I caught her sitting on a chair with a squirt bottle trying to make it squirt (with the nozzle pointed at her face). And when she was finally able to make it squirt, she'd end up squirting herself in the face and then laugh - repeating that process.

Abby is Funny!

Only a Mother's Phrase
"Isaac! Stop licking the garbage can!"
I sure didn't wake up this morning thinking I would be saying those words.

Trip to Utah (06-03-09 to 06-08-09)
We took a drive down to Utah for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary in June and these are the some of the pictures we took.
We drove the first day to La Grande, OR and stayed in a hotel. Then the second day we stopped in Boise to check out their Zoo. What did I think...."eh, Point Defiance is better".
Quincy in some tunnel thing.
Isaac in the same tunnel thing.
Quincy and Isaac pretending to be eggs in a giant nest.
Weren't very many animals, so we decided to ride on the fake ones.
In a little hut.
Driving the Jeep.
All tuckered out from the heat and the Zoo.
((Have I mentioned that they are best buds? Same color shirt, sleeping the same, relaxing and watching the movie the same. It used to be that Isaac had to do everything Quincy did, but now the competition has even out a bit and Quincy occasionally wants what Isaac has or does. - It's cute when you look back at it.))
We stayed with our GREAT friends the Mohlmans, who happened to be re-roofing the weekend we were there, so all the boys got to work!
Steve, Jason, and Steve's little brother, Kevin
Quincy and Isaac LOVE Clara (a.k.a. Claya).
Isaac and Clara were born one month apart.
Random pictures we took while at the Salt Lake Temple grounds.
(Quincy is such a poser!)

I'm Back!!
...hopefully.
I finally feel myself again!! I haven't hardly even been on the internet the last 7 months, but only to quickly check the most important e-mails. Jason has taken the kids -Abby too! - to see his mom and dad today, so I have a few hours to get caught up on the last 7 months of life. ;o) (By the way, it is REALLY difficult resisting the urge to just catch up on friends and families' blogs rather than my own, but I'll try to persevere.)
So in my last post I mentioned that I was suffering from depression, so I guess I'll start there - where I left off - and give you the low down. Ever since my teenage years, I think I have suffered with different bouts of depression. I didn't really realize it was depression when I was younger and therefore dealt with it in ways I now wish I could take back. Once Jason and I got married, I just attributed it to early years of marriage. While living in Utah I kept "blaming" the newlywededness (if that's even a word), but saw many different counselors for my own depression. I was even at one point diagnosed with "a flare of OCD" and was put on Prozac. The doctor did say that a lot of people tend to have "flares of OCD," so I thought my "flare" to be trivial and just laughed it off. I took the medication, but after I started feeling better I took myself off of the medication (without Dr. consent) thinking that it was only masking the "real" issue - you know, the newlywededness. ;o) While off the medication, I was convinced that it wasn't a ME problem, but that it was a WE problem! Long story short, I finally realized, through lots of reading (check out the chapter 17 of The Ultimate Career, by Daryl Hoole) and research...and time, that it IS mostly a me problem and that taking medication for this illness/problem/disease (which ever category you like) isn't really a bad thing. In fact it's no more different than someone who has epilepsy or heartburn and takes medication to help stifle the symptoms.
Since Abby was born, I have been seeing a psychiatrist who agreed that I do have OCD tendencies and that I also have generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and am now on Lexapro. This has made a huge improvement and plan to continue taking this medication as long as it keeps my "flares" in check.
All this new knowledge on top of having a new baby and what I believe to be the hardest stages of parenthood.
Wooh! Now on with the more fun, less depressing stuff!!

I know it's been over a month and a half since I've last posted anything - and man are things piling up! I've been dealing with a lot of stuff the last little while (i.e. new baby, new life with new baby, depression, Quincy starting school, etc.). I know it's boring and maybe a little disappointing when you come here to see the latest and greatest of the Hart family, but hang in there, I'll be back at it again...some day.
