyway, it got me to thinking about if I wrote a song like that what I would write... (Yes, I know I am a dork:)
You know I like my Chick-Fil-A waffle fries (with the cool new ketchup packs)
A sweet tea on any night (or day)
A pair of
(non Mom) jeans that fit just right
And the radio up(dancing with the kids in the back seat)
Well, I was raised
up
Beneath the shade of a Georgia pine (playing OUTSIDE because we didn't have a nintendo:)
And that's home you know
Sweet
tea, pecan pie and homemade wine
Where the peaches grow
And my house
is a blessing for us
And it's filled with love
That's grown and
southern ground
You know I like my Chick-Fil-A waffle fries (with the cool new ketchup packs)
A sweet tea on any night (or day)
A pair of (non Mom) jeans that fit just right
And the radio up(dancing with the kids in the back seat)
Well, I've seen the sunrise (especially the ones at Edisto Beach)
See the love in my husband's eyes (for almost 9 years...can't believe it)
Feel
the touch of 2 precious boys
And know a mother's love (unexplainable, unconditional love from a wonderful mom and as a mother)
It's funny how
it's the little things in life
That mean the most
Not where you live or
what you drive (Still babying these 2001 vehicles)
Or the price tag on your clothes (Y'all do know I am not afraid to shop for clothes at Wal-mart)
There's no dollar sign on
a piece of mind
This I've come to know
So if you agree, have some tea
with me
Raise your cups for a toast
You know I like my Chick-Fil-A waffle fries (with the cool new ketchup packs)
A sweet tea on any night (or day)
A pair of (non Mom) jeans that fit just right
And the radio up(dancing with the kids in the back seat)

I thank God for my life
And for the
stars and stripes
May freedom forever fly
Let it ring
Salute the
ones who died
The ones that give their lives
So we don't have to
sacrifice
All the things we love
You know I like my Chick-Fil-A waffle fries (with the cool new ketchup packs)
