Whoa I have a lot to say

May has been CRAZY already. We have taken 2 trips and had 2 birthdays and mothers day. I have blogged about them individually so you will need to keep reading, if you want to read about them.

Troy is home

We went to Boise to see my little brother he just came home from his mission in Virginia. It was so good to see him, I can't believe it has already been 2 years since he has been gone. He sure has grown up. While we were there Brandon and Troy played Super Mario Brothers Wii and beat the entire game together from start to finish with every single coin found and every alternate ending (It was flippin' SWEET!!!). They had a ton of fun with that and we also introduced him to the movie Avatar, and a few new games that we have. While we were leaving my family got a few pictures with him but none of them were on our camera because we had already packed our camera so hopefully I can put some on later when I get them from my parents but while we were in Boise we got to go see my grandparents and I did get a picture of them with my boys it was so god to see them and for them to meet Gray!!

26th in Utah

Brandon turned 26 on the 8th We decided to go to Utah to visit our good friends the Kearls. We have been wanting to go see them before we move and it just seemed perfect to go see them the weekend of Brandon's birthday because he wasn't working again. We had such a wonderful time with them. They have a daughter that is 6 months younger than Krew we always joke that they are going to get married but secretly I really do want it to happen I know the chance of them getting married is very slim but it would be really cool. They were so cute together!! Krew was always trying to hold her hand and any time she would leave the room Krew would say "where Sophie go?" He just always wanted to be near her it was adorable. On Saturday Brandon's birthday We went to the park and Brandon and Bryson played ping pong a lot. They tried to see how long they could just pass it back and forth to each other and they got to 1,343 times that is pretty much AMAZING. I was impressed. they also played a few other out doors games I can;t remember what they were called. We decided to go out to dinner for Brandons birthday to Olive Garden (Brandon was craving their stuffed mushrooms.) then we came home and had cake and ice cream and Brandon opened up my gift to him. (two tickets to go see Beauty and the Beast at the playmill in West Yellowstone we are very excited to go) Krew sang happy birthday really loud to him while we were all singing but when I tried to get him singing it on video he wouldn't sing very loud but he did a great job. I feel so blessed to have Brandon as my husband he is everything to me. I can't imagine my life with out him, I love EVERYTHING about him. Happy birthday hun I'm so glad you were born 26 years ago.

Mothers day was the next day but we were driving home most of that day so we really didn't do much, but Brandon got me Chocolates and we pre-ordered mario galaxy 2 and decided that was going to be our mothers/fathers day gift to each other and we are VERY excited about it!!

Here are a few pictures of that weekend, I don't know why we didn't take any pictures of Bryson and Tara but we really appreciated them having us come. And we wish we could have more Slearl nights.

Here is a story about Krew and Sophie. while we were at the Park Krew and Sophie found a little curb to sit down on and they just looked like they were sittinging there chatting it up then Krew moved closer to Sophie and tried to give her a kiss, but she wouldn't let him she just stuck out her finger and had him kiss her finger haha it was really cute! and these next three pictures show it.

Krew and the birthday boy!!

Yeah Brandon didn't have candles I forgot them at home so he just pretended to blow them out way to be baby!!

Happy Cinco de Mayo

I had the BEST birthday ever thanks to my wonderful amazing husband. He didn't have to work on my birthday which was so nice he let me sleep in and made me a great breakfast Bacon and sausage egg mcmuffins mmmmm they were gooooood. Then he got a babysitter to watch Krew an he took me on a treasure hunt all around Rexburg since this is our last birthdays here. He wrote poems for the clues and I had to drive to the exact place or know the right answer to get a gift it was soooooo sweet and a ton of fun. Here are the poems he wrote for each one.

Happy Birthday my Lovely, Happy Birthday my Sweet

Today for your birthday I made a treasure hunt Treat

At each location you will find a small gift

You’d better be thorough and you’d better be swift.

We will go on a journey that might be a pain

We will skip down the road they call memory lane.

We have lived quite a while in this quaint little city

So now we’ll test your memory of every itty bitty.

The first destination you couldn’t have missed

It’s a place where a “Beauty” and a “Beast” first kissed.

Congratulations on solving your first little clue

Now eat your chocolate while the next you pursue.

It lies in a place that is quite simple and plain

In a tree by the place we made out in the rain.

You might notice a trend of places spent kissin’

The next one is harder so be sure to listen.

Located in the boonies where there is no king

Look under the board of one popular swing.

We’ve lived at “Greenbrier”, we’ve lived at “The Village”

Pirates of real estate many apartments we’ve pillaged.

Pistachios curbed hunger and crystal light thirst

This is the apartment you and I did live first.

During each pregnancy you might have felt queasy

Sorry if you think that this treasure hunt is cheesy.

Your next destination is a wonderful place

in which we first saw our second son’s face.

This is no emergency so don’t ask them what for...

You might try the side by the post partum door.

Once upon a time there was a romantic surprise

Engaged we had lunch of unusual size.

The place that I bought it is the place you must go

What was the meal? Now that you must know.

For if you do miss just one little thing

I’m sorry my sweetie the fat lady will sing.

No more clues will be had, no more gifts will be sent

That’s right unless you order one hundred percent!

(We forgot to get a picture here but Brandon took me out to wingers for lunch I had to order a sticky finger wrap and extra fries with ranch and creamy amazing on the side. With out me knowing Brandon gave the next clue to the waiter and told him that if I ordered correctly to put the clue in my meal so when he gave me my meal I looked down and a piece of paper was hanging our of my wrap that was really cool.)

Congrats! I’m surprised that you’ve made it this far

The next is a place where you go in your car.

The entertainment’s a film, the floor is quite rocky

Up are the stars, we mostly played tonsil hockey!

Happy Birthday my Lovely, Happy Birthday my Sweet

Today for your birthday we did a treasure hunt Treat

I hope that you liked it, hope it gave you a lift

The truth is the memories are the most special gift.

Though this journey in Rexburg must come to a close

One thing I can tell you and this thing I knows

I love you with a love that no body can sever

I'll love you till someday... and on for forever!

We went home and relaxed for most of the day then we had a few friends over for ice cream cake and to watch lost

Here I am with my 2 favorite little boys in the whole wide world!!

Krew and I were very excited for the ice cream cake it was so hard to resist!!

Thanks to my amazing husband for giving me such a wonderful 24th birthday. I love you so much hun!

I also took pictures of Gray on my birthday because he turned 1 month old 2 ays before here are a few cute picture I took of him.

My boys

I LOVE having two boys! It's so much fun Krew has been such an AMAZING big brother! It's really cute to see him with Gray. Just today Gray started crying and Krew ran to him and hugged him saying "what's wrong Gray" then he turned to me and said "oh I kiss" then turned to Gray and gave him a big kiss. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful sweet boys, I'm so glad I'm their mother.

Here they are together with the shirts on that I made for them.

Here are my 3 FAVORITE boys snuggling up together. This was the day that Brandon Graduated it was a very long day and Krew and Gray were so tired that they just snuggled up to daddy.

The other day Brandon decided to buzz his own hair, once he was done Krew wanted to buzz his hair so I put a really long attachment on and let him "buzz" his own hair.

Krew has been trying SO hard to jump he could get one foot off the ground but never both feet and yesterday he came up to Brandon and I and said "I jump" and he really jumped he got both feet off the floor. I'm so proud of my little guy. He worked so hard and he finally got it !!

This is what Brandon teaches Krew when I'm not around.

3 Weeks Old!!!

Announcing Barton Graham Sloan

My sister made this announcement for us and it turned out PERFECTLY!! We Love our little guy and Feel so blessed to have him come into our family!!

Hey everyone, so a lot of you have been wondering how Gray has been doing and want some new pictures... where he doesn't look like an alien. So we took him through his first photo shoot and we think that we got some pretty darn cute ones. But before we show them to you I wanted to share a few funny stories that have recently taken place in the Sloan household.

"I Turn"

So the other day Diedre was using her breast pump on the couch (well on her breast but she was sitting on the couch) and Krew came out of his room and seeing what his mommy was doing he lifted up his shirt and said, "I Turn"!!! It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my life.

"Mommy Need Potty"

So just today Diedre was in the kitchen making some biscuits for dinner when she turned to me and said, "honey my stomach doesn't feel very good" and

without skipping a beat Krew said, "Mommy Need Potty" and then let out a big old fart!! It was stinking hilarious.

Now Officially Announcing Barton Graham Sloan:

My sister made this announcement for us and it turned out PERFECTLY!! We Love our little guy and Feel so blessed to have him come into our family!!

Graduation!

Brandon is now Graduated!!! (He graduated on the 10th I know it's been a few weeks, I'm a slacker I'm sorry)I can't believe it!! It's so weird that this chapter of our life is over. We have been at BYU Idaho for so long!! It's been 5 years We are really going to miss this place when we move in July. I am so proud of Brandon he has worked so hard. I felt like he was constantly studying and it shows with his grades, he graduated with a 3.94 for the semester and a 3.93 over all. I can't express how proud I am of brandon and all that he has accomplished!! Both my mom and Brandon's mom came for his Graduation and to welcome Gray into this world. It was so nice to have them both here. Krew was so excited to have them here, I think he gets really bored with just playing with me all day so when he was able to play with both of his Grandmas I think he was ecstatic!! to distinguish them he would call Brandon's mom Ga ma daddy and my mom Ga ma mommy (in my family all the grand kids call my mom Oma but I think it just confused him.) We really appreciate all that they did for us and for sacrificing time to come. Thanks again mom and mom for coming we all love you both VERY much!!

Here are a few pictures of his graduation. I forgot to charge our battery in our camera and I went to take pictures of Brandon as he was walking across the stage and getting his diploma and my battery died I was so upset I had a perfect shot and it died!! OH I was so MAD!! so we had to stage a picture of him going down the stairs.
