Saturday we decided to spend a beach day with the Lawrence’s, Williams, Taggart’s, and O’Malley’s. When we first got to the beach we noticed 3 dolphins playing just past the waves. The dolphins stayed around us for a good 30 minutes. It was beautiful!!! We had so much fun with everyone! But really I am going to miss the Lawrence’s SO much! They really helped me a ton when Deric was on deployment! I hope they have an amazing time in Austin Texas. beach 001 beach 002 beach 003 beach 005 beach 006 beach 008 beach 009 beach 010 beach 013 beach 014beach 015

we have a new home!!!!

We drove to Phoenix on Saturday morning and spent the rest of the afternoon looking at apartments in the Glendale, Peoria and Scottsdale areas!
We fell in love with a couple and after some pro and con discussion we decided on the Pillar at Scottsdale Townhomes.
They are beautiful!!! 3 levels, two bedrooms, two baths, awesome pool area, indoor basketball court, lots of grassy areas to play with Diesel, and it just feels like home!!! This is our specific layout. The very 1st floor is actually a garage, which is super nice! we get direct access from our garage to our home! no unloading groceries in the crazy Arizona heat! we move in august 27th.  Its very bittersweet! I can't wait to move into this new home and start our life pretty much fresh in a new city. But I am very much dreading leaving Tustin and all the AMAZING people that we have met here!

Independence Day!

One of my favorite holidays! I love the patriotism every where you look and the feeling of everyone being united on this one day!

We spent the morning with a portion of our ward at an amazing families house for a waffle breakfast and then set off for San Diego to hang out with my brother and his family!

We ate way too much food, played some fun games at a local carnival, played on the slip side, ate again, and watched fireworks. It was so nice to spend the day with the people I care about most! Family! just wish all of my family could have been together!

It was a very HOTT day but I am fairly certain everyone including Thor and Diesel had a blast!

TMI part 6

and hopefully the last TMI! 
Deric had is completely awkward test last week and passed with more than fly colors. Nothing is wrong with him AT all. The doctor was a little surprised and excited to tell me that his little men most definitely know how to swim! normal sperm count is around 2-3 million but Derics were at 4 million. 
So that leaves the issue of not getting pregnant on me!!! After all the test results and everything we have been through the past 2 months the diagnoses is finally Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome.  Thanks to Wikapedia I know what it is! Here is a little info on POCS
Poly cystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common female endocrine disorders affecting approximately 5%-10% of women of reproductive age (12–45 years old) and is thought to be one of the leading causes of female sub fertility.[1][2][3][4]
The principal features are obesity, anovulation (resulting in irregular menstruation) or amenorrhea, acne, and excessive amounts or effects of androgenic (masculinizing) hormones. The symptoms and severity of the syndrome vary greatly among women. While the causes are unknown, insulin resistance, diabetes, and obesity are all strongly correlated with PCOS.
I know that was kind of a lot for one sitting. But the my doctor thinks the reason for my POCS is not the right balance of hormones. So next month I will start Clomid on day 5 of cycle and be tracking everything. Clomid will regulate my ovulation and my hormones, but the chances of getting multiples is very high. We are hoping for just one baby at a time! But will be more than happy with what ever we are given!
Hopefully in a month or two we will have wonder news to share!!!
Thank you to everyone who has been praying on our behalf it has been greatly appreciated. We are excited for the new journey ahead and can't wait to bring some babies into this world!!!!!

I hear this song a lot in the car and it gets me crying every time. I am not one to openly show my emotions if I can handle it and this song makes me a liar. If heaven wasn't so far away I would be there everyday to hang out with my grandpa and do a puzzle with him!!!!! and I could hang out with my grandpa and grandma Wilson that I have never met!

TMI..Part 5

I believe this is part 5!
I had my last doctors appointment yesterday and it went great. All my tests results have come back normal. One of my blood labs came back a little high, which my doctor said could be the cause of this all, but before she ruled that the answer, she wants to have Deric tested. Sorry hun. He has to go get tested tomorrow and hopefully the results will be back by next Monday.
If everything is normal with him, then we will proceed forward with putting me on Chlomid.
Chlomid pretty much just helps stimulate my ovulation! and she is hoping that it will be the answer to our problems! I am hoping and praying that this simple pill will be the answer!!

shoe review!!

I was lucky enough to do a shoe review for one of my favorite companies!!!! I ordered a pair of their awesome boots like 2 years ago ( still LOVE them) and was able to choose a pair of shoes to do a review on! I chose the Simple shoe take on eleastic!

I love the concept behind these shoes! The soles of these shoes are recycled and most of the shoe is biodegradable. Plus they have this super cute elastic piece over the top of the shoe and the elastic is different colors of purple which just happens to be one of my favorite colors to wear!
I have really bad plantar fascists so comfort and support are HUGE to me when I look at buying shoes. Not only are these shoes super cute and I get LOADS of compliments but they also are very supportive. They even lasted the Disneyland test. My feet didn't hurt at all after walking around Disneyland for 8 hours! That's huge! Most of my shoes don't pass that test!
I took them camping two weekends ago and they got super dirty. I took a wash cloth and a little shout and the stains came right out! Couldn't have been happier!!!
The only down fall is that my feet get stinky after I wear them, but I have solved that problem with wearing little tiny socks.
All in all I LOVE these shoes! They are totally worth buying. They are SUPER adorable and most of all have the support we all need. and another upside to this company is that the price you see when you are checking out is the price you pay for the shoe and shipping already included!!! LOVE IT!

visit http://www.natureshop.com/Products/products.asp?ProductID=1789 They have LOADS of wonderful items for sale and a lot of super cute shoes!
I would post pictures of me wearing these adorable shoes, but no my camera has been in the shop for the past month.
