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!

Yep ... That's my Boy!!!!

Today I am one proud mama!
Mason played in his 1st varsity soccer game last night.
He not only played awesome but scored the 1 and only goal!!!
Jordan beat Kearns 1 - 0!
Way to go Mason I am so Proud of you!!!!

Congratulations to Mason for making the soccer team!
I am so proud of you!!!
I know you have concerns about this year, but I think it's going to be an AWESOME season!
Enjoy these moments in life.
You have everything going for you ... ENJOY the journey!

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!

I know it's a little early but I got the bug to change things up yesterday.
Here Is my mantel for March!

I was so sick this last weekend with a sinus infection. I thought I was going to die! The pressure behind my eye and in my gum line was so intense, I thought my eye was going to pop right out! I was in bed all day Saturday and Sunday... with a whole lot of company!

Application for Permisson To Date My Daughter

My Aunt posted this on Facebook today and it made me laugh so hard. This is perfect for Matt to have on file for when his little girls start to date.

I have been meaning to post these since Christmas. The girls asked Santa for American Girl Dolls so I decided I would make them a bunch of clothes for their dolls. These are a few pictures. I really think I should have asked Santa for the dolls cause I have more fun dressing them up and doing their hair more than the girls do!!!

Mason got a job! He is working as a bus boy at one of my favorite restaurants... Training Table! So make sure if you eat here you leave the handsome help a tip!

I am so far behind on posting the events of our lives on this blog. I swear there is just not enough time to keep up with everything! Life is so crazy with 3 kids and 2 dogs. If I get a shower it's a good day. Soccer just started up so life is about to get even more crazy! I wanted to do a quick update on what we have been up to.

This is my cute Valentines Mantel. I Love the way it turned out.

This is a picture I found on pinterest that made me laugh. This is always the case with Jake and Sophie. Jake will never mess with the lady of the house, so Sophie always gets HIS bed!

I am an aunt once again to this beautiful baby girl ... Brecklyn Mckay born on Feb 12th!
I am so in Love with those finger toes!

I am always fighting with Matt about picking stuff up! He likes to leave a trail of where he has been and I HATE it! I told him the other day that I was going to start documenting his messes, these are just a few.

I hate how messy he leaves things!!! I was beginning to think he was a hoarder until i saw this at the gym today!

This car was full of garbage from floor to ceiling, front to back! The only place to sit was the drivers seat!!! I guess Matt is just a little messy!

I have been working out so much lately! It feels so good! My poor feet are so worn out and tired but at this point nothing is going to stop me! This is the blister I got yesterday from running! Gross to post a picture of my foot but I needed the proof of how hard I am working!

Next American Idol

This girl is so cute I can't stand it. She LOVES to sing. In fact that is all she does day and night. There have been times where we have put her in time out and she will sing about why she is in time out! Even if she doesn't know the words she carries the tune making up her own version. I love it ! Enjoy!!!

Meet Fred
This is our Elf on the shelf.
One day while playing at a friends house the girls wrote a letter to Santa
asking for their own elf.
We woke up on December 14, 2011
to our very own elf sitting in a chair with a book explaining everything!
The girls could not believe it!
Santa wrote a letter explaining that he had sent us a very special and unique Elf.
It was so fun to see what our "unique" elf did each night after we went to bed.
He is going to be a great addition to our Family traditions each year!
