Ok so the last few months have been soooooo crazy, busy, and stressful. I have had no time to blog anything so this post has a ton of pictures of things that have gone on over the last three months.
In January it was my Birthday the BIG 35 whoa! My Birthday was on a Monday so my husband and BFF threw me a small little party on the Saturday before. We ordered pizza and had three other couples over to play games and eat junk just like the old days. It was so much fun!!! Those are times when you get to feel like Sheree again and not only mom. I love being a mom but, once in a while it is good to think about me for just a short moment. Plus it was really fun because I won the first game and it wasn't because everyone let me :) Then on my actual B-day other than normal mom stuff I got to go out to eat with my Hubby and my parents. My mom took me shopping a couple of days before and she got me a couple of new dresses but, she wouldn't let me have them until my b-day so I got to open those and she made me favorite dessert also (eclairs). If you don't already know my Brother Joe's Birthday is the same day it was the HUGE 40 for him! I found out that no one was doing anything crazy for him so I tried to pull together a grim reaper person to go sing to him but it was to no avail. So I had to take the boring route. I got him one of his favorite treats and balloons and surprised him with them at wrestling practice with his boys. The next day he brought me an assortment of very YUMMY cupcakes. They were from Alisha's Cupcakes in Pleasant Grove on Main Street I highly recommend them!!! Even though it meant I was another year older it was a Good BIRTHDAY!!!
The next B-day that we had was just a couple of weeks later and it was Ty's #7. He decided that he wanted to have a party at Lowe's Extreme Air Sports in Provo. We had a blast it is the perfect place to take a bunch of rowdy boys and let them just RUN! Reggie was a crack up he was doing things that older boys were too afraid to do like this trapeze. It is pretty high up but, even then it is all foam underneath some of the kids were afraid to do it but, not our little Reggie. He was fighting to do it the only problem was that once he was swinging out he couldn't figure out that he should let go. It was Hilarious! Other parents around were watching and laughing at how brave he was. We all had a really good time. The bad news is that I only got a few pictures of my kids and then my battery died on my camera, so I didn't get any pictures of the friends or when they went to the party room to eat, open presents, sing happy birthday, and have cake. SORRY:(
On the day of his Birthday we gave him our gifts which was a movie that he wanted and some books. He loves to read right now and was very excited. Grandma and Grandpa Slade came over and they gave him this really gross toy that my boys have been asking for, for over a year. I have avoided giving to them but, then he got it anyway and he was freaking out. It is called Alien Autopsy it makes guts, eyeballs, lung bugs, and intestine fluids that are edible. EWWWW!!! The funniest part was they made it the next day and thought it was so gross that even thought they have more powder to make things they said they don't want to do it anymore. It made me laugh :)
Ty is the best kid. He likes to read, do his homework, help around the house, do things that make others happy, play Wii, ride his bike, and he is very sweet to his mother. Every time we go places as a family and I am dragging behind for some reason he is the only one that waits for me and walks with me or if we are leaving in seperate vehicles all the kids want to go with daddy but, Ty doesn't want me to be alone so he rides with me. He writes me notes all the time. Most the time they say the same thing but, it is so adorable. It usually says Dear mom, you are the best mom in the whole world, your are pretty and nice I love you from Ty. He just know how to warm his Mothers heart. Happy Birthday little boy we LOVE you!
On Ashton's eighth Birthday he was old enough to start the Boy Scouts and before he hit his ninth B-day he earned his WOLF badge. Congrats Ashton we are so Proud of you!!!
I grew up riding snowmobiles but, through the last about nine years since I have had kids I haven't had a lot of chances to go plus my parents or brothers sleds have been out of commission for the last few years but, now they are up and running and my parents invited my family to go snowmobiling with them before all the snow melted. When you look around here there isn't much snow left but, we drove up to strawberry and wow there was plenty of snow there. There was a ton of snow and it was a gorgeous sunny day. It was a perfect day. We all had a lot of fun and no one was cold in fact we were wondering why we made hot cocoa and soup to eat. It tasted great though! This picture above is of BFF's and cousins Ella and Jordyn (don't you just love the bunny ears).
When the kids weren't on the snowmobiles they did some sledding.
This is Ashton and Jordyn

Ty, Cory, and Reggie
Reggie just wanted to eat the snow
I love this picture! Right by where we were camped out for the day there was a large, long hill. It was quite the walk. While they were waiting their turn for a ride the three little ones decided to trek up this huge hill to go sledding. It took them forever but they were very determined.
I had a couple of random pictures that I just had to throw in because this post wasn't long enough (lol). I have seen on America's Funniest Home Videos a number of time kids falling asleep in their food or at the table but, I don't think I actually have had one do it until now. I didn't get lunch fast enough for him, it had to be postponed until after nap time. So cute!
Everyone of my kids loved to empty out my pan cupboard. It was their way of being with me while I cook dinner. This time Reggie and Jordyn decided to build a bed in it.
This face says it all (I'm not even sorry). It is nesquik powder they love to get into it. Now a days I can't leave Reggie alone for more than five minutes or something like this happens every time.
I figured I would put a picture of our dog in just for memory sake. This little girl is Piper.
In the last few months Jordyn and Ella started their first dance class. They are adorable!! They are learning two dances that they are going to perform in a recital in May. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In March Ashton celebrated his 9th B-day. He got to have a big friend party last year so this year we just partied as a family. He wanted to go to Nickelcaid so that is what we all did. We played games until we dropped and the boys played laser tag as well. We had a lot of fun but, next time we will not do it on a Saturday night it was crazy crowded. Once again I forgot to bring a camera to get the action. I also forgot to get a picture for Ty but, at their school the day of the kids B-day they put their name on the Marquee. I lost the picture with his actual name:( Then he got some fun gifts from both grandparents. This is one of them, doesn't he look hard core (that is what he is going for anyway).
He got a football also and he and dad were checking it out.
Instead of cake I made him his favorite which is Caramel Brownies. Hey if you can stick candles in it, it works right?
Last but not least of things over the last three months is EASTER. We do the traditional Easter Basket hunt when we first wake up and the trying to get some kind of breakfast in them other than Candy before church. I bet the teachers just love Easter Sunday, the kids must be nuts.
There must be a new Easter dress. Grandma Slade saw this dress and just loved it so she bought it for Jordyn. It was originally all white and I decided to add a splash of color to make not so baptism looking. She loves it, she feels like a princess in it, her favorite is when she twirls. It is really hard to not let her wear it throughout the week and to keep it nice for church. I guess you can't blame her she looks beautiful!
After church we all are invited to Grandpa and Grandma Slades for the traditional Easter Egg Hunt and coloring of eggs. Here is Ashton on the hunt.
Ty and his cousin Lindsey looking
Jordyn, Lindsey, and Caitlin found some!
Some eggs were missing and they are all stumped at where they went.
Reggie's attitude throughout the hunt. He wasn't feeling quite up to par.

All the cheerleaders watching from the porch.
Aaaaa the egg is blue!!! After the egg hunt all the little ones colored eggs. You got to love Easter!
