taylor

went to class late because he needed to take a neb. since we have been here he has had to take them almost everyday and there are some days that he takes 2. all the more reson for him to love seattle area. after class he and cole went to turtle bay to work on thier project for their six sigma class. they got done early which was an answer to my prayer. put brennan to sleep and then played with brooke so i could finish cinnamon rolls for his class at 330. got out of class an hour and a half early and came home to an empty house. talked with greg several times as they usually do because one has to go do something so they call back and so it goes. nade the kids laugh while i made dinner. we then played 2 games of settlers and he won the second.

got the most amazing night sleep. made breakfast for the kids and i. while brooke finished her bottle brennan and i sang songs and he did the actions. read book after book that brennan brought me to read to them. made birthday cards with brennan while brooke took a nap. now i am starting to watch bannoch on thursdays too so he came just as i need to start making the cinnamon rolls. i need to get a package in the mail before 230,give the boys a nap and finish the cinnamon rolls ... i was thinking and thinking how all this was going to happen and thats when taylor called to say he was on his way home. i am more and more gratful my heavenly father knows me and watches out for me. he does give me challeneges but there is always a way to overcome yet he make me work for it to make me stronger. i know he answers prayers but apon our faithfulness. after both kids were awake we went on a walk with richelle, coles wife, to foodland and we decided to do dinner together.

brennan

he is getting better and better at talking. he still is stubborn and will only say something once just to let us know he can but what he says is clearer and clearer everyday. he says words that we have no idea he knew such as grey. he loves animals and his favorite book right now is about a sea turtle and his adventures with his sea friends. it is an extremely colorful book and fun to look at so i can stand to read it 5 times if not more with him taking his turn. when bannock came all brennan wanted to do was wrestle but that is the last thing bannock wanted. brennan then decided to see if brooke was game. that was a negative too. he has been mr. aggressive this past week. after his nap he was so happy to go on a walk. he asks about 10 times a day for a walk even if that means to take the trash out. he has become very particular about what he wants to eat and when he wants to eat it. he didnt agree with pork chops for dinner so he pushed his plate a way and then pushed his chair away from the table. he will be super hungry in the morning because i dont make seperate dishes for kids and adults. he can eat what we eat. he put up a fight for about an hour before he fell asleep because there were people over.

brooke

slept through the night with out a beep ... not even for her pacifier. her and brennan are alot alike but there is one differnec that i have noticed so far and that is ... she doesnt like to be held or cuddled when falling asleep. i can put her in bed and out she goes on her own. it make it nice when im trying to do 5 things at once. today she dicovered that she can scream ... not a cry type scream ... just a loud happy squeal. as we were eating dinner richelle asked if we could turn on american idol because she is a big fan, the only one i know that actually votes. as one of the performaces was going on brooke tried her best to mimic the sound ... taylors reaction was ... you need some work girl. one day she will make her dada proud. tonight she didnt want to eat solid food so im hoping she will sleep good.
