We attended Idaho State University Summer Commencement on Friday, August 3rd. Cameron graduated with a Master of Physician Assistant Studies. We are so proud of him and his family for this great accomplishment. We also attended the ISU Physician Assistant Certificate Ceremony and Reception afterwards, where Cameron and 28 other graduates in the PA Program were honored and given their awards. I especially enjoyed the video presentation showing the graduates practicing on each other in their classes drawing blood, taking blood pressure and other fun activities. We all celebrated that evening at Butterburrs, my favorite family restaurant in Pocatello, with our family and Mary's family. 
We stayed at Jeremy and Sarah's apartment for the weekend and loved visiting and playing with Isaak. He is really growing and is such a happy-go-lucky guy. Collette, Sarah and I walked in the cool evenings by the old houses featured in the "historical district" near the campus. We were fascinated with the colonial styles and had a ball chatting about this and that. Chad and Jeremy (yea, that was one of my favorite 60's British Invasion rock groups) were involved in some pretty intense X-box competitions, too.
Dale and Chad sold our bbq sauce at the Idaho Falls Market on Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm. As you can tell from their shirts, they have a great time selling and interacting with customers! They had another record sales day... the habenero original sauce (hot) featured on the left tied with the new mexico green sauce (mild) on the right, with the chipoltle (medium) in the middle coming in a close second. 
It is "the bbq sauce your mom warned you about"!
Our sweet Malia Marcelene was blessed in Cameron and Mary's former ward Sunday afternoon. Cameron gave a beautiful blessing and Malia was so good. It is traditional in the families to take a picture on blessing day of all the guys who stood in the circle to help with the blessing. The Clark men are on the back row left to right...Jeremy, Chad, Dale, and Jefrey. Cameron is sitting holding Malea, with a friend on his left and Paul, Mary's dad, on the right. Lucky Malia to be surrounded by all those handsome gentlemen!
Malia's grandmothers and older sister, Bailee, were sure bustin' their buttons, too, as you can tell. I am so thrilled that Malia was named after my mother, Marcelene. I am sure that she was smiling down and that her heart was in this picture, too!
We traveled home Sunday evening and reflected all the way home on what a wonderful weekend it was and what a wonderful family we have. Stay tuned for the upcoming Grandma travels to Montana!

I love the shirts. If I remember right Chad wore that shirt before the mission when we very first sold sauce. And Dale's shirt has special meaning to me...road trip!
Oh what a wonderful posting. Congratulations to Cameron on his graduation and his beautiful daughter. It is so wonderful that you could be there. Jeremy's Isaak is so darling too! And those HOT men selling HOT sauce! wow!
Sounds like you had a great time! I love the shirts, they are a great conversation piece I bet!
I love all of the photos. Congrats to Cameron and his family on two very great events. Yes, I am sure that Mother was smiling down on the occasion. She would love our little "Marcelenes" and all other great grandchildren in our families.
