Who is right?

Josh and I have been having this very light argument about what chores are okay for women to do. When he was unable to mow the lawn we paid Chaz (his brother) do it. I mowed it once just because I was sick of seeing it not nice. When Josh came home, he got upset because he said that mowing the lawn is not for women to do. Now I can understand that it is more of a man job, but I enjoy doing it because I can be doing something while Tyler can play outside. Now our question is does mowing a lawn and pulling weeds (yard work) fall under the same category? In other words if a women shouldn't be mowing the lawn should she be pulling weeds, adjusting sprinklers, edging the lawn...? Give us your complete and honest opinion, because Josh totally thinks he is right and I know that I am right. (He said I couldn't put my opinion because then everyone would be on my side.)

Us at the Beach

I feel like a complainer after that last post. How embarassing. I guess I just needed to vent, but I should written it then erased it. Anyways. We went to the beach last week when it was 105 and at first elle wasn't so sure, but then she didn't want to leave. She kept crawling/walking right down into the waves. She was probably watching Tyler. That kid is crazy. He lets the waves throw him everywhere. There were a couple of times when he went under and scared me half to death. He didn't care and just laughed. I feel very blessed for everything that I have and especially my family. Josh is so great and I love him.

April

Well since a month has past and I have neglected my blog once again I have a ton to update.This month Tyler started preschool. I dropped him off, he gave me a hug and ran off. That was it. Then it was Josh's turn to drop him off. Tyler got there and ran off again.But Josh was so sad to see Tyler old enough to leave. Sometimes he is more emotional then me. But that's okay because I love him for it. I painted my bedroom/bathroom, got new bedroom furniture, moved out my old stuff, and put the new stuff together, sealed all of our tile grout, washed down our exterior walls, dug all of the weeds, mowed the lawn, broke up cardboard... and other normal male projects. All because I have no patience when Josh is not capable and has no time. His knee is getting much better, but then he got this awful stuff flue that has lasted 2 weeks now. Maybe this is all a plan, to see how much I will do on my own.
Elle is doing so much better. She really is close to walking now. Now taking a couple steps all the time. She talks up a baby storm and she really loves to sing songs and do the hand actions to them.
Josh and I are going on a little weekend cruise the first weekend of June and then a 7 day one in Sept. If anyone wants to go on the Sept. one. We got an awesome deal!
We also got our house toilet papered by some girls whose husbands were away. Hmm, I wonder who that could have been. Wish I could have been helping. I am really looking forward to doing that with my kids.
I don't like musicals too much. I feel that I don't understand what is going on and they are just singing the entire time. Josh loves them so we go; however, Wicked is so good that this was our 2nd time going. Well worth the money. You should go if you haven't.

Josh and Erika

For those who I have not seen for a long time I thought that I should write a little about our family. Josh and I were married Feb. 22,2003 and are as happy as can be...really! We have 2 kids, Tyler (3) and Elle (14 mos). We will have more but taking a break. We are hopefully less then 2 weeks away from moving to our brand spankin' new house in Corona. Josh is doing real estate loans and I am doing real estate. We feel that the Lord has blessed us so much to have a lovely family, a home (soon), and a career that we just love and find fascinating.
