We have 5(wow!) wonderful terrors named Mikinzie-11(Miki), Jaidon-9, Chase-5, Breslynn and Daxon 2.Shelley Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04740759869247512534noreply@blogger.comBlogger71125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080118911904921437.post-76188237523649090122011-09-18T21:35:00.000-05:002011-09-18T23:00:16.008-05:00I am a little behind....Well life is in full swing around the Shelley house. I have been so tired come Sunday evenings that I have just relaxed and enjoyed my couch. Jaidon is loving baseball and is pitching a little bit. He is doing great and is working hard on becoming more accurate. Chad is helping coach, so I miss alot of what is going on chasing after Bres and Daxon. He has also started taking tap and hip hop classes at the dance studio. He is loving it and has made a couple good friends. He does make it clear that baseball is the most important and dance is just to pass time.<br />
Chase is playing soccer and really starting to understand what is going on. During his first game he told me I need to get a piece of paper and write his name on it and put down how many goals he gets each game every time for the rest of his life! We are currently at game 1-2 goals, game 2- 2goals. I better keep track or I will be in big trouble! He is adjusting to school pretty well, but is still way tired. Being so tired causes the issue of being grumpy and not talking so nice. We are really working on that one! Chase has also started taking a "Just for Boys" dance class and loves it. He gets to tap and what ever else the teacher needs to do to keep thier attention! It is fun to see a class of all boys 5-8 years old learning to dance:) (We are lucky that our studio has a family plan. Which means that after a family has enrolled in 7 classes all others are free. Miki takes care of the 7 so the boys get to try it out for free. We like free!)<br />
Miki is as busy as ever. She is doing great and loving life. This girl loves her dance! She is taking a ton of classes and LOVES each one of them. She auditioned for the Nutcracker yesterday. It was a long day of dancing. I dropped her off at the studio at 9:30 am and did not pick her up till 5:45. She then had a rehearsal today from 2:30 to 7, whew. She was in bed early tonight! She has been cast as a mouse and a angel. It is a neat experience for her because it is with a professional company out of California and they use locals for the "extras" So she gets to work with some AMAZING dancers. She also started having private percussion lessons through school this week. They sure love her and think she is very talented. I had fun listening to her teacher be amazed at her knowledge and skill level. I think she is pretty dang amazing too, but not just for her musical abilities:)<br />
<br />
Breslynn and Daxon are just as silly as ever. I am having a lot of fun with them during the day. I love watching them play together and imagine. Two year olds are so much fun! I think back to my big kids and I have always loved this stage. Daxon is truly all boy and is a disaster waiting to happen. If this boy can make a mess he is all over it. Bres is a girl after my heart, she absolutely LOVES shoes! She is such a little mommy and loves to look pretty. <br />
Chad and I are just trying to keep sane in all the madness. He was called the Bishopric a few weeks ago so we are all adjusting to the new things that brings with it. Fun for us! No seriously, I have been thinking alot lately how truly blessed we are and how lucky I am to have my family. I wouldn't change the craziness for anything. I am exhausted a lot but it is all worth it. There is a update..........<br />

I just love this kid. He LOVES baseball, driving Mom nuts, spending time with Dad, ice cream, steaks, shrimp, bugging his big (bossy) sister, cuddling with Mom :), naughty words, hunting, being outside, GIRLS (hot ones), and being an awesome kid. He is so fun to be around. I love his laugh and am so glad that he hasn't out grown it. I am so lucky to be his mom. <br />

We had a crazy storm last night that did some real damage around town. It knocked out power for a lot of people. Amber is still without power tonight. We are lucky that ours only flickered. School was canceled due to no power. Nothing like having school canceled on the 2nd day! Next week is going to be a long hard week for them. Poor Chase will have the hardest time. All day kindergarten and a bus that picks them up at 7:08 makes for a long day. <br />
Here is our damage form the storm:( I loved this tree. It was weakened in a storm last year and we lost part of it. This time not much survived. Chad and the boys are having fun using the chainsaw on a positive note. I just wish it would of taken out the tree next to it, I don't like that one. No such luck. <br />
Last night before the storm Jaidon had a practice game for baseball. They had him PITCH! What! I think they are trying to give me a heartattack! I guess he is pretty accurate and with a little practice could be a pretty good pitcher. Chad is helping coach this season so I better make sure he knows that I may not be able to handle it! I don't think he really cares.:) <br />
As I write this there is thunder and lighting going on outside....hope it is not like last night! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5ouYTO5yP0Y/Tk8sMXOhiwI/AAAAAAAAAk8/SgLGn1jvdp0/s1600/IMG_3864.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="200" width="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5ouYTO5yP0Y/Tk8sMXOhiwI/AAAAAAAAAk8/SgLGn1jvdp0/s200/IMG_3864.JPG" /></a></div><br />

Another school year has begun. I can not believe that my Chase is in kindergarten!!!! He is ready to be in school but I will sure miss our time together during the day. I love that boy! We found out last Thursday who Chase has, Mrs McNorton. We are very excited for him. He is way excited because his friend Will is in his class. Will and Chase had preschool together last year and have become best buddies. On Tuesday we were able to find out who Miki and Jaidon have. Miki has Mrs. Walker. She is happy because "Micheal"(insert big sigh here) is in her class, but sad that her other friends Reagan and Shelby are not. Miki is so positive and will love it just because it is school. Jaidon has Mrs. Green, I don't know who was more bummed, him or mom & dad. We really wanted him to get Mrs Turner, Miki had her and we loved her. To add salt to our wounds his to best buddies Creed and Jack are in her class:( Oh well! Jaidon will do great and came home from school raving about his teacher. He will do great! They only had a half day and it was wierd just having Bres and Dax at home. I didn't have Koen until 1:30 so I really got a taste of just us three at home. I am sad summer is over but greatful to get back on a routine. I am horrible of keeping one in the summer. I am so lucky that they love school and really look forward to it starting again. I think Miki starts counting down the days till it starts again the first day of vacation!

I am so proud of Mikinzie and Jaidon. They did AWESOME! It was so much fun to watch them. Mikinzie is hooked! She wants to be on stage all the time, we already knew that but she made sure we still were aware that it hadn't changed. Jaidon did a great job and was an fabolus Grandpa Jack. He was put it at the last min. and did great. Everyone that they worked with said how much they loved them. It never gets old hearing how great your kids are!:) I think all the staff wanted to take Jaidon home! I did explain that he is always better for everyone but me, but hey at least he behaves for others!

Well things have been busy as usual. I have been so wiped out come Sunday the last few weeks I have slacked on my blogging. We have been doing alot of play practice and dance. Jaidon decided to make life even crazier by doing a baseball and football camp in the evenings. So basically I have spent most of my time being a taxi driver:) We did head down to the Peterson's last Saturday and had a blast hanging with our friends. We even broke out the scrapbooks to see the picks from all those years ago when we were at Carolynn's birthday party. It was so fun to see our "big" kids not so BIG. We are so lucky to have such great friends!On Tuesday Miki decided that Bres was ready to be done with her binky. I was sitting on the couch and I could hear them talking. They inform me that they are mailing her binkies to Cinderella. Bres was all excited and they took them out to the mail box. I then see Miki discretely putting them in the trash. Waooooo wait a sec. get those out and hide them unless you want to sit up with her in the middle of the night was my response. I know I am a big wuss when it comes to things like this. Well she did great and no more binkies at our house:)Shelley Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04740759869247512534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080118911904921437.post-70098004706259599932011-07-10T19:15:00.003-05:002011-07-10T21:38:56.449-05:00Sari is here!We are so lucky to have Sari come stay for a few weeks this summer. She came in town on Tuesday. We are loving having her here and this time we get to spend with her, she is such a sweet heart! In other VERY exciting news......we have a Ooompa Loompa and Veruca in our house! We are so excited to see them preform Willy Wonka the end of the month. Miki is way happy because she will have a solo and gets to speak with a British accent:)They are both loving the time that they are in class learning the play which awesome since they have to get up and go by 8am in the SUMMER! <A href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oW15EeJfQnI/ThpI2TRW36I/AAAAAAAAAic/aYKVbvqv1FQ/s1600/3c27b901-f8ea-432b-960d-2be75e6dcd66.jpg"><IMG style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 133px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627890782076067746 border=0 alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oW15EeJfQnI/ThpI2TRW36I/AAAAAAAAAic/aYKVbvqv1FQ/s200/3c27b901-f8ea-432b-960d-2be75e6dcd66.jpg"></A> We have also got to watch Jaidon play in the All-Star tournament.

<br />We had a great 4th! We went to our ward barbque to start the day off and enjoyed good company. We then went and bought a small arsenal to set off that night. To help the kids not drive us crazy waiting for it to get dark I took the 3 older ones to see Cars 2. It was a cute movie and they really seemed to enjoy it. We had a great time setting of fireworks and enjoying the neighbors as well. Poor Breslynn didn't like them at first, then Amber and Koen came and she started to have fun:)Shelley Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04740759869247512534noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080118911904921437.post-49154412777192823672011-07-03T22:10:00.002-05:002011-07-03T23:28:34.484-05:00A week of BaseballWell another fun and exciting week has come and gone. Jaidon was able to try out for the All Star Team for baseball to start the week off. He did really well and we found out that he made a Team!!! Way to go! He will play in an All Star tournament next weekend which should be really fun to watch. I took Bres and Dax to the tryouts with me and they crashed:) It was rather nice. It was sooo stinking HOT and humid, but that is what I get for living in Missouri.
<br /><p><a href='http://lh3.ggpht.com/-w1FBlko96H0/ThEvJw5eeKI/AAAAAAAAAgo/OZWh4YNn6yg/20110626142519.jpg'><img src='http://lh3.ggpht.com/-w1FBlko96H0/ThEvJw5eeKI/AAAAAAAAAgo/OZWh4YNn6yg/s400/20110626142519.jpg' /></a></p><div
<br />Along with tryouts Jaidon had 3 games and Chase had 2 t-ball games. Thankfully none of them were at the same time. They both played really well. Chase had his games cut short because of the extreme heat....see I wasn't kidding about it being HOT! Then we were off to Jaidons. He is such a good ball player and has loves playing first base. This is a picture of how we kept the twins entertained at the games.... CANDY! Yeah Mom wasn't so thrilled, but it worked. LOL! Look at those blue eyes, oh yeah the matching tongue too!

<br />Dance started up this week. Miki and I get to take a strength and stretch class together. I love that I get to spend some time with just her. She is growing up way to fast! I got my butt kicked and she didn't think it was hard. Go figure. I explained to her that my big butt hadn't been dancing hours and hours a day for along time and she just looked at me funny. I am starting to get used to those looks. I have to brag for a split sec. about myself. Ms. Marla is our teacher, she owns the studio, and she told me I have great turn out! LOL! Once again it doesn't take much to please me but I was so happy to receive that complement. Those of you who have danced understand my excitement over this. Chad just laughed at me. Jaidon is taking a hip hop class too! He is so funny! He loved it and his "girl friend" (more to come about her) is in the class. So the Mom taxi is driving up there 4 days a week for the next 5 weeks. We are still waiting to hear if Miki made the comp team again.
<br />
<br /><p><a href='http://lh5.ggpht.com/-69Epwgo2bNk/ThEvISpqd9I/AAAAAAAAAgk/MFwh5_OIKtw/20110629112213.jpg'><img src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/-69Epwgo2bNk/ThEvISpqd9I/AAAAAAAAAgk/MFwh5_OIKtw/s400/20110629112213.jpg' /></a></p
<br />The above picture is my silly kids. Man do I love how they play together and have so much fun imagining. Apparently they are ninjas. I was cracking up so hard at them and their outfits. I asked Miki why she was in all pink and she said "cause I couldn't find all black and it has to be all the same color" Oh OK that makes sense. LOL!
<br />Jaidon got glasses/contacts. He wasn't to sure he would like glasses but secretly I think he loves them. In all the craziness we were able to pick them up before his last game on Thursday. Umm yeah they helped. He hit a home run and hit each time up on the 2 or 3rd pitch. He was a good little hitter before but now it will be fun to see how well he does. Feeling kind of bad that I drug my feet getting this taken care of. I was waiting to see if the school nurse did an end of the year screening and then I just never made the appointment. Oh well taken care of now.
<br /><p><a href='http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ZnscO63uQuA/ThEvGLqlNtI/AAAAAAAAAgc/r5cWeR6WM3I/20110630163328.jpg'><img src='http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ZnscO63uQuA/ThEvGLqlNtI/AAAAAAAAAgc/r5cWeR6WM3I/s400/20110630163328.jpg' /></a></p>
<br />Ok so more on this "girl friend" Jaidon was invited to go to dinner and a movie with her fam. Apparently she spent her own money and bought a dress for this "date" I am all for them being friends, but I think the Dad is in love with my son! LOL Not in a creepy way, he just really thinks Jaidon is a riot. I can't blame him we think he is pretty dang awesome too, but I find it a little funny that this dad is so thrilled that my son likes his daughter. I know Chad would feel a little different about things if the tables were turned and it was Miki. Look at how suave he is! I told him I wanted a picture and he just put his arm around her! I think we are in trouble. He told his sister that he would be smooching on Friday night after we got the call. WHAT! How old are you! What a nut! Let me clarify that there was no smooching on Friday night for him thank goodness!

<br />
<br />We were also able to go swimming with Amber and Koen on Thursday. We had a lot of fun. Amber brought her camera so I will have to steal some of the pics from her. Can I just say how much I love having them out here. I get to love on Koen all most every day and she my sister too! Doesn't get much better than that. We had fun coloring each others hair on Tuesday night. We are pros! I love her:)
<br />
<br />Ok so that is the main high lights from the week. Man life is crazy....love it though!

We had fun and the kids got to eat tons of sugar. Chad, Mikinzie, Chase, Breslynn and Daxon headed down and where able to meet Sizzle "the tow(cow) as Breslynn calls him. There are no pictures of this because I was watching Jaidon play ball and his team won 25-11. Way to go boys! Jaidon and I then left headed down after his game and made it there about the 3rd inning, so we still got to watch a lot of ball.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OfyHGV53enc/Tge0AvPsIdI/AAAAAAAAAfQ/z79KuuwUCPU/s1600/IMG_3631.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OfyHGV53enc/Tge0AvPsIdI/AAAAAAAAAfQ/z79KuuwUCPU/s320/IMG_3631.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622660584570626514" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dxB9wpKscHM/Tge0AbFrPcI/AAAAAAAAAfI/jrISPnlmFB4/s1600/IMG_3632.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dxB9wpKscHM/Tge0AbFrPcI/AAAAAAAAAfI/jrISPnlmFB4/s320/IMG_3632.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622660579159915970" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hg083CuIn7g/Tgez_zOs8JI/AAAAAAAAAfA/NRuqHcgmD30/s1600/IMG_3633.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hg083CuIn7g/Tgez_zOs8JI/AAAAAAAAAfA/NRuqHcgmD30/s320/IMG_3633.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622660568460357778" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MxdHgeNdT8s/Tgez_HLue-I/AAAAAAAAAe4/c-R14LNQmb4/s1600/IMG_3635.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MxdHgeNdT8s/Tgez_HLue-I/AAAAAAAAAe4/c-R14LNQmb4/s320/IMG_3635.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622660556636716002" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xhgYDmGJ6dQ/Tgez-oomvII/AAAAAAAAAew/QjJTPioNJmQ/s1600/IMG_3648.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xhgYDmGJ6dQ/Tgez-oomvII/AAAAAAAAAew/QjJTPioNJmQ/s320/IMG_3648.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622660548436343938" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zFeZDprNbiA/Tge39Jmb1CI/AAAAAAAAAfg/sG4jMygs_vc/s1600/IMG_3625.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zFeZDprNbiA/Tge39Jmb1CI/AAAAAAAAAfg/sG4jMygs_vc/s320/IMG_3625.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622664920972383266" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jtkLCHQysT8/Tge38hgz_2I/AAAAAAAAAfY/HzUclXBPK5g/s1600/IMG_3628.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jtkLCHQysT8/Tge38hgz_2I/AAAAAAAAAfY/HzUclXBPK5g/s320/IMG_3628.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622664910211383138" /></a>Shelley Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04740759869247512534noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080118911904921437.post-90115389453535448492011-06-26T16:42:00.003-05:002011-06-26T17:28:06.983-05:00Alot of fun!This week was busy! We had a lot going on, ok I was able to do a lot of fun things:) We started the week off by heading to the orthodontist for Miki. She no longer has a mouth full of plastic!! She is happy about the new appliance because there is more room in her mouth and we don't get after her to close her mouth all the time now when she eats. Miki is also excited that she can talk normal too! (I snapped this pic real quick....man she is beautiful!!!!)<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xxbMWXJbv1w/TgerJf2wcWI/AAAAAAAAAeo/zd306fMZwLI/s1600/IMG_3649.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xxbMWXJbv1w/TgerJf2wcWI/AAAAAAAAAeo/zd306fMZwLI/s320/IMG_3649.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622650839453692258" /></a><br />Miki also had auditions for the dance team at her studio on Tuesday. We are crossing our fingers and hoping that she makes it again. It has been said that they are taking fewer this year and changing things up a little. She feels really good about her audition so no matter what we know she did her best!<br />Wednesday night Chad and I got a REAL date night! We didn't even go to the movies. Crazy huh! Our friend had a birthday and she likes to go to World's of Fun in Kansas City. We had so much fun riding all the rides and could not of asked for better weather. Some how we ended up doing a ride called Rip Cord. They take you up 180 feet and let you free fall. I have no idea why I didn't stop and think for 2 seconds and realize that I would be CRAZY to do this. I lived. I had fun. Don't need to do it again, for awhile:)<br /><a href="http://www.worldsoffun.com/_upload/galleries/ripcord_photo_gallery/Ripcord-01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 394px; height: 600px;" src="http://www.worldsoffun.com/_upload/galleries/ripcord_photo_gallery/Ripcord-01.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Thursday night I got to go down to Star Light Theatre and see 9 to 5. Chad gave me season tickets for the Broadway plays. I must say I am rather enjoying them. It was a fun play, I had good company, and I am looking forward to going again in 2 weeks for Guys and Dolls. I think I am hooked! It is nice to know that I have a night out every 2 weeks this summer. They really have good shows this season.<br />I had to be a mean mom and set down some solid rules with consequences this week. It is not that there hasn't been rules, but something had to change for my sanity. I am a big meany and only give 1 warning before they get to choose a job from the jar. I have got walls, windows, and mirrors washed. The car has been cleaned and the floors swept and mopped to name a few things. I am liking the extra jobs, kids not so much. It seems to really have helped and I am thinking it won't be long before the jobs become fewer and fewer. We haven't made it past the job on the list so something must be working. I am blessed to have good kids that really don't cause to much trouble.Shelley Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04740759869247512534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080118911904921437.post-62263978644334762722011-06-25T22:06:00.003-05:002011-06-25T22:15:37.622-05:00I am so excited!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-USrts3qDFxU/TgajVs7BJiI/AAAAAAAAAeY/XGR-ioA-2m0/s1600/20110617164617.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-USrts3qDFxU/TgajVs7BJiI/AAAAAAAAAeY/XGR-ioA-2m0/s320/20110617164617.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622360778049922594" /></a><br /><a href='http://www.google.com/m?hl=en&gl=us&client=ms-android-verizon&source=android-launcher-search&q=wa'>wa - Google Search</a><div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.8</div><br />I just figured out how to upload photos that I take with my phone to my blog! I am so excited:0) I guess it doesn't take much to make me happy.lol So I guess what I am saying is there will be more posts for sure now. Woohoo!Shelley Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04740759869247512534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080118911904921437.post-27554571649785850242011-06-19T18:09:00.002-05:002011-06-19T18:59:30.029-05:00Don't die of shock :)Yeah!!! I have been trying to sign into our blog for awhile and as you can tell from the lack of posts I have not been able to. For some reason I was able to today.WOOHOO! I must admit I have gotten very lazy and post most of my pic's to face book, I can do that right from my phone. I am going to try, fingers crossed, to post every Sunday what has been going on in our lives. This is my way of trying to keep track of all the memories that otherwise would be forgotten. Come on lets face it I have just about the worst memory in the world. I hope that my kids don't catch on or I am in BIG trouble when they get older! So this will be my way of putting it all down for myself, since my lack of posting I am sure no one checks our blog anymore:)<br /><br />This past week was a some what quite week for our family. Thank goodness! We finished Mikinzi's dance recital on Sunday and are very proud of what a beautiful dancer she is becoming. You can really tell that see LOVES it. Mom is of course thrilled that see does and totally enjoys the hours she gets to spend watching dance during recital weekend :) <br /><br />We were able to enjoy Jaidon play 3 games this week. He sure is loving baseball and is doing really well. He is playing first base and sometimes 3rd. Dad made a deal with him that if he gets to third or home off his hit he gets a half gallon of ice cream. Well needless to say we are enjoying some yummy ice cream at our house in a variety of flavors! <br /><br />The most shocking happening of the week, no of her 11 years on this earth......Mikinzie got her ears pierced!!!!!! Dad once again made a deal, this time it was with Miki. The deal was if she got her ears pierced he would make sure she got the nasal spray for her flu shot. So her willingness to do this shows how BAD she hates, if that word is strong enough,shots. Breslynn got her "ear pretties" a few weeks before because she really wanted them. No tears. She loves them and wanted them really, really bad:)Well seeing little sis was not enough and talking to her numerous friends on many different occasions was not enough proof that it wasn't horribly painful. I had to show her many clips on you tube of little ones getting them pierced. All that and she survived and loves them. Funny thing is that Miki has always played/rubbed ears when she is tired, upset, or bored:) Well now she can't rub her ears so she sits and spins her earrings. She is such a nut! <br /><br />So that was a quite week. This next week is back to craziness, but I wouldn't have it any other way!<br /><br />xxxooo'sShelley Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04740759869247512534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080118911904921437.post-1009799856525787832010-08-10T19:41:00.003-05:002010-08-10T20:44:57.464-05:00Miki Summer DanceThis post is for the Grandmas who wanted to watch Miki dance, but couldn't make it out. They learned these dances in their 6 week summer class.<OBJECT id=BLOG_video-FAILED class=BLOG_video_class width=320 height=266 contentId="FAILED"></OBJECT>Shelley Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04740759869247512534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080118911904921437.post-18274335710402324602010-07-18T15:51:00.007-05:002010-07-19T10:02:06.430-05:00Wow....where does the time go?!Well life around here is crazy!!! I know, I know what should I expect with five kids, three dogs (no that is not a typo. We now have THREE dogs) and callings that keep us very busy. We are all doing well and instead of doing the laundry, cleaning the kitchen, and cleaning up the fish food in the entry (no clue how it got there in the middle of the night) I am sitting on the couch updating my blog. <br />We started the summer by adding Cooper to the family. You ask why in the world would we want/need another dog?! I agree, but he is so cute:) Chad found him online here in town and convinced me to go look at him. Well....long story short Breslynn fell in LOVE, kids promised to help train him, and I am the BIGGEST sucker of them all. He is a great little dog and won't get much over 7lbs.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TENscaWa4TI/AAAAAAAAAaw/-pv1UZtTtt4/s1600/IMG_2208.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TENscaWa4TI/AAAAAAAAAaw/-pv1UZtTtt4/s320/IMG_2208.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495355205687632178" /></a><br />We have been very busy with baseball. Jaidon had so much fun playing and they did really well. This means we had lots of games. Overall they took 2nd in the city wide tournament. He played a couple of double headers to end up in the championship game which he thought was awsome. Mom had a blast, but was exhausted after chasing two 15 months around. I didn't get a good pic with his team. My camera was acting funny and Breslynn was jumping out of my arms while I tried to take it.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERi2NJEjYI/AAAAAAAAAa4/Pi6OQ-TFc9k/s1600/IMG_2288.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERi2NJEjYI/AAAAAAAAAa4/Pi6OQ-TFc9k/s320/IMG_2288.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495626128679013762" /></a><br />Another exciting thing that has happened around here is Miki auditioned for the dance team at the studio where she dances and she MADE it! She is super excited and can't wait to start. I think she will be spending lots of time at the studio this next year. It is a good thing we LOVE them :)<br />We have been swimming alot too. There is a great pool about 30min from our house that some of our friends from church go to and they talked me into joining also. It was really tuff since I hate sitting at the pool all day! (LOL) Breslynn and Daxon love it and my friends are so amazing helping me out while we are there. I couldn't do it with out them. It is well worth the drive. These pictures are from our pool in the back yard. I think this is the best purchase we have ever made! It is not deep enough that I worry about them in it, but deep enough for them to have fun. I am thinking that someday we will need to get a inground pool of our own.......<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERlqkTqfVI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/hwkc8aTT_-s/s1600/IMG_2219.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERlqkTqfVI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/hwkc8aTT_-s/s320/IMG_2219.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495629227273911634" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERlpxpp0UI/AAAAAAAAAbI/TZRmKHbfFqk/s1600/IMG_2218.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERlpxpp0UI/AAAAAAAAAbI/TZRmKHbfFqk/s320/IMG_2218.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495629213675934018" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERlpjxUqgI/AAAAAAAAAbA/4C9knit_lFM/s1600/IMG_2217.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERlpjxUqgI/AAAAAAAAAbA/4C9knit_lFM/s320/IMG_2217.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495629209950005762" /></a><br />We have made it out on the boat once so far this summer. I think we have a curse on us. We have planned on going a few times and it ends up raining, not supposed to but it does. We can't wait to get out and try our new tube!<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERnQTZ6X0I/AAAAAAAAAb4/68h0XLcM4kg/s1600/IMG_2313.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERnQTZ6X0I/AAAAAAAAAb4/68h0XLcM4kg/s320/IMG_2313.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495630975083372354" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERnP3nEmmI/AAAAAAAAAbw/RSOAC72h64g/s1600/IMG_2311.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERnP3nEmmI/AAAAAAAAAbw/RSOAC72h64g/s320/IMG_2311.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495630967622376034" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERnPWafiXI/AAAAAAAAAbo/Hxs1LW9wyBo/s1600/IMG_2308.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERnPWafiXI/AAAAAAAAAbo/Hxs1LW9wyBo/s320/IMG_2308.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495630958711245170" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERnOwsS2yI/AAAAAAAAAbg/atIhunVFYO8/s1600/IMG_2304.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERnOwsS2yI/AAAAAAAAAbg/atIhunVFYO8/s320/IMG_2304.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495630948585364258" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERnOXmFBaI/AAAAAAAAAbY/F3UnpbREC4Y/s1600/IMG_2301.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TERnOXmFBaI/AAAAAAAAAbY/F3UnpbREC4Y/s320/IMG_2301.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495630941848405410" /></a><br />Well in the middle of all this we have had the house painted, Chad has gone on a river trip, dance recital, company in town, Chad at youth conference, and all the normal day to day running every where! I love summer time, but think I will be ready for school to start in a month......now to get everyone ready for that!Shelley Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04740759869247512534noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080118911904921437.post-89766414341427833742010-05-31T16:56:00.003-05:002010-05-31T18:05:09.387-05:00Cruise<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TAQyuVyxYKI/AAAAAAAAAao/FzA6OMi2qfg/s1600/DSC00096.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TAQyuVyxYKI/AAAAAAAAAao/FzA6OMi2qfg/s320/DSC00096.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477558818494832802" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TAQyuK3IuWI/AAAAAAAAAag/LuHqq9FO3Y8/s1600/DSC00046.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TAQyuK3IuWI/AAAAAAAAAag/LuHqq9FO3Y8/s320/DSC00046.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477558815560350050" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TAQyt6JufxI/AAAAAAAAAaY/gOq4nXiPK-0/s1600/DSC00039.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TAQyt6JufxI/AAAAAAAAAaY/gOq4nXiPK-0/s320/DSC00039.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477558811074920210" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TAQyDhf6vcI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/V8PXDtt2IAU/s1600/DSC00102.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TAQyDhf6vcI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/V8PXDtt2IAU/s320/DSC00102.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477558082902605250" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TAQyDqTq-rI/AAAAAAAAAaI/tkYjgTN5rz8/s1600/DSC00083.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TAQyDqTq-rI/AAAAAAAAAaI/tkYjgTN5rz8/s320/DSC00083.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477558085267159730" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TAQyDDMP7QI/AAAAAAAAAaA/tGxFUIPFKqk/s1600/DSC00048.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TAQyDDMP7QI/AAAAAAAAAaA/tGxFUIPFKqk/s320/DSC00048.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477558074767043842" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TAQyCu6kbsI/AAAAAAAAAZw/C6lapyxdPPY/s1600/DSC00002.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/TAQyCu6kbsI/AAAAAAAAAZw/C6lapyxdPPY/s320/DSC00002.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477558069324181186" /></a><br />I am finally posting about our cruise. We had such a great time and would leave today to go again if we could (except maybe bring the kids this time)It was a much need break from the craziness. I didn't change a diaper for 7 whole days!!! It was hard to leave the kids but I knew that they were in great hands. My parents were kind enough to come and stay while we took off. It was hard the first few days, I kept thinking "I don't know if I can does this" and as the end grew closer I kept thinking "another day or two wouldn't be so bad." We went to Half Moon Cay Bahamas, St Thomas, San Juan Port de Rico, and Grand Turk. All were AMAZING, all were Beatiful, and all were uniqie. We had fun parasailing with the family. There were so many, 11 to be exact, of us that they wouldn't let us all go on the same boat. We were a little bummed but still had a blast. It was so funny when I was up I could hear JD, my brother in-law, acrossed the ocean laughing and screaming. Too funny! We did alot of shopping and Chad spoiled me as usual. In San Juan we went to the rainforest and it was so beautiful. We were able to go on a nice hike and just enjoy the surroundings. Chad and I went power snorklieng in Grand Turk. We held on to these machines that had big fans that would take you around the coral reef. It was like being in a James Bond movie. It was my first time snorkeling and I had to convince myself not to have a panic attack and that I could still breath with my face in the water. I loved it though! We were able to see a 7,000 foot drop off, kind freaked me out. When we weren't out eenjoying the islands we were having a blast on the boat, eating great food, and just relaxing! I feel truley blessed that I have such wonderful family. For those who don't know we went on the trip to celebrate Chads parents 40th aniversary. All 7 kids where able to go, which is a party in itself! I realized that I didn't take as many pictures as I thought and am sad that I didn't capture everything. Guess that means I will have to go back!Shelley Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04740759869247512534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080118911904921437.post-41302126186396277362010-04-04T19:15:00.003-05:002010-04-05T08:04:40.041-05:00Happy Easter<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S7ktdYiNt2I/AAAAAAAAAZo/RqLR4orTI68/s1600/IMG_2075.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S7ktdYiNt2I/AAAAAAAAAZo/RqLR4orTI68/s320/IMG_2075.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456442406361479010" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S7ktdGfJ1-I/AAAAAAAAAZg/LmRLBC5hkBg/s1600/IMG_2079.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S7ktdGfJ1-I/AAAAAAAAAZg/LmRLBC5hkBg/s320/IMG_2079.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456442401516804066" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S7ktclgfyUI/AAAAAAAAAZY/VcDSLt4qjak/s1600/IMG_2064.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S7ktclgfyUI/AAAAAAAAAZY/VcDSLt4qjak/s320/IMG_2064.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456442392664066370" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S7ktcIF0r0I/AAAAAAAAAZQ/b0OBpBd7BvY/s1600/IMG_2070.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S7ktcIF0r0I/AAAAAAAAAZQ/b0OBpBd7BvY/s320/IMG_2070.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456442384767561538" /></a><br />Happy Easter! We had a great day spending time as a family. I love it when conference falls on Easter Sunday. The kids had fun going through their Easter baskets. The best part is that the Easter bunny brought Chase a blanket like Mom and Dads so now Chase can sleep in his bed. ( It worked last night! I hope it continues too!) The Easter bunny also brought the kids some much need summer clothes. And as usual they got spoiled by there Grandmas:) We then had a fun day of watching conference and spending time together outside. I get the "Best Mom Ever" award because when we went for our walk the babies got sunburned:( I feel horrible! Daxon got the worst of it. We were only out there for 20 min or so. Opps! guess I need to make sure we are lathered up no matter what. We barbecued Elk steaks for dinner. ALL my boys loved it. Miki actually likes it too! I love the time we get to spend all together! I am sure we looked like a parade on our walk....Me pushing the double stroller, Chad walking the dogs, Chase on his scooter, Miki on her electric scooter, and Jaidon on his 4 wheeler. I guess it was more of a walk for Mom and Dad and ride for the kids. <br />XXXXOOOOO'sShelley Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04740759869247512534noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080118911904921437.post-37016099188436051542010-03-21T14:51:00.000-05:002010-03-21T14:52:04.850-05:00<div><embed src="http://widget-91.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=2954361355587011985&site=widget-91.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2954361355587011985&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-91.slide.com/p1/2954361355587011985/bb_t043_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2954361355587011985&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-91.slide.com/p2/2954361355587011985/bb_t043_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2954361355587011985&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-91.slide.com/p4/2954361355587011985/bb_t043_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>Shelley Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04740759869247512534noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080118911904921437.post-64558735103868464502010-03-10T19:01:00.003-06:002010-03-10T19:34:37.580-06:00Happy Birthday Chase!!!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S5hCdNBIICI/AAAAAAAAAZI/V2SkKQtp3CY/s1600-h/IMG_1993.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S5hCdNBIICI/AAAAAAAAAZI/V2SkKQtp3CY/s320/IMG_1993.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447176818782642210" /></a> <br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S5hCcmzcy7I/AAAAAAAAAZA/d_Gw2lt4EgA/s1600-h/IMG_1991.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S5hCcmzcy7I/AAAAAAAAAZA/d_Gw2lt4EgA/s320/IMG_1991.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447176808524729266" /></a> He is ready for the Elk Hunt :)<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S5hCcCjycOI/AAAAAAAAAY4/uCCzYASxTsk/s1600-h/IMG_1984.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S5hCcCjycOI/AAAAAAAAAY4/uCCzYASxTsk/s320/IMG_1984.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447176798795362530" /></a> Mac-n-Cheese for dinner MMMMMMMM<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S5hCb-qHt-I/AAAAAAAAAYw/2p2gbIGaz5A/s1600-h/IMG_1979.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px;text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S5hCb-qHt-I/AAAAAAAAAYw/2p2gbIGaz5A/s320/IMG_1979.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447176797748180962" /></a> Gingerbread Man Cake<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S5hCbTMvl1I/AAAAAAAAAYo/cP7fnxzgSsA/s1600-h/IMG_1978.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/S5hCbTMvl1I/AAAAAAAAAYo/cP7fnxzgSsA/s320/IMG_1978.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447176786082240338" /></a><br />I can't believe that my Chase is 4!!!! He is such a funny boy and makes me laugh every single day several times. You never know what story he is going to tell you. He makes messes faster then I can keep up! He is such a loving boy and always gives me big hugs and kisses, which I couldn't live without. This is the boy who, just yesterday, I had to explain that we can not stand on the bathroom sink and aim for the toilet when going to the bathroom. His response was "Yes I can. I can make it." He can do anything, just ask him :) I love that he LOVES his hair and won't let his dad cut it. I love that he sneaks into the bottom of my bed and sleeps, so I don't even know he is there. Apparently our covers are more comfy and we should trade him beds. He is so excited to be 4 and come October be going on the elk hunt with big brother and Dad. Chase hardly has clothes on and would prefer to be in his underpants. We have made progress and now we wear jammies 50% of the time. I love that when we get out of the car on Sundays he runs in the house yelling "Comfy Clothes Time." We are so lucky to have him in our family!

I having thinking about doing this just about every day and some how it doesn't get done. I then realized that I could save it as a draft if I don't have time all at once to finish. How cool is that! I know that I am a little slow, but I am blaming it on having 5 children! So life is crazy as ever but that is just the way things are around the Shelley house. We were able to go home for Christmas. It was so fun to see everyone and hang out. Breslynn and Daxon both decided to get teeth while we were there so that made things fun. One of the main reasons we went out was because my sister had her baby. Koen was born a little early so we weren't able to be there the day he was born. I don't think my sister wanted to wait for me. I am pretty sure she was glad to not be pregnant and hold that beautiful boy! We were sure glad to meet him! I now understand how mean I have been for not living close to family. I miss that baby boy sooooo much! I am trying to get her to move out here. We will see if I work my magic:) We informed everyone that we will NOT be coming out next year:( It is Chad's turn to take call. He has been really lucky that his Partners have been really understanding. So everyone is welcome to come to Missouri!!!!<br />We have had a yucky winter so far. We are hoping that it is done but not holding our breath. When we got back from Utah the kids had 1 full day of school on Tuesday and then on Wednesday they let out early due to the EXTREME cold. It was so cold the rest of the week that school was closed. It was so cold, -20 or less with the wind chill that they were worried about the buses running!

</div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Miki turned 10 this week!!! She is such a <span style="font-size: large;">sweet heart</span> and I don't know what I would do without her. It was a fun day at home for all of us except Daddy (he had to work). The kids had their second <span style="font-size: large;">snowday</span>. Miki had mixed emotions about this....kinda happy, but sad she couldn't share her treats. We were mean and made her wait all day to open her presents. As soon as we got home from piano lessons we finally let her open her gifts. She was/is way excited to have her scooter. It is a electric one that she can try and keep up with Jaidon in the back yard. I told Chad that we just need a track back there now:) She is so excited to be in the <span style="font-size: large;">"double digits"</span> and is already counting down the time left before she can drive!!! I am sooo not ready for that! Miki still <span style="font-size: large;">LOVES</span> to dance and her Friday nights are spent at the dance studio. She is there from 4:30 till 8:45 pm. When I asked if she liked it or if it was to much she looked at me like I had four eyes :) I guess that means she likes it! She also started piano this fall and is doing great. I am way happy that someone is getting use out of our piano. I am so proud of her and so greatful for all that she does for me. Miki is so thoughtful and is always helping me out. She has turned into quite the <span style="font-size: large;">little mommy</span> to the twins and some days she is the reason that I don't go completly crazy. Thinking back over the past 10 years and I am amazed at how fast time has gone and want the next 10 to sloooow down. <span style="font-size: large;">Happy Birthday Princess</span>!!!</span>Shelley Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04740759869247512534noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080118911904921437.post-48339669287911499862009-11-01T17:36:00.000-06:002009-11-01T17:36:31.122-06:00Happy Halloween<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/Su4VNgrM5fI/AAAAAAAAAV4/-y217rNVCks/s1600-h/IMG_1586.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9X4fj7QfYo/Su4VNgrM5fI/AAAAAAAAAV4/-y217rNVCks/s320/IMG_1586.JPG" vr="true" /></a>Miki's witch pumpkin<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Happy Halloween! Well we surrvived! I have always known that I did not want to be a single parent and I still feel this way after the past week or so. We have been running crazy around here. I don't know why I act like this is something new, but this week was a little bit crazy. The big kids did not have school on friday so we finaly went and got our pumpkins. We had been waiting for a time that dad could come with us, but that turned out to be impossible!!! Thank goodness there is a apple orchard right outside our neighborhood that has good pumpkins (over priced, but still good). It was well worth the convience of it! I was able to take them on the way to drop Chase off at preschool. This worked out well, babies stayed in the car and there wasn't enough time to change your mind a thousand times. With Chad off helping some friends put a new roof on I was left to carve the pumpkins, did I mention that Chad was gone....SO in the moments that the babies where content we worked on them. I must say I am rather happy with how they turned out. Saturday was full of excitement as we waited for the Trunk or Treat at the Church. Chad was gone all afternoon with the young men on the boat. They are crazy!!! They had fun and were back on time, I think Chad knew I would have killed him he he wasn't :) We had a great time at the church and then made it home to go trick or treating in our neighborhood. I think the best part was waking up this morning and having the extra hour because of the time change. I really needed it!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here are some new pictures of the babies. They turned 7 months yesterday! I can't believe how big they are getting. They are so much fun! I am not going to lie, it still is VERY challenging, but what do you do. Breslynn and Daxon have started noticing each other and it is so fun to watch. They will laugh, crawl and play together. Daxon thinks it is fun to lay on top of his sister, most of the time she doesn't care. Daxon is crawling everywhere and Bres is a little slower, but she keeps up! Daxon is also pulling up and cruising along furniture. The bumps and bruises have begun :) Breslynn is my easy going, talkative little girl. She is deffently very vocal and just babbles all day long. She laughs at me every time I try to get her to say "MAMAMAMA". I don't know why she thinks it is sooo funny. I just sit back and think of how lucky I am to have 2 babies learning and growing at the same time. It is so fun to see their little personalities come out. I swear Heavenly Father likes to send me babies with a little extra personality just for fun. No teeth, yet thank goodness but I am sure they are on their way.....fun for me! </span><br />

DADDY AND JAIDON WERE SUCCESSFUL IN 2009!!!!<br />
<br />
So I logged on to update the blog and I found this lovely picture! Chad and Jaidon had a blast. They were able to go out to Southern Utah for 9 days and hunt the whole time. All the Shelley Boys were able to go have their "manly" time :) I was home with the rest of the crew! Chad was lucky that my sister was able to come out for a week. I was sure glad to see her on Tuesday when I picked her up. Chad had left the Thursday before! She helped me a TON! We had alot of fun and we both did more shopping then we had in along time. I was sure glad to have my boys home and listen to Jaidon tell me all his stories. I asked him if he heard a lot of naughty words and his eyes lit-up and said "YES":) At least this year he is old enough to know not to repeat them. He hasn't done anything yet and blamed it on Uncle Choc, but I am sure there is still time for that. I am so glad they were able to go and spend that time with family. Miki and I are starting to plan what we are going to do when ALL the boys go and it is just us girls. I can promise you it will not be somewhere on a cold mountain where we don't get to shower for days!!!Shelley Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04740759869247512534noreply@blogger.com1
