Happy Birthday Savannah and Ciera

It's hard to believe that my twins are seven now!!!! Wow, where has the time gone. Their first year was certainly a blur, sleep was definitely a luxury then. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for these sweet girls. They have such a love for life. They are great friends (of course they have their moments), but I am so thankful they were sent to our family. For their seventh birthday they wanted to have a superhero party. I had no idea what we were going to do with this theme, but it turned out great and most of all no matter how much you "plan" kids will be kids and all they want to do is play!

Ariana invited her friend Brooklyn to help with the games.

Ariana's "NEW" Room

Ariana recently inherited her own room. She has always wanted a purple room, but I wasn't up for painting the entire room. We decided on purple stripes. After all the taping and painting I think it would have just been easier to paint the entire room! She loves the stripes, so that is all that matters.

David bought me a cricut machine for my anniversary and Ari and I came up with this cute project for her room. I picked up some different sized frames at the thrift store and spray painted them white, we cut out purple vinyl letters for her name. I went to Hobby Lobby and found some glitter scrapbook paper and that lined the inside of the frame. The frames are each hung by some purple ribbon and we put some cute purple daisies on each side. She loves it and at night the glitter paper sparkles.

She has this big bed all to herself, but she is used to sleeping with someone else, so I often find her right on the edge.


I found this desk and chair at the thrift store and painted them white.

Demi Lovato Concert with David Archuleta

We got tickets for the Demi Lovato concert at the Jobing.com Arena. The girls were really excited to go, but Chelsea was beyond excited when she found out that David Archuleta (from American Idol fame) was opening for Demi Lovato.

They made the cutest signs.

This is the band KSM that opened up before David Archuleta. They were really good and the girls got to meet them at the end of the concert.

David Archuleta, he really is a cutie pie and has an awesome voice.

Chelsea, looking totally in love with David Archuleta

We really enjoyed his performance.

We took the glow sticks that my Dad had bought the girls on the 4th of July.

The girls and their souvenirs!

The girls got to meet the band KSM. We were trying to figure out what their name stood for and Ariana said Kentucky Steamed Milk, oh Ari! I guess we should have asked them, when we met them :) We had a really good time and David is such a great Dad to endure yet another girl moment :)

4th of July Weekend in Pine, AZ

This has been such a busy month for our family. We left on June 13th to go to California for a week and then, Chelsea, Cherish and I left for girls camp three days after we go back from California. Then we went back to Pine to visit my grandma for the fourth of July. We went to the Pine cemetary to put some patriotic flowers on my grandpa's grave. This trip was a little surreal because last year we went to Pine for the fourth of July, but my grandpa was still alive. We really miss him, but were grateful for the opportunity to spend the weekend with my grandma, uncle carl and aunt sue, uncle daryl and aunt amy. We had so much fun playing games and look forward to the Clement family reunion on July 17th. The night of the fourth we went into Payson to watch the fireworks. We were right next to the lake. I think next time we are going to sit a little further back because we were covered in ash from the fireworks! The fireworks were awesome and long. We had a 41 minute fireworks display. My brother Sean kept singing "It's the show that never ends!" The park was packed and it took us an hour to get out of the parking lot. Thanks goodness for the dvd player in the truck. We had a great time and enjoyed spending time with our family.

My Great-Grandma Fuller, she was such a tiny little woman, like my Mom.

My Great-Grandpa Fuller, who was 76 years old when my Grandma was born!
It's hard to read his headstone, but he was born in 1842 and died in 1932. He had already raised a family and was widowed and my great-grandmother had been married and had been widowed in her early 30's. He was 46 years older than her, but they married and had three children together. My grandma was the baby. I believe he died when she was five. He was a great man and there are some great stories about him in the Pine museum.

I love the headstone that my Grandma picked out.

My parents and my Grandma.

Last year we took pictures of the girls on my grandparents property, so we followed the tradition and took some again this year. Here is the lovely Ciera.

The lovely Savannah

The lovely Ariana.

The lovely Cherish.

The lovely Chelsea.

The girls, twinky and my brother's dog Daisy didn't want to miss the photo opportunity and plopped right down next to the girls for the picture.

All ready for the fourth!

It is so hard to get my nephew to pose for the camera, so this is what I got!

My nephew Hayden, just wanted to walk up and down the lake.

My sweet grandma.

Our sweet little doggy, she was so freaked out by the crowd that in true chihuahua style she hid under the camping chair and shook. Then we added the fireworks and she was totally freaked out, poor thing.

My Aunt Sue kept hiding from the camera, but I snuck up on her and here she is giving me the look!

Waiting for the show. We had to get there three hours early to get a parking spot.

My brother trying to convince his son it was more fun to read than walk around the lake.

I kept trying to get a picture of my Aunt Sue, but there was always a glare around her. I told her she was a vampire and she sparkled like diamonds (if you watched the twilight movie you'd understand). The next morning she told me she dreamt of vampires all night because of me.
