Tagged.....


I am......... so tired! Bryan gets up at 5:30 am, and he is ready to go for the day! No rest for the weary.

I think.......about weird stuff, and then I role play it out in my head. Makes for a really busy day.

I know....... not near as much as I did when I was 18. However, I know that the Gospel is true and it brings us happiness. I know that Heavenly Father loves us and wants us to return to him. I know that I am very blessed, and that I still have lots to learn.
I want........ A house and a mini van!!!! That's right, a mini van! It has become my ideal car. I want to laugh so hard that my stomach hurts. I want to be super on top of things and have it all together, and I always want Ice Cream!

I have........ a husband and 2 kids. We all seem to keep each other busy in one way or another. I have many other things but those are of the greatest importance.

I wish....I wasn't so uptight about little silly things! I wish that I got paid for staying home with the kids- not just in blessings, but with real cash. I wish we could go to my mom's for dinner every night. I wish I had a nanny!!!!

I hate....Making dinner!!!! I hate thinking about what to make, how to make it different from the night before... blah blah blah.

I miss.... sunlight coming through my windows, feeling the nights air on my face (perks of a basement apartment). I miss my grandparents as well, and late night walks in the summer with my girl friends.

I fear..... EVERYTHING ! You name it, I have feared it!

I feel....grateful for everything I have been blessed with.

I hear... Danny practicing the piano, the song "we thank thee, oh God for a prophet". One day I hope to play the piano as good as he does. I could listen to him all day!

I smell.....Dirty diapers- time to take the garbage out!

I search.....for things that I put down 2 minutes ago. I have no memory of what I put where. I also search for my cell phone all the time- drives me crazy!
I wonder... When Bryan will be ready to be potty trained. I know this sounds crazy- but he tells me before he has to go.

I regret....not being more involved during my school years, and being afraid to try.

I love... my family! I would be so lost with out them. I love seeing my babies hand prints on the windows and the mirrors. I love the holidays. I love the changing of the seasons. I love family gatherings- and can find any excuse to have one!

I care ....way to much about things I have no control over.

I always... try to have some what of a good attitude about things. I want to be positive in this negative world.

I am not .... nice. I used to be- but not any more. I just say it how it is- no fluff!

I believe.... that I do have a purpose. I use to feel like I was here to do something spectacular. Then one day I figured out that "spectacular" thing was to be the best mom I could be and teach my children all that I could the best I could.

I dance....with all my heart! I love dancing!!!! I love letting loose and being crazy. I loved to see the looks on peoples face when I would invite them to my belly dancing performances. I loved to clog, and country dance. One of these days when we have time Cesar and I are going to get some Latin dancing in as well.

I sing.... off key. I try not to sing to loud in church cause Cesar and Danny get embarrassed. I like to sing to Bryan.. he thinks I'm good. I like to make up words to songs and when no one is home.... I sing opera!

I don't always... have patience. I think when I got married I left my "patience" in Mexico on my honeymoon. Maybe I should go back to try to find it. I'm all for that!

I write... my grocery list, and every once in a while a list of "things to do".

I win.... usually never! I did win $50 at my high school graduation party and a bike at the fun run but pretty sure that is about it!

I lose... 10 lbs gain 10 lbs. it's a never ending battle! I also lose my cell phone and my keys a lot.

I never.... want to run a marathon. I'm so with Heidi on this one.

I listen.... to others when they confide in me with their "stuff". I listen to Cesar when he comes home from work to hear how his day was, I listen to Danny when he gets home from school to learn about all the exciting things in fifth grade, and I listen to Bryan jabber to try to figure out what he is saying. I love silence. I usually don't turn on the radio or listen to music unless I am by my self, then it is just noise.

I'm scared of...bears, the unknown, something tragic happening to my family.

I read... magazines. That is all I have time for these days. An article here, an article there. The last book I read was, I am a mother. It was really good and I recommend it to any one that is a mother.
I am happy about.... completing projects, making a really good dessert, seeing Danny and Bryan do things that make them happy, feeling like I accomplished alot during Bryan's nap time..... oh and most of all, I am happy about being able to have the time to shave my legs in the shower occasionally!
I am tagging.....no one. I think all that people that have looked at this have all ready done it!

This one is for you!!!!! (Kati and Heidi)

So sorry girls that you have had to look at the same post for the last 2 months! I really do want to do better. So, thanks to Kati I have these super cute pictures of Bryan. I just LOVE them! Thanks for taking them sis. I tired to pick a favorite- but I couldn't, I just loved every one. I can't believe that he is almost 18 months. His new favorite word is No and Mine- he doesn't just like to say the word No- but he prefers to scream it! So, that makes it really nice!
