So if you all didn't notice by the above picture I am CRAZY about Scott! Things have been so wonderful since graduation that I can't even believe how happy we all are (granted the girls have been whinier for some reason the past few days) but I feel like I've got my life back again.
Also, I have finally given into something that I have been fighting for years. I went to my doctor right before we moved from the University, because I was having all these problems with my health. I was constantly tired, my eyes were doing weird things and I began having panic attacks. I had my blood tested, and everything was normal, and I was really frustrated! But my doctor being the smart man that he is gave me a prescription for Prozac, which is what I have been fighting. Joining the ranks of Utah, "Mormon", "Stay-at-home" moms that need an anti-depressant to get the things done that are expected of them. But my attitude has changed!
I feel like the woman that I have always wanted to be! I can't believe the difference it has made in my life, and how grateful I am for modern medicine, and the knowledge of chemical imbalances.
But most of all I am grateful to my wonderful husband who has supported me and helped me through this very hard decision that I needed to make. He has been so supportive, and wonderful to me, and I'm so grateful for the wonderful man that he is, and the greatest example he is to me, and how he helps me to do the right thing.
He is the man that makes me want to be a better person so that I can spend the rest of my life with him.
I'm also for my knowledge of Eternal Families, and for my testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and my personal relationship with Jesus Christ and His atonement so that I could get through this difficult time in my life.
And Thanks to all my friends and family that were there for me also!
I love life again, and I love being a mom again!

Day at the Beach
On Wednesday, June 10th Kimbur and I took the girls to Newport beach. Adelle managed to catch a wave; I think the girls enjoyed playing in the sand more than anything. As you can see, Lilly usually ran away from the waves.

Canada
I love my four year old. She says the funniest things. At lunch today Scott, the girls and I were talking and somehow the subject of Canada came up, and Scott mentioned Canadians. This is where the conversation went:
Adelle: Aliens?
Dad: No Canadians.
Adelle: Canaliens?
Adelle: Aliens?
Dad: No Canadians.
Adelle: Canaliens?
Some pictures
Here are the pictures from our trip. The problem with having a fast digital camera, and large memory card is that there are a lot of pictures. Also bear with me in my artistic attempts of different things.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
Happy Father's Day!
So if you haven't guessed everyone, I love country. The stories the songs tell and the wonderful messages they usually bring. I usually have at least one good crying session if I listen to a country radio station too long.
This particular song was one that did just that when I first heard it.
I would like to dedicate this song to my Dad and Husband for Father's Day. (I know it's a little late.)
One reason this song means so much to me is because I was that little girl who was playing Cinderella, as most little girls, and was looking for my Prince Charming my whole life, and how grateful I am to have found him, and that he is the father of my children.
I am also very grateful to my Dad who was my Prince Charming until Scott came along. He was the man who always knew when something was wrong, and was a great mediator, when my mom and I didn't get along. He saved me in many ways growing up, and has never been afraid to show his love for me or my siblings. These two men are my Heros and Love them very much. Happy Father's Day my two favorite men in the entire world!

Catch-up!
I'm glad to finally have a minute to get caught up on all the fabulous things that we have done for the past few months. Bear with me there are a lot of posts. I hope that more of you will enjoy now that I'm going public again. Lorena convinced me that being private has it's disadvantages and I feel like I'm losing touch with many of you because of being private. So many of you will be receiving an email with my blog update later.
We are all moved, but not settled into our new place. We have returned from California in one piece, but a little sun burned. I wish I could say the same for the car. It's not too bad, but we lost our car alarm antenna, and we discovered our tail pipe rusted and finally fell off yesterday.
This vacation was the best vacation I have ever been on and can't wait to do it again (hopefully next year)
I will have more posts about our vacation later.
Hope to hear from you all soon!

Saying Good-Bye!
May 31, 2008 was one of the hardest days of my entire life. That was the day that our little family said good-bye to some of the greatest people I have ever known. Our little community at the townhouses was the greatest experience of my life. For the first time I felt like I belonged there and loved all of my neighbors. I can't believe that we only lived there for a short nine months, but felt very close to these people. Especially Sherrie.
Sorry Sherrie if I embarrass you, but I feel truly grateful to have found such a wonderful friend. I have spent most of my life trying to find a girl friend I could count on for anything, and for one reason or another I failed to find that special someone that I could talk to about anything, could trust with my children, that would let me help her also. But I found that in Sherrie. I was able to rely on her for anything, and I like to think that she could rely on me for anything. We had multiple dinners together, FHE together, playdates, and countless hours of just talking. She is the greatest example of motherhood to me, and a woman that has her priorities straight!
I wish I had a picture of her and me together and I wish I could be clever like Lorena and Nancy. But I don't and I'm not, but I wanted to say that I love you Sherrie and I feel so privileged to call you friend.
I think for the first time in my life I can truly say that I have a best girl-friend, and hope that we can be good friends for years to come.
Anyway here are some pictures of our last Townhouse BBQ.

Thank you everyone for making our nine months in our townhouse our favorite place that we've lived so far!
Adelle's Very last dance class with Miss Kim
We were all very sad to go to this dance class, because it will probably be the last dance class with Miss Kim. We were very grateful to have found Miss Kim. She was wonderful! She was very patient with Adelle, and Adelle loves her. She is one of the best dance teachers I have ever seen. We love you Miss Kim, and will greatly miss you!
Graduation!!!!
The day finally arrived and we have made it to a Bachelor's Degree. Who knows if there is more school to come, but if there is then it will be the right thing!
WE DID IT!!!
Here are some pics

Lilly's Birthday
Lilly's Birthday was right in the Middle of Finals for Scott this year, and things were really crazy at our house. So the girls and I spent two days with my family. But before we left we had an opening presents ceremony. Here are some pictures from that.

Playing with Daddy
My girls love their Daddy! I also can't believe how strong they are. Adelle's legs are completely straight!
Adelle
For Graduating this year we all got a graduation present. Scott got a new rifle, I got a Blue topaz ring, and the girls got Littlest Pet Shops. I snapped this picture of Adelle's picnic with her dog and kitty.
Adelle Sliding Down the Flag pole at the playground
I thought I should probably get as many pictures as I can of the girls at the Playground, because we will truly miss the playground that we have spend many hours at, and I want the girls to remember the fun times we have spent there.
Jelly-Rollers
Here are my girls eating their favorite meal: Jelly Rollers. Scott discovered this and the girls love it! What you do to make these delicious rollers is you take an uncooked tortilla, cook it in olive oil and then put your favorite jelly on top. Then roll like a burrito, and enjoy!
My girls love this meal and now call Scott the King of Jelly-Rollers!
