Are you still my friends???

I can't be to sure if I have any blogging friends left after my ridiculously long absence...but alas I am back at it ; ).   I finally feel like I may have some more time for this blogging business!  I am telling you it is the shorter days!  It makes all the difference.

So what should I start you off with?  I don't know...but I have been in the worst mood lately.  It is getting on my nerves and I so I can only imagine how Chady feels about it.  (Well that sure was a downer to start off with...but that is what came to my brain.)

What else...well we went punkin pickin the other day and here are some pictures from this event!

The last picture is us girls with our choosen pumpkin...

Husband Showcase...

Warning....

This blog might turn into a place that I showcase my husbands amazing skills...

So I am here to present to you his second video...

It was shot this past weekend at our friends little girls 1 year birthday party.  I may be biased but if you ask me, he has got enough talent to knock your socks off ; )

Oh and I will just go ahead and tell you that our new pet is none other than...

Princess Fiona, the guinea pig.  She is cute on one hand and then a rodent on the other...hopefully I will get a picture up of her soon.  You may not believe me but I am serious, she IS cute, she has messy hair not the straight kind.

Anyway~back to the video...
I would challenge you to click the little tab at the bottom right side and bump up the quality of the video.  720p is HD but may run choppy or slow so I recommend the 480p bc it is still better quality but not as slow...your choice ; )

 

Back with a video...

Well I sure hope you weren't holding your breath waiting for my next post...lol.  I am the worst blogger in all the land.  Summer is a crazy time.  We have been having sooo much fun tho.  I will just briefly fill you in so far....


*God has done miraculous and amazing things in a family situation that has been troubling for quite a long time.
*I still haven't introduced you to our new pet.
*I maybe had or didn't have mono.  I didn't feel like I had mono...well according to some of the stories I hear.  All I know is my first test was positive and the next which was a week later was negative.  So who knows...
*We had and thoroughly enjoyed Carson's first birthday party.  She is growing up so much!
*We went to Disney World.  Stayed at the Wilderness Lodge and just had a fantastic time!  I am going to share pictures soon.


Those are the main events.  


My hubby has been aspiring to do these creative films and is really still smack in the middle of learning software and getting ideas but for fun he shot this CUTE video of sweet Carson and I will share bc I think he did an absolutely AMAZING job.

Happy to announce....

We are going to Disney World!!!

I am so pumped!

also....I got the pictures from the smash the cake session!  I love them soooo much!  There are so many good ones it will be hard to limited this post!

and big sister waiting patiently to eat some cake!  That is torture for a 3 year old!

Get ready...

for alot of pictures!  We had a blast at Darby's 3rd.  Birthday party!  Lots of things have been happening over here with the Priest family.  I can't help but sing, "I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazerene.  And wonder how he could love me a sinner condemned unclean...." He is Wonderful.  We got a new addition to the family that I hope to be introducing you to soon... but until then just hang on. : ).  Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure.

The Invites...

I thought I would share with you the invitations for the upcoming events!  I have pretty much gotten everything squared away for Darby's.  I am doing pizza and cupcakes at the park to make it as low key as possible.  I've gotten everything I need to make the cupcakes and all the party necessities so all I need to do is make the cupcakes fri night and then pick up pizza and balloons on the way.  Yay.

So if you remember way back I said that Carson and my sisters baby Claire were going to have the first birthday bash together but now that is not happening SO it will just be Carson but that is ok.  Claire still got to have a party up where my sister lives but they couldn't make it back in town for this one.  I got the invitations online here at Etsy!  of course.  I printed Darby's at kinko's but Carsons I printed at home on cardstock.

Taste of the cake...session.

Okay sorry again for the slack blogging!  I have been really busy but also I am outside so much more with this spring and summer weather.  I noticed alot of my bloggy buddies have cut back dramatically in their blogging and so I don't feel as bad ; ).  I guess until the time changes again and we are stuck inside to avoid the cold weather we just wont be writing as much! 

Exciting things are coming up!  Darby and Carson are having their birthdays!  Yay.  Darby's is this coming weekend...oh man that reminds me I better get my stuff together!  Then Carson's is the following weekend.  I'm thrilled to be celebrating my sweet girls. 

So my friend Amy has done it again....she took THE cutest pics of my babe (and my sister's babe).  We had a smash the cake session!  Here is your small taste until I get them all!  Go to her photography blog to see more!

Recently I saw the movie Avatar!  I mean I am a little behind on the times but...Oh my goodness.  I loved that movie!  I LOVED it.  So if you haven't seen it then you should. 

I didn't update on Carson when she turned 11 months!  I am so slack!  What can I say.  I will tell you though that in her 10th month she perfected the art of cruising around the furniture throughout the room.  She can clap and wave...she is still really quiet but she will say da- da and her version of ma- ma.  She is serious and if she sets out on a mission she is determined to accomplish it.  She still gets terrerized by her older sister but she LOVES her big sis Darby!  She is a cubby dub.  I she weighed 22lbs on a trip to the doc last month!  She is so sweet.

Soon I will be updating you on my 3 year old and 1 year old!  I can't believe it.
