Catch up blog...and I wish I had more to say LOL! Everything in the "Just the 6 of us" world is actually going pretty good. Markus is staying super busy with work and is gone most of the day. He told me yesterday that there has been days in the past where is hasn't seen Cade. I looked at him for a second and realized he is right. He leaves for work when Cade is sleeping and comes home some night when Cade is sleeping. Poor guy:/. Of course Markus loves his is job and we are very fortunate that he has a good one! Colton is doing really well in school always busy and spends most of his time telling me he can not wait to be grown up! I wish he would slow down. He walk and talks like a teen. His taste buds must be changing, he eats just about anything and tries everything!!! Caleb, well he is busy too being like any other 5 year old. He is so excited to start kindergarten next year and he can not wait to ride the bus with his big brother. Video games are still his number one priority. His new thing well I guess it's not new but it's not going anywhere. He will not eat anything RED! It's hilarious:) Sydney, she is really changing. Her talking is really improving and in fact sometimes it has improved more than it should Ha! She is very into clothes, shoes, and makeup! Very girl but still has a rough side to her. I mean who wouldn't growing up with brothers;) Cade, well hmm! haha! He is like every other 2 year old. He is all over the place into EVERYTHING! He keeps me on my toes most of the day. He must be growing because he eats all the time. Favorite thing right now to chow on would have to be corn dogs and green beans with ranch LOL! What a combo?!?! I just recently had to go clothes shopping for him yet again! He went from 18 month old clothes to 2t and even some 3t shirts LOL he is a big boy:) I did break down and bought him some Nike tennis shoes which are super cute! He is has being wearing stride rite shoes his whole life and now that his foot is slimming he can actually wear other or brands. As for me I am working out every day again. Trying to get ready for swimsuit season! I went to Nordstrom Rack and did a little shopping for me:) I needed new clothes!!! I did end up finding my swimsuit there it's adorable! Its Couture! Sooo excited to wear it:) Other than that I stay busy with the kids and Markus:) Making sure everyone has what they need and our household is running. I am still on my financial freedom journey and have been doing pretty good with our budget! I slowed down on my SStarbucks and Target visits LOL!!!
Well that's pretty much it.
So done with Winter and so ready for Spring!
Later:)

Married with Children...wait...Married with 4 Children!!
Like any girl I had a BIG dream! Married, 2 kids, a boy and a girl, big white house with a white picket fence, some kind of " Mom" car in the drive way. What girl doesn't dream of that??? So 20 years later I got my dream alright! I am happily married we have 4 amazing kids, 3 boys and 1 girls, and we have white house welll kind of, its dull white rock, and picket fence, try chain length fence LOL! No I am only kidding! I love my life but is it what I had planned? Kind of...
A trip into the Life of Shannon Reagor ( once known as Shannon full of energy, fashion savvy, sports car driving Price)
Well let's see where to begin..I am mom of 4 kids yes 4 KIDS omg! I get that a lot..people look at me like I am crazy or like I am kidding! What is wrong with having 4 kids, was it planned hmmm no..but that doesn't mean that I am not totally in love with them..I AM! I also stay at home and I know what your thinking, this girl is going to go on and on and about how perfect her house is and dinner on the table at 6, everyone caught up on teeth cleaning and haircuts, dogs always at the vet on time, LOL! HA! I wish and if you ever meet someone like send her my way! SAHM is a hard job, no I don't have my kids on some perfect schedule and well is dinner on the table at 6 most of the time. Is it home cooked?? well that's a whole different story! Yes I do take my kids to the dentist and it happens if and when I bribe them well enough, and I pry their hands from the walls and drag them to the car. Our dogs well they get there when they get there..once a year for sure! This blog isn't about hating on SAHM or boring you with my non so eventful life, its just about me and who Shannon blah blah blah Price is now:) I do my best as a mom, and a wife and sometimes there isn't a whole lot left for "just me". I think that once we make a decision to be a mom and wife we devote parts of ourselves to those choices. There are days where I think about the times I could sleep in bed all day and live in my one bedroom apartment, drive my mustang. Who doesn't think of the good old days! Would I go back? Heck yes!! for about a day...or two LOL! I have changed countless dirty diapers and have had numerous cold meals, and all for what. All for my kiddos to come running into my arms with smiles on the faces and tell me how awesome I am. There is nothing more rewarding! As for being a wife, well that was a hard one for me. I was a selfish person I will admit it and when you choose to be a wife or mom you have to be self less. I couldn't imagine being with a better guy. He is my best friend and in his own little ways he lets me know how much he appreciates me! Sometimes I dont' get the hints but eventually I'll catch on;) Like today he texted me I shaved my face clean for you...hmmm OKAY??? I kinda like you all rough looking but whatever ..thanks I guess?? Like I said he makes me feel special LOL! Apparently he shaved his face clean because he thought I found him more attractive all cleaned up??
Anyway, as for me and my life right now, do I have everything down as a mom?? I prob should since I have 4 of them ...should have a 1 and 4 chance of getting it right:)! No I don't have it down yet but I am working on it. I do what I can and I actually raise our kids a lot like Markus and I were raised, we were raised different but the same in some ways and so we try to raise our kids with a little bit of both of us, if that makes sense. Now I give in a lot easier than Markus and that's really how my mom was. Its funny I will catch myself saying something or doing something that I know my mom did or even Brenda ( mother in law) told me she used to do with Markus. Then in totally shock I will shake my head and whisper OMG I am her LOL;) Just kidding!!! Do I mess up, YES, who doesn't? Are my kids happy? Well hell they better be, we spoil the crap out of them, show them as much love as we possibly can, teach them to be polite and respectful kids!
Me now versus me then....clothes? Ha what clothes, you mean those yoga pants and tanks?? My hair??well let just say it's seen better days. Make up...what is that? Getting to pee by myself ...you mean its not normal for your two year to be right there with you??? I had no clue!! Now me then, sooooo different. Clothes well I did pretty well keeping up with current fashion and shopped at the mall! Could I throw 50 bucks down on a top walk away and not think twice? You freaking betcha!!! My hair, done every 4 weeks. Make up, everyday and loved me som MAC, going pee by myself oh how I miss those days:)
Ya know the more I think about it the more I realize that no matter what I can actually still have all of the me thens. I just need to bring Shannon, full of energy fashion savvy sports car driving Price back !! Well minus the sports car driving!!! That we will glady replace SUV driving LOL!!!
Laters!!!
