Does he know it's HOT outside?

Here is my cute little guy who just HAD to wear the beanie all over the house... thankfully it was bedtime so this phase didn't have to last ALL day...

I've Been Tagged!

Ok, I was tagged and this one is from my friend Carlee... I thought it would take me weeks to fill this one out, but it was surprisingly fun. :)

i am: who I am.
i think: too much---
i know: that God is always with me and that Joel loves me.
i want: to be a good wife, mom, friend, & sister
i have: been equipped with the tools God wants to use in my life- I just have to find them!
i wish: I would live everyday with the freedom that God desires me to have.
i hate: my summer wardrobe.
i miss: the fun, carefree days of college
i fear: some days- everything; other days- nothing
i feel: a pit in my stomach over the life decisions we have been making lately.
i hear: a fan blowing! it's just getting hot here in the IE
i smell: nothing- my allergies have gotten the best of me and I have a stuffy nose!
i crave: consistency and stability- our life is in transistion and has been a bit crazy.
i search: for a new home loan. :)
i wonder: what my kids will be like when they are adults.
i regret: well, I try not to think of things that I can not change!
i love: my God, my family (immediate and extended), my girlfriends, my Peditrician, sleeping in my own bed, and dark chocolate...
i ache: when I feel misunderstood.
i care: about my parenting. I take it very seriously- maybe too seriously.
i always: sleep on the side of the bed furthest from the door. Joel gets to fend-off robbers!
i am not: as service oriented as I would like to be.
i believe: in my husband and kids.
i dance: to High School Musical 2 soundtrack- Landon LOVES it.
i sing: poorly, but love it.
i cry: more than I should.
i don't always: remember to brush the kid's teeth. YUCK!
i fight: when it's something I feel strongly about.
i write: because I can type as fast as my mind thinks...
i never: put away Joel's laundry!
i listen: to Christian radio and Praise Baby CDs
i need: nothing. Amen!
i am happy about: learning contentment--then happiness is relative. (as said by Carlee- Amen, sister).

SO-- Cara, Summer, Jessica, Sara and Aly you have all been tagged!

1st Week in Valencia

We spent this last week in Valencia while Joel officially started working in his new territory. The week went GREAT! The boys and I were out and about everyday and were at the hotel for pool time and nap time only. We saw many friends, drove around to look at houses, got library cards, went to the mall and even had an ice cream break! Here's a slideshow of the week...
