My dad is quite an amazing person! He is always so willing to help others and does an amazing job when he does. He gets up every morning and runs 3 miles on the treadmill. He loves his family tremendously and loves to tell not-so-funny jokes that we are supposed to laugh at. My dad works hard and has often puts up with crappy bosses (and job assignments) at work so he can make sure he is providing for his family. He is very good about not talking about others behind their back and keeping confidences. I love my Dad!!

She had a hard time regulating her body temperature.

My mom is one of my best friends. I call her when I'm happy, bored, sad, lonely, needing help, the list could go on. She is always there for me and will drop anything to help one of her kids when they are in need. She has helped me through more than I can express. She has been there for the birth of each of my children, even actually in the room when I delivered Chloe. She was there for every surgery that Karleigh had. She loves the scriptures and faithfully reads them everyday. My mom is beautiful inside and out and I am SO grateful that I get to be her daughter. I love my Mom!!

Joy, my youngest and super beautiful sister! She is fabulous! She is the sweetest of all of us Clay girls and loves all her neices and nephews. Of course, they all love her the best and she always gets to be Favorite-of-all-favorites! Joy was just 4 years old when I got married. She was my little buddy all the time before I went away to college. I remember missing her SO much when I went away to college and then even after I got married. Joy is very smart and works very hard to keep good grades. She is an excellent violin player and has even started teaching violin lessons. When any of us older sisters have "fashion questions"...we just call Joy! She is super stylish and just beautiful. Not just beautiful in looks, but beautiful inside. She is kind and caring and gentle. I love my Joy!!
