NEW MEMBER OF THE FAMILY!

On June 5th we welcomed into our home the newest member of our family, Sir Maximus Von Boscoe Bootsnatcher! Our three footed puppy was only 3.5lbs when we got him at six weeks old. He just celebrated his 3month birthday and weighs in at a whopping 20 pounds. This bullpup monstrula loves chips, the kids, and eating the toilet paper.
He has a one of a kind personality and loves to go for rides in the car. He is great fun and we love having him in our home.

SUNSHINE!!

FINALLY, today we seen sunshine. Here are a few fun pictures of Tanner mastering the art of blowing bubbles. We had to take advantage of the sun because who knows when we will see it again. Oh and don't mind the dirty face.

EASTER 2010

This year the easter bunny was very good to the kids. They all got a new outfit, shoes, zuzu pets(however you spell it),lots of candy and more candy. We spent the day with family and had an easter egg hunt. All of the kids got an egg that looks like a golf ball in memory of grandma Ardell. FUN FUN FUN!!!

HALLOWEEN 2009

The kids had a great time trick or treating this year and recieved lots of yummy goodies!

MOMMY'S NOT LOOKING!!!

I told Tanner to go fix some dinner in his kitchen( he has a fisher price kitchen) and then the house got quiet. Walking into MY kitchen this is what I found, Tanner fixing soup with a spoon and a measuring cup. Ooops, my fault, I did tell him to go fix dinner.

FINALLY, MY OWN GARDEN!

For a long time now I have been begging my husband to till a garden spot and he finally did. I am so excited. Even though a garden is a lot of work, there is nothing that tastes better than vegetables you have grown on your own.

TANNER GETS HIS BIG BOY BED!

Tanner doesn't look very excited in this picture, but I think he is because he hasn't gotten off of the bed yet.

Greg working on finishing the bed.

Daddy's little helper!

This project has been a lot of fun for Greg and he did a great job! The bed will eventually have drawers on the side and a book shelf at the head of the bed. I can't wait to see it finished. For now, Tanner will be able to sleep(hopefully) in his big boy bed.

CRAZY HAIR DAY AT PRESCHOOL!

Hunter had crazy hair day at preschool on Thursday. He calls this his homawk. Because he had crazy hair, Tanner decided he should have crazy hair too! He likes to mimic his big brother, after all they are partners in crime.

Pictures of Shelbie's big day!

Shelbie had a great birthday(even if there was a mishap with the cake). She got spoiled rotten as usual and had lots of fun. Takara came in the with the cake and all of the candles were lit. Shelbie was behind her trying to get in front of the cake so she could blow out the candles and make her birthday wish, and down the cake went. Here are the before and after pictures of the upside down cake. Because it landed upside down the frosting put the candles out. The other pictures are of Shelbie with all of her presents and one of her opening her very own scentsy pot.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELBIE!!!

Today is Shelbie's birthday, she is turning 9 on the 9th in 2009. She is such a good girl and is always very helpful. She is one of those kids that you never have to worry about. She loves to read, draw, and play with her younger brothers.

Shelbie we are so proud of you and love you so much! We hope that you have a terrific birthday!

Love mom, dad, Hunter, and Tanner

Hello again!!

For the past couple of weeks someone has kindly reminded me that it is time to update my blog(you know who you are), so here it is. Just like everyone else we had a busy but great holiday season. For New years we went to my mom and dad's and had great food, games, and company. Tanner also got tubes in his ears on New years eve and is feeling like a new kid. He is trying to do the potty training thing and is the boss of the house. Hunter is enjoying preschool and is constantly keeping us laughing with the things he says. Shelbie loves school and loves to read. She is clogging again this year and is getting pretty good at it. Greg is working alot but has enjoyed a couple of hunting trips with friends. As for me, my year is starting out great. My health is much better and I am starting to feel human again. Although I am not sure about looking human again. Now we are just trying to keep up with everyday life and enjoying every minute.

Last week we went with grandma Lu and grandpa Greg over to Star Valley to hunt for Christmas trees. The kids had a blast hiking and sliding down the hills on their bottoms. The trees turned out beautiful. We also had a chance to visit with great grandpa. This is one of my little family's favorite traditions.

TOO MANY GIRLS!!!!

Did you think that I was posting Halloween pictures for the second time, well think again?

We have a bunch of family at our house tonight(mostly girls). Poor Tanner had to play dress up with Shelbie and my nieces Takara and Ciara. Then they nabbed Hunter. At least he only had to be a frog.

Happy Thanksgiving to all from the Priestley's!

Helping Mom Do Laundry!

Tanner decided he would help me do laundry last week and this is what happened. He climbed into the dryer, so of course I had to grab the camera. Hunter saw the fun and joined in too!

BUSTED!!!

I followed the toilet paper trail and this is what I found. Tanner trying to put all of the paper back onto the roll. What a stink! It's a good thing we love him.
