Baby #4

Priddis Baby #4 is due to arrive sometime around January 1st!

We had an ultrasound and discovered that we are having a boy!

The search for a boy name is on....

CRAVINGS: none really except if you count frozen chocolate chips but I love and crave those even when I am not pregnant.

SICKNESS: None...don't hate me.

PHYSICALLY: Right sciatic nerve pain that is relieved when hubby does physical therapy. I received my first varicose vein on my right leg. Lucky me...Yeah so basically if it was for my right leg issues all would be wonderful!

To sum it up everything is going well!

Hawaii

What can I say. If you go to Hawaii you just have to have a good time. It really is a pessimists worst nightmare, the weather is wonderful, the ocean is just the right temperature, everyone is friendly, the food is fantastic and every picture turns out looking like a near work of art. We spent a lot of time on the beach, at Luaus, the Polynesian Cultural Center, the Temple, the Arizona Memmorial, and just hanging around the hotel. It really is the perfect place to go on vacation. I can think of a dozen things I want to do next time we go back... if we are ever blessed enough to return.

Trip to Japan

Lots of people take their kids to Disneyland for their summer vacation. Just to be different this year, we thought we'd go to Japan. Honestly though. My parents have been living in Japan for the past 3 years. We finally were able to escape for a couple weeks and make the trip out to see where they've been living all this time. What we found was a wonderful country full of wonderful people.



Mister, at the 2nd largest castle in Japan. The bottom right is the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb memorial.

Sissy got to dress up for a special photo shoot. She looked beautiful. Top right: she tried some 'special' Japanese ice cream... Poppy Seed. She also opened an oyster and found a pearl inside and held a star fish.

Bubba really like seeing the giant sea turtles. He also built an up close relationship with a capybara, and tried his luck with chop sticks.



All together we had a wonderful time in Japan and highly recommend the trip.

Summer is over, school has official started

Since school officially started on Tuesday August 9th, and my oldest is now a BIG 1st grader, that means Summer is also officially over...

I thought I would share what we did this summer. At the beginning of the summer, we sat down and made up this Summer Fun list on our chalkboard. When we accomplished one of the items we checked it off. Simple as that!
We honestly did have one of the BEST summers ever!

Lack of Posts

excuses for lack of posts....

#1 we have filled up our computer and external hard drive which means we can't upload pictures to our computer to post however, Tom can post pictures to facebook via his phone! And really who wants to read a post without pictures....BORING! Kinda like this post!

#2 Enjoying the Summer! We have been slowly checking off items from our 2011 Summer Fun list So far we have gone to the water park way to many times to count, gone to the splash park, played at the park and eaten way to many Popsicle's to count!

We have a fun summer a head of us....so if you don't hear from us often don't worry we are still around but just enjoying the summer with family and friends!
