Congratulations Clay



Clay earned the title of United States Marine on September 11, 2009.

We are very proud of Clay and very very very happy to have all of our children and grandchildren in one place. Josh flew into Maryland on Sept 10th - then he flew to NC with mom and Joe; we met everyone else at Jayson and Jaqui's house later that night and we've been having a blast ever since.


Clay and baby Taylor ... she slept through the graduation, but woke up to give Uncle Clay a big congratulation smile!



Clay with family J3 - thank you for hosting all of us. There is always a welcome mat on the front porch of this family and we love visiting with them. We also love eating Jayson's cooking. Today we ate "Amazings" (Clay asked for them) which are toasted bagels with cream cheese, soft fried eggs, turkey, cream cheese and ooey gooey melty american cheese.

Congrats Clay!! It looks the Marines pounded a few pounds out of you the past couple of months. I look forward to seeing you before you go away to keep us all safe, where are they sending you next for what training?

Way to go Clay! How cool is that you became a Marine on 9-11. Keep us posted and stay safe.

Hey Clay you look real ggod ... glad you made it through and I'll bet you're not excited to do it again. In one of the pictures you look taller than Jayson: are you? Love you man,
