CELEBRATE AMERICA!

Last night we went to Alex's school to see Celebrate America! This was a program put on by all of the 3rd grade classes. They did an awesome job! I took pictures and am trying to get them posted, however I am having trouble uploading the pictures to my blog (GRRR!)

We are really proud of Alex and all of his hard work gettign ready for the program. HE sang his little heart out. The songs they sang were wonderful. They also had a tribute to the 4 branches of the military that brought tears to my eyes. I'll let you know when it comes out on DVD!

INTRODUCING ALAYNA
The newest member of the Clement Family

Look at the sleeping Angel, she is so adorable!

Welcome to the family Alayna!

Here is the newest member of the Clement Family. Martin's sister Roxanne and her husband David had their first baby on April 11th. A little girl they names Alayna. She weighed 7 pounds, 10 ounces and was 19 inches long. Isn't she a cutie!

Here is the first family photo of the new little family. Aren't they adorable!

Here is Alayna meeting her cousin Anabelle for the first time. I can already tell they are going to be best friends! How fun is that!

Here are the kids on the trampoline checking out their "catch" trying to eat as much candy as they could before their parents hollered stop.














Kadie posing for the camera in the middle of the search for her eggs. Too cute!

Easter Egg Hunting time!

We had fun gettign together for an Easter Egg hunt at Pam's house. We had dinner and then Alesia, Nick, Nathan, Martin, Mike, and Chad all hid the eggs. The kids could not wait to go out back for the egg hunt.

Here is Rosie and her friend (cousin) Alesia. They are best buddies!
In the background you will see Aaron, Austin, Alex, and Andrew's wife who is visiting from Utah.



















Here is Alex, Russell, and Nick hanging out on the trampoline.

Birthday bike ride!

Here is the birthday girl riding her bike, no training wheels here! She'll be jetting down the sidewalk in no time!

Alex decided to get out his bike and give it a try since MacKenzie was out on hers. Who knew all we had to do was get MacKenzie a bike if we wanted Alex to ride his!

Here they are practicing their new skills before it got totally dark outside.

WOW! Look at my big girl... could it already be 7 years? Whwew'd my baby go?

MacKenzie's Birthday presents!

Good ole flip flops were on her list, gotta have flip flops!

Kenzie wanted hair pretties. She got head bands, hair clips, and ponytail holders.

The biggest thing on her list was a bike. She had an old hand me down bike that was way to small. She was very happy about her bike!

She got clothes, lots of clothes, she was in heaven!

MACKENZIE'S 7TH BIRTHDAY!

Here is the birthday girl before school. She was so happy to get to wear a new outfit on her birthday.

Here's her birthday cake. She requested chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, and Oreo's on top. When I was frosting the cake, we decided to crumble the cookies and put worms on top. She was very proud of her cake. I figure this is probably the last year she will think "worms" and "dirt" on a cake are cool, so we went for it.

Martin's hand lighting the candles on the birthday cake. Pink candles on a dirt and worm cake... only a 7 year old!

A beautiful picture of a mouth full of cake. It sure was good!
