~Mosher/Priest Christmas~

Nana and Papa Mosher came over and visited for the afternoon. This was the first time they had seen little Peanut since he has been born. Of course he was the hit of the party. LOL...Nana could not get enough of him. :):) They brought the kids their gifts and visited. They loved opening presents and got a lot of great stuff from them. Cailan got two adorable hats, a scarf, a hand knitted sweater. Brandon got some snow gear. It is so nice to spend the holidays with those you love the most.

~Sills/Priest Christmas~

Well another Christmas has passed....we had soooo much fun watching the kids open their gifts. Cailan was soooo precious this year. She knew what it all meant from the tree to making cookies for Santa. My parents came and stayed the night. Nana & Papa Priest came over and opened gifts with the kids. It was so special to have our newest Priest addition with us this year. He of course had no clue what was going on but he loves to stare at the Christmas tree. We are so thankful for our families and our beautiful children. I truly know what the meaning of Christmas is and it is 4 words....Darren, Brandon, Cailan & Dylan. Merry Christmas to you all and may you have the happiest of New years to come. xoxo The Priest Family. :)

~Bath time with Sissy~

Cailan wanted to take a bath with her brother but she was so excited she forgot to take her diaper off. She is sooooo good with him and just loves to hug & kiss him all the time. She was laying on the floor with him the other day and he started to get fussy so she tried to breast feed him. LOL...she knows that is what comforts him...what a good girl I have.

~Oh Christmas Tree...Oh Christmas Tree~

We took the kids and went and got the tree today. We had so much fun...Cailan was running through the tree farm and laughing. We came home and put some Christmas music on and decorated it as the snow fell. We are so happy and thankful that we have a new little gift to celebrate with this year....Dylan Cyrus!! He is such an angel and we all just love him more everyday. We want to say to our family who live far away that we love and miss you all and wish we could be together for the holidays. Please know that you are in our hearts and we will think of you. We hope you enjoy the pictures. Love to you all....Merry Christmas!!! xoxo

~Christmas came early~

It is with great pleasure that Darren and I announce the birth of our son Dylan Cyrus Priest. He was born on October 25th at 10:37am weighing 5lbs. 9ozs. 19" long. He came 5 weeks early so we had to stay a little longer in the hospital. He is doing well and is up to 6 lbs. right now. He has really completed our family and we love to watch Brandon and Cailan bond with him. We feel very blessed to have 3 beautiful children and we look forward to watching them grow. I hope you enjoy the pictures we have posted. To all our family and friends...Happy Thanksgiving to you all.!!! xoxo

~My boys got their Moose~

Well...........it was an exciting night last night here. My boys got their Moose finally. It weighed in at roughly 670lbs. They were so excited and happy to have gotten one. It was a very special time as Darren, Darren's dad and Brandon got to do this together. Three generations of Priest "Oh MY" LOL....but they are having a blast and spending quality time together so that is all that matters. So here are the pictures from their hunt. Happy Fall

~Apple Orchard with Nana & Papa Sills~

My parents took Cailan to the Apple Orchard and she fell in LOVE with this kitten. My mom said after she saw this kitty she did not want to pick any apples. LOL....She had a good time and Mom and Dad bought her a little pumpkin to carve when Brandon has his pumpkin carving party next month.

~31 Week appt.~

Well my 31 week appt. went well. Have gained 17 lbs. so far and baby is looking great!! Passed my glucose test and now we are just weeks away. I will be induced as my sciatica is getting worse. All blood work came back fine and now just waiting for this little guy to make his appearance. Putting his crib together and finishing his room next week. We are getting so excited!! Can't wait for everyone to meet him. I am hoping Miss C. will love him and not treat him like one of her babies and throw him on the floor. LOL.....well go back in another two weeks. So...........that is it for now. This was a picture Brandon took of us. Darren looks scared to death. LOL.....Love to you all! xoxo

~I have been so bad~

Well I am such a slacker lately with my blog so I thought I would give a little update on us.

First: Brandon started school and loves it, he also started soccer practice and he loves that too. He has been playing since Kindergarten. He had to go to the Dr. last week because he was having pain in his ankle. We thought it was either sprained or broken well come to find out he has a arch deformity on his right foot so he has to wear a special arch support when he plays. He said it feels much better with the support in his shoe. Brandon and his father are getting ready to go on their moose hunt up north. Papa Priest got a moose permit so they will be gone. I told Darren I hope this baby does not come early. LOL... so they are getting really excited about that. What is better then a bunch of guys doing guy stuff.

Second: Miss Cailan is growing up so fast and I just can't believe she will be 3 in March. She is still working on the potty training it is a work in progress. She know what to do but forgets sometimes. She is going to be a Autumn fairy for Halloween so she has already been wearing it around the house. She is talking up a storm and her favorite thing lately is anything "Dora". She is such a mommies girl and I love it!! We decorated for Halloween this week and went and got Mums and put them on the front porch and she says "oooooooo pretty" she is so cute.

Third: Baby Dylan is growing away...we are in the final stretch and will be having him the week of November 15th. We are so excited and can't wait to see him. Brandon can't wait to have a baby to cuddle as his sister has outgrown that stage. When he tries to cuddle her she looks at him and says "STOP" and hits him....she has her days when she wants to He is sooo excited to be having a little brother he can teach things to. I have a Dr.s appt. on Thurs so I will post my update and some pics. then.

~Happy Fall to our family and friends~

~SHE DID IT....SHE DID IT!!!~

Well Miss Cailan for the last two days has pooped and peed on the potty. She was so proud of herself. She started doing it when we were at my parents for the weekend. I could not beleive it and I started crying (must be the pregnancy hormones) LOL....so everytime we get done we do the potty dance and do high five and she loves it. I know it will take some time for her to catch on but atleast I know she has figured out what that big white thing is in the bathroom. LOL....I will keep you all posted!! xoxo

~Calm before the storm~

This sky was so freaky... I had to post again.....looks like "war of the worlds" It was so hot and humid and the storm after this was unbelievable!!!

~A love only a Papa can have for his girl~

~Dinner with Nana & Grampy~

We took my grandparents out for dinner at Chardonnay's which is one of my favorite places to eat when I go. We had such a good time and it was so nice to spend time with them. I miss my family so much when I don't see them everyday. The kids were so good and Cailan was giving Nana big kisses it was so cute......even had the pink lipstick on her lips to prove it, like I did when I was little. I am so glad that my grandmother is able to know my children and see them grow. I had so much fun with my Aunt and cousin, they are more like my best friends and my family how can it get any better. You can trust them with your life and know they will LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY!!!! I can't imagine my life without them in it. I truly believe that family is sooooooooo important and that you should not sweat the small stuff...life is too short. Tell them "you love them everyday".....

~Baby Dylan~

Well Baby Dylan is growing strong....I went and saw family in Mass for a long weekend and my cousins MIL owns her own u/s company so she gave me one. So here are some pictures of our little man. What a miracle to watch this little being grow and know that in a matter of weeks we will be holding him in our arms. I can't wait to kiss that sweet face!!!! Jessica is making me a personalized dvd so when she is done editing it I will post the video of it.!!!! xoxoxo

~My Mud-Running Boys~

Can I just tell you they had so much fun. I love seeing them spending time together doing these things. They got 1st place in the tough truck competition and won $100.00 and second in the mud run. The weather was Ok...they did have a really bad thunderstorm but nothing will stop my boys from going in the mud. LOL......Brandon blew the motor in his truck so now he has a blazer they are going to rebuild for Sept. mud run. Darren's blazer is still running. It amazes me after the beating it has taken since high school..I can vouch for that one.!! (huh Dad. Priest)? LOL...you have the gray hair to show for it. ha ha....well here are the pictures from their weekend. I am so proud of them and for Darren in instilling into Brandon "It does not matter if you win, it is that we had a good time" he is such a good DAD!!!! Thank you honey for being there for him..he looks up to you soooo much!!!! 143
