If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently, it becomes special because you have made it so.

Big girls don't cry!

If you haven't heard already... WE ARE MOVING AGAIN!! Brad left today for Utah with his brother Travis and all our stuff. Yes you heard me right... I'm moving back to the one thing i hate most SNOW! Brad decided that he wanted to go back to school for the next 7 years and become an orthodontist! So our amazing friend Melanie worked with one of the admissions people at USU and got Brad into fall semester, 2 weeks before school starts. I'm really excited for Brad and his decision to go back to school, but I am very sad to leave North Carolina. I am going to miss all the friends I have made in just this short amount of time, my ward... they were amazing, but most of all Lisa and Travis and their kids. I'm hoping one day we can come back to this beautiful place, but for now having Brad go back to school is going to be a blessing for our family. Moving back to Utah has actually been a really hard decision for me...Im sure I have about drowned Brad with my tears and worries. I'm just going to have to put all my trust in the Lord, that if I do my part, he will bless my family.
Saying goodbye to the boys!

Goofy pictures are always a MUST HAVE
WHY!! Why do my kids always loose the front of their hair! I mean... seriously, are ALL my children going to have mullets
Dimples! I LOVE THEM!
Lily and her best friend Kailyn. Kailyn is so sweet to lily. Even when Lily bosses her around... I know, my kid is a punk! She will play with Lily till they both PASS OUT! She is going to miss her sooo much. Love you K!

My Little Princess! Oh yeah and for all those who think that maybe lily isn't ready to go potty in the toilet........ Listen to this!

Lily: "Hey Dad... if you take me to build-a-bear, I MIGHT go potty in the toilet"

Note: these are the exact words out of my DARLING but MANIPULATIVE daughter's mouth!
