"Keep Moving Forward"

Have you ever seen the movie "Meet the Robinson's"? It is one of my favorite movies. I love it because it teaches that no matter what happened in the past you need to "keep moving forward". Walt Disney said this. What a brilliant and smart man he was. I have been thinking a lot about this quote because there is a lot of things that have happened in my past that I would really like to let go of. Many of you know what they are. I just feel like I am pulling a lot of people down when I talk about my feelings because I seem so negative but in reality it is very cleansing for me to talk to people about how I feel.


I don't know how to express myself and focus on the positive. I am trying to work on it and I have come to realize that it is a concious effort that needs to be made every morning of every day or I start to bring myself and everyone around me down. I don't mean to, it just seems to happen. I feel like I push everyone away because I don't want to do that to them.


A little over a year ago I went out with some friends to just get ice cream. That was one of the best days of my life because we just got to sit and talk and get things that were bugging us out in the open. Husbands just don't understand why we talk so much but I really think that it is a kind of therapy. Sometimes husbands just don't fill that need. Girl talk is essential to being healthy psychologically!!

Jess in One-Year-Old!!!


I CANNOT believe that it has been a year since our baby was born!!!! Look how cute she is!! :) She is SOOO independant and wanting to do things on her own already. She also wants to be just like her sisters. She copies everything they do. I am so lucky to be a mom to such wonderful girls!!!








Preschool Starts Again!!





I can't believe how big my girls are getting!!! Taeli and Shea started school on Aug. 18 and are loving everyday. Shea is so happy to be counted among the big kids. It is very strange to have only one at home three days a week.

Day at the beach....


With all of the packing and moving and running around it was nice to get out and enjoy the beach at Santa Cruz Boardwalk. I am getting used to being here. Sometimes I think I would miss it if we make it back to Utah or Idaho. Check out the video of Taeli it is very cute!!!!
