Show and Tell

Me: Gracie today for show and tell you need to take something that is brown.  What do you want to take?

Gracie " I'll just bring myself!"

I went to pick the kids up from school on Thursday and was greeted by a hysterically screaming child!!! My girls are so emotional sometimes so I didn't really think to much about it until Grace climbed into the car screaming "I broke my arm"  I look down to a mangled, swollen arm!!!! Apparently she was doing a back bend at school and slipped on some wet grass and crash landed on her arm funny!  I knew immediately that the wrist was broken, so off we went to the Dr. ... Sure enough broken wrist!  Gracie was devastated!  "How am I going to do my gymnastics?!?!"  She cried harder about having to wear a cast than she did about the actual pain!  Lucky for her they still wanted her to come to tumbling and they are going to teach her all her tricks 1 handed!  As active as this girl is I am sure this is not the last broken bone!

Gracie at Dr. Valentine's office getting ready for her first cast!

And here it is ....

We have a tumbler in the house

Gracie Started her first tumbling class on April 14th! 

I can't believe how well she is doing!!!

Mason had the opportunity to play at the Real Soccer stadium for a High School tournament.

It was such an awesome experience to see him out on the field!

We stayed in St George after Vegas.  

It was so nice and relaxing. 

 Izzy had to do a report for school so we took a tour of the St George tabernacle. 

 It was a lot of fun and very interesting. 

 I was taking pictures for Izzy's report and every time I would take one Gracie would hop into the Picture! 

It was making Izzy so mad!!!

 It made me laugh.

We have been super busy with the kids the last few weeks. 

Crazy Busy!!!

 Lots of fun though. 

 First we took a weekend trip to Vegas for a Soccer tournament with Izzy.  

As usually they played awesome. 

 They made it to the semi-finals with the game ending with a tie score, resulting in a PK shootout!  Scary!!!! 

These girls have never had to do this in an actual game. 

 It was so awesome to see them bond together and encourage each other. 

 I loved how they put their arms around each other!!! 

They ended up winning the game after 7 shots!

 Izzy taking one of the shots and making it!!!

They made it to the championship and boy did they fight hard. 

 It too ended as a tie game and back to PK shootout!

 They ended up Winning again .... 

 1st Place in Vegas Baby!!!!

Izzy is one lucky girl!

I hate getting mail marked "to the parents of Mason Chavez"
unless it's one of these!!!!

I found this on pinterest today!
I loved it so much that I needed to post it.
Mason says to me all the time "why do you have to be sooo mean?!?!"
And I tell him "It is my JOB to be mean!!!"
One day when he is a parent, he will understand!

"Because I LOVE you, that's why!!!"

Amazing Student!!!

Look what we found in the mailbox today ... A postcard from the Principal!!!
You are so AMAZING Izzy!!!!!
Keep up the Good Work!
