Aug 8th

we are back. it has been a while due to the fact that we were computerless for about a month because the motherbaord died. we took it in and it had to be shipped back to the mainland to be worked on and then shipped back. it works great now ... taylor is back at work and school so the computer goes with him at 9ish and returns between 11:30 and midnight. i decided to do it all from my phone because there is so much i am missing.

t- had to wake up and take a nebulizer at 4am because they gave him the wrong solution and it is short acting so after 6 hors he feels like he is breathing through a cofee stirer. it gives him the gitters so it took a bit before he could go back to sleep but he was out until almost 9 when he showered and headed off to a training for a research group he is part of ... neuroscience and they will be publishing an article soon that will have his name on as one of the contributors. he then had class until 2:30 and continued on to work until 6 when he snuck a bit to eat with the family and then off to do homework. he is part a huge research project supposed to be done in eygpt but with everything that has happened there there are doing what they can from here. his task is to build a web site for the charity group they are doing the research for. he is learning alot because he new nothing to start. our friend tyler is a tutor for all the computer classes so thats who he goes to and they love spending the time sharing passions. he will be ther until the lab closes at 11pm.

a- woke up with brooke at 2:30am and when she finally went back to sleep at 5 so did i for an hour when brennan woke me up. she has started waking up at this same time the last couple nights and she has been good about going back to bed within a decent time but she wouldnt have it this morning. prepared for my little preschool class i have started for 2-3 year olds in our ward. there are 10 of them so i have divided it into 2 sections ... one monday and wednesday and the other is tuesday thursday. we talked about the letter k and the number 2 today. we made kites and crowns while reading a k story and played 2 games. today was a rough day for several of them. 2 of them had siblings added to their family over the weekend another missed a day and didnt want to come back today another had an early morning but by the end they didnt want to leave so we did something right. made lunch and then played with the kids outside before they fell asleep. i worked on little books for the preschool kids while they were asleep and organized myself foe a cleaning check we have on saturday. made dinner and then played outside again with my kids and 2 others joined us while their mom made dinner. it was fun had by all ... rolling races, running races, summersalts, princess dances, hide and seek, bike ridding ... just as brooke started to get tired we walked over to say goodnight to taylor. put brooke to bed and then watched a movie with brennan.

b- woke up asking for a banana as usual. he ate breakfast and then played by himself as i tried to sneek in a few more zzzz before brooke was up. when it was time for the other kids to come for school he opened the door for everyone. he was done wear his crown about half way through the class so he put it on my head. i forgot about it until someone came over and asked about it. loved his kite and wanted to play outside with it before eating. lately i give him a nap only if he falls asleep on his own and since brooke was out and his friend who we were watch was out he decided sleeping was a good idea because mom is boring. he needed it because he didnt wake up until 4:45. not eating his lunch made his super hungry for dinner which i couldnt make fast enough for him. adored the fact that dad got to eat with us. wanted to walk with him to the lab so we went later. he will be up for atleast another hour because of his nap.

b- might be having a growth spurt because he isnt sleeping through the night and is eating more than usual. loves playing and wrestling with her brother. her only defence as of now is to pull his hair. she made him cry for the first time a week ago. i was a bad mom and laughed along with telling her to keep it up. he teases her so much but there will be one day that she can tease back and i will laugh then too. its funny to watch the other boys brennans age who have sister and they play with dolls and dress up like princesses but brooke plays with cars and balls or wrestles. she slept for the most part during preschool and then was the happiest girl on the planet playing outside. she puts every tiny thing in her mouth for a taste test ... yuck. i end up holding her most of the time because there is too many things but she loves being outside and watching the older kids. taylor put her in the window the other day when she would stop crying and just as brennan did ... stood there with a huge smile for as long as we let him. they want to be big too fast. she stands on her own for about 20 sec until she realizes she no one is helping her so she sits down. she loves stand up but as for monuvering she is content to crawl. she started crawling at the begining of june when the computer died. she also sprouted 2 teeth around then too. i keep waiting for more but nothing yet.

i am going to do my best at daily updates again. as of now there will be no pics because i cant do that from my phone. boring i know.
