Shawn Turns 46!

 Shawn's 46th birthday was yesterday Tuesday March 28th.  Cruz had a game and he had already offered to do the stats for the game.  His birthday was pretty mellow - he picked up Lonestar for dinner after Cruz's game.  I definitely need to step it up next year for him! 

The girls were playing with the phones on Saturday and they took this picture of Shawn with the "bald" filter.  Shawn sent this picture to his mom on his birthday telling her he was mixing things up!
Crazy makeup on Sunday
I made a carrot cake on Sunday to have at Grammy's for Sunday dinner.  
Cruz's lacrosse game last night!  


Weekend Trip to St. George for Cruz

 Cruz went on a quick trip down to St. George with the Young Men in our ward.  The Larsens and Pughs have homes there so it made it a real nice trip. They didn't have great weather but they did get to play pickelball, go to the gun range, hike, and hangout!  Super cool of these dads to take time out of their schedule to do these cool things with the boys!

Busy week with lots of fun happenings!

 I took Lexi to the instacare Monday morning because he finger was really bothering her after she jammed it on the game Friday night of her tournament.  Turns out she has a broken finger!


Cruz had a 2 lacrosse games this week.  The first one was  on Tuesday close to Saratoga Springs (a bit of a drive) and the second one was at home on Thursday. Cruz didn't see the field on Tuesday but did get some playing time on Thursday.  He is working hard and I hope he keeps on pushing himself.  We also took him into a chiropractor to hopefully get some relief for his back that has been bothering him.  


Shawn and I gave Lexi Bucks tickets for her birthday.  We had fun at the game last night and the Bucks destroyed the Jazz!







Ruki was at the game and sent us this picture :)

Lexi turns 11!!!!!

 

Well the pictures loaded backwards. So we will start with the end of the day.  We had her favorite dinner - chili cheese dogs and chocolate cake for dinner! Uncle Russ came over too!

Alegra was able to sew with Grandma Frye for a bit after church on Sunday afternoon.  
Birthday pictures before church





Alegra set up the cutest scavenger hunt for Lexi to find her presents. Alegra also made the cutest video of her and Lexi together over the years, it was so cute.  








Lexi woke up early on her birthday.  She was able to go on a birthday morning walk with her dad and Grandma Frye


Lots of games this weekend

 Grandma Frye came for the week and she was able to see lots of games.  Lexi had 2 games on Friday night.  Cruz had a lacrosse game at the same time  on Friday night so Alegra, dad, and Grandpa Frye went to Cruz's lacrosse game.  

It was a pretty chilly evening but Cruz's team won!

Lexi had 2 more games on Saturday.  Grandma Frye and dad went to the first game of Lexi's and then Shawn brought Grandma Frye over to Alegra's soccer game.  Lexi's team won the last game, the championship game, so they are the champions. Alegra's team pulled out a win for their first spring league game.  






We went to dinner to Royal India to start the birthday celebration for Lexi.  We came home and watched a movie together.  Grammy Raddon gave Lexi some new basketball shoes for her birthday.  Lexi opened up her present on Thursday so she had the shoes for the tournament.  Grammy got to see Lexi play in her games on Friday night and then on Saturday she left for Hawaii with her siblings.  Lexi is kinda in Love with her shoes!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

The Leprechaun found us. I didn't get a picture with Cruz and Alegra but the Leprechaun left some Lucky Charms, some gold coins, and st. patty's day socks for each of the kids.

NO MORE BRACES FOR ALEGRA!!!

 Big day for Alegra!  She got her braces off.  The day didn't go exactly how she planned though!  We went into the Ortho at 8:00 a.m. this morning.  They said she would be about an hour and 15 minutes so I left and ran to my gym that was 5 minutes away.  Right when I was about an hour at the gym and just wrapping up I look down and there are messages from Alegra saying she threw up everyone and I needed to come now.  I raced back and she was in the chair still getting work done on her mouth but her sweatshirt was off.  When they were taking the impressions of her teeth to be able to make the retainer she was gagging a bunch and then all her breakfast came up. The poor girl working with her had to keep the impression in so they could get the mold but there was throw up all over.  Then we found out because everything that was happening the impression didn't work. Luckily the Dr. was sympathetic to Alegra's gag reflex and he took a 3 D picture and is going to send out for her retainer. With all of that happening we had to go home and Alegra had to take a shower (because there was throw up in her hair) and get ready again. I thought I was going to have her to school at 9:30 but it turned out to be 11:20.  Oh well!  Her smile looks beautiful though!
