Fourth of July

Despite the 115 degree weather we had a great Fourth of July weekend. We were lucky enough to escape the heat on Saturday and spend the day up in the mountains at a friend's cabin. We relaxed, enjoyed the cool weather, and rode around the trails in the Rhino. The girls loved it!

On Monday morning we started the day going to our ward pancake breakfast. Then the kids had a bike parade with their decorated bikes and tossed some water balloons. The majority of the day was spent packing and getting our house ready to move, but that evening we enjoyed a wonderful BBQ with friends. Out of the 4 families in attendence, there were 10 little girls, 0 little boys. They played outside in the water, we ate yummy treats, and ended the night with fireworks.

A Quick Trip to Utah

My grandfather, James Martin Priest, passed away June 9th. So we decided to make a quick trip to Utah for the funeral and to see my grandma and family. It was a sad occassion, as my grandpa was a really great man and we will miss him. But it was really nice to see my family, and Utah was absolutely gorgeous with the 75 degree weather and green mountains. Here are some pictures from the trip.

Hailey and Lindsay want to know the name of their baby sister. This will not greatly sway our decision in the end, but just for fun vote which baby girl name you like the best.

Field Trip to the Zoo

Hailey's preschool class had a field trip to the zoo this week. The weather was perfect and the animals were active.

Lindsay had a great time too.

Three Girls and a MiniVan - Every Dad's Dream

It has been confirmed that the world is not ready for a son of Alex to roam the world and wreak havoc. Due to the potential creation of a super man child, like unto the warriors of Sparta only spoken of in myth, a higher power has intervened again and another princess will show up at the Hassell Castle in late August.

#3 caused a potential seating problem in the Jeep and so we had to part ways. We now have plenty of extra seats for more to come.

If we are lucky, Hailey will get to drive this to High School in 2023.
