Family Pictures 2010

Back to school again

School Year 2009-2010

This Year 2010-2011

I can't believe how fast this summer has gone. I guess we were busy having too much fun to notice the time passing! However, I knew it was time for school to begin by the way the kids were fighting and how grumpy I was getting. School started August 23rd, the kids were so excited. Mason is starting 9Th grade, Izzy 3rd and Gracie kindergarten. Every year I make the kids cinnamon rolls for breakfast the morning of the first day. They pick the perfect outfit, pack their new backpack full of supplies and then we take the picture! The one I take every year in the front yard. This year I could hardly believe my eyes! Mason is a giant! I can't believe how much he has grown this past year. They are so cute!! I Love being a Mom, best thing I have done in my life by far. Good Luck Kids! I know you will do great!

4Th of July

Every 4th of July we

Have fun traditions we do to celebrate. I usually dress my girls in Matching Red, White and Blue outfits before leaving to the Sandy City carnival and then off to the Cabin. This Year I let the girls choose their Shoes. Each Pair of shoes totally reflect each girl's personality.

Gracie's Cowgirl boots ... "Sassy!"

Isabelle's Chuck Taylors scream .... "Tom Boy!"

I love these Girls. I am so glad I have one of each!! One girly Girl and one Tom boy! Together they keep life very exciting!!

We always start the day with the Sandy City kids Fair. They have a small carnival and crafts for the kids to do. This is a picture of my cute kiddos waiting to get a balloon! Funny thing they thought they were in line for face painting ... Dad got in the wrong line and the lines are 45 minutes long ... so balloons for everyone!

Gracie totally knows how to accessorize! She requested a hat in red, white and blue to match her cute outfit!

"Beautiful!"

Next our favorite activity for the day!! Off to the Cabin for the big BBQ With Grandma and Grandpa Hoskins. We enjoy awesome food and fun!! The kids favorite part ... BINGO! They love to win prizes!!

I wanted one last picture before we left the canyon. It was so sunny out, the kids could barely open their eyes!! We counted to 3 and the kids opened their eyes for a split second for me to take the Picture!!

We had an awesome day!

A day at the pool!

Today we spent the day at the pool with the cousins! It was an awesome day! No fights, a good lunch and lots and lots of fun!!! My girls have offically turned into mermaids!! It happens every summer!!

Real Game!

We were able to go to the Real game tonight as a family. We had such a fun time. I got to see where Mason and Matt's season seats are. It was so fun!! Even when the rain came the kids didn't complain.

The rain came,

We got Wet!

But we had a Blast!

Where has the time gone?

Where has the time gone? Seems like yesterday I took these pictures. Mason is 9, Izzy 3 1/2 and Baby Grace 5 months. Everyone always says "Time flies!" After having my kids, I now understand how fast time does fly!

Happiness...

Happiness ... Being part of this incredible family!!!

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 !

I am so excited to start this family blog. I love to read other blogs and see how much fun being part of a family can be. So here goes, a look into the crazy lives of the Chavez Family.
