~Nana's Jewels~..and her diamond is Cailan Marie :)

Cailan went with her daddy and visited Nana and Papa Priest today....Nana gave her a bunch of jewels...or as Cailan likes to call them "crystal diamonds"........so here she is modeling all her "crystal diamonds" for us..and even the dog got some. However, she would not share with her baby brother!!!...Thank you Nana she loves you soooooo very much and her Papa too!!! I don't know what we would do without you.

~Summer time~

Having the best summer.....full of fun and sun!! The humidity has been awful but thank god for Nana and Papa Priest pool....Our niece Morgan has been here for two weeks and we have had sooo much fun!!! Here are some pictures of our outings..hope you enjoy!! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!!! Love to you all xoxo The Priest Family :)

~Papa's Beef-Stew~

The kids love Papa Priest beef-stew. Dylan ate it for the first time the other night and as you can tell by the picture he LOVES it!!!!.....

The kids are doing great! Brandon is now offcially a eighth grader and did great on his report card, all A's + B's. He is excited that summer time has come and now he will live in the pool all summer.

Cailan is growing so big! She just her adnoids taken out and we had a really tough road with a lot of tears, but she is much better and is healing more and more everyday.

Dylan is just a little ham, he defintely is a go getter and does not stop all day...makes for a very tired mama somedays but he is sooooooooooooooo worth it. He is 22lbs. and 26" long.....it is funny as his sister is 3 and she weighs 33 lbs...I feel he will surpass her very soon...LOL!!!

We are getting ready for my parents big 4th of July party down to the farm and can't wait to see all the family that will be traveling many miles to be with us. It will be a great time and nice to be together as a family.

Darren and I celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary this Sunday and my parents are going to take the kids as our gift so we can have a weekend to ourselves. We soo need it!!......I am so lucky that hubby and I have stayed together through thick and thin and we do grow stronger everyday. Noone said marriage was easy you have to work at it every single day to make it grow stronger. I have my parents to thank for that and they taught me that love knows no boundaries when you are with the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. They should know they have been married 38 years and still love eachother very much!!! Thanks Mom and Dad love you!!!

I hope you all have a joyous fourth of July and enjoy the summer!!! Love The Priest Clan...Darren, Lisa, Brandon, Cailan and Baby Dylan :)

~Miss C and Peanut~

They have become so close....she loves him so much and they find so much joy in being together...he is really starting to understand we are his family and these little people around him are his big brother and big sister....it is sooo fun to watch them together and interact with each other. We are so blessed and thankful for our family and no money in the world would I trade for each day I have with my babies and my husband.
