Happy 10th anniversary!

Hard to believe 10 years have passed since I married my Best Friend. It has been a long journey. Through the ups and downs one thing has always stayed the same , my love for Matthew. Words can not express what I feel for Matthew. He is the only one who can make me smile when I am so mad at the world! Everyday he makes me laugh. He carries me when I can't find my way and feel so overwhelmed with life. He makes me mad. All the time! Mad, mad, mad! As mad as he can make me, He has always loved me enough to let me be me! He works so hard to provide for me and our children. I never tell him how proud I am of him. Just complain, always complaining! I want him to know, I am proud of him He has come such a long way and accomplished so much. I always knew he would be a GREAT Man! We started our lives together so young. All odds against us and some how we have survived. We found that through life's journey, it is not always what you think it is going to be. But if you want it enough you can have everything. Matt is my everything! My favorite quote is "We may not have it all together but together we have it all" I love this quote because from the outside my life is chaos. My house is not perfectly clean. My kids are always fighting. I am always a day late and a dollar short. But in the end, together Matt and I have it all! An awesome family, a home to shelter us and a love only he and I understand! A life I wouldn't trade for anything! Happy 10Th Anniversary Matthew! I love you !

na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Batdog!

Matt and Sophie ... He says he doesn't like her, but I always catch him loving her when no one is watching. She is such a sweet dog! Just yesterday she learned how to shake her paw! She has been a great addition to our family.

Thanks to Danielle, my Open House for Maizy Grace Designs was a huge success! So sewing is all I have been doing for the past few days. It turned out to be an awesome night! Danielle was great to do that for me :) I have mainly been selling these through word of mouth or through Jenny "The bow Lady". So it was great to be able to get a bunch out there, to hopefully get more orders. These skirts are what I have been doing to help bring in a little money and still be able to be here for the kids. I am so grateful it has worked out as well as it has.

It was "SUPER HERO" day at Eastmont today. Mason decided he would go as a missionary! He got online and made a badge that said "Elder Chavez"and dressed in his Sunday best. He looked great! It was kind of scary seeing him like that. I always think of Mason as my little guy. The little guy with those beautiful eyes and bowl cut, like when he was 4. Seeing him like this makes me realize how old he really is. He will be serving his mission before I know it! I told him today would probably be his real first experience being a missionary. It's hard to be in middle school and not be judged for something you believe. I told him to stay strong, remember who he is, what he stands for and not to give in to what the other kids might say. He is such an awesome young man. I love him so much!

I didn't tell the girls we were going to Disney on Ice. I was going to suprise them. So when I told them to get ready for Mason's soccer game and Isabelle wanted to take one of her baby dolls with us, I knew we could't take it. So I told her no. She was so upset crying, telling me she was not going to have fun because she couldn't take her toy! Next thing Gracie starts crying she's hungry. It was so hard not to start smiling and give the suprise away. Little did they know we were on our way to dinner and to have FUN!!!

The girls were hungry, so we told them that we would stop and get them something to eat before we went to Mason's soccer game. We ordered our food and the girls were still mad. Then Grandma handed Isabelle her ticket. It took a second for her to read it and then... the ear to ear smile! Gracie couldn't believe it, she was going to Disneyland on Ice!

We took the train downtown, Because Grandma and Mom are both to chicken to drive the freeway in rush hour traffic!

We were able to meet Cinderella and Tiana !!

It's not Disney on Ice if you don't have your $6.00 bucket of popcorn and your $16.00 snow cone! I still am in shock at paying $31.00 for 2 snow cones! Oh well, as you can see, they enjoyed every last bite!

Isabelle's getting a closer look!

Gracie is so funny! Today we are driving in the car and she pulls out this picture that her "BOYFRIEND" has made her. She told me "Kyson made this for me mom, cause we are in LOVE!" It is a picture of Grace and Kyson playing on the playground. She's only 5 and thinks she already in LOVE! Matt and I are in trouble with this one!!! The best part, he colored the picture on a paper towel!

Izzy surprised me today with this beautiful song. She sang it to me before school and I loved it.

Dedicated to my mom
