update

Right now blogger hates me. I've been trying to add pictures from our recent adventures up North for a week now and all it does is give me a never ending loading sign. So we are doing well. Welcoming happily the cooler days we are having squished inbetween the really hot ones.
Daniel has started Joy School. There are 3 other little kids in his group and he loves it. Sadly he is the little trouble maker and the only one that has to sit in "the grey" chair which is basically time out. We are daily working on not hitting and fighting with friends. Its not that he is trying to be mean and hurt them he just really likes to play rough. Put I'm assured that he is a good sharer and helps clean up just a little violent. He is growing up so fast and I can't believe how much he has changed. He is dead set on marrying MaKayla his best friend. Don't worry its not till after his mission and they are going to get married in the Temple even if she doesn't want to.
Miss Maggie has changed the most and continues to change daily. She is ALL GIRL. She loves shoes and that is normally the first thing she will bring me in the morning to put on. She carries around a little red first aide kit bag like its a purse. She LOVES babies. She always says "oh Baby" in a high pitched shriek. Her current vocabulary includes, hi, up, bubbles, baby, ball, brober (brother) Dada, momm, no, wov you (I love you). She is constantly going. Her morning routine is to go from cupboard to cupboard emptying out everything. She will start in the kitchen and empty out all the art supplies then after I get after her for doing that she moves to the bathroom and removes all my pads and tampons, then to their room to take a few books off the shelf and suck on Daniels b and then to her bathroom to empty the cupboard and drawers she can reach. She never stops and has an attitude. She also doesn't like it when David and I hug. She must think he is hurting me because she starts crying and screaming like really crying and hard as soon as he hugs me then stops as soon as he pulls away. She is currently into climbing and fell off the kitchen table landing head first on the tile. Don't worry she didn't learn and was right back up on the chair later that day. She is not my child that way. I've always been cautious and I still am and I think she is here to teach me to relax. She also is a big tease. She loves to pick on the older kids too. She steals binkies right out of their mouths and makes them cry. She is kind of a bully but a sweet sassy one. She loves going outside every time I open the door she screams to remind me not to forget her. She loves Daniel and he really is such a great older brother. He takes really good care of her but he does like to tackle her too.
David is doing awesome with his new job. He is the Director of operations for the gyms down here and he is always busy and doing different things every day. They are getting ready to move a gym to a new location and reopen it next week so he's been busy ordering TVs, renting U Hauls and tomorrow will be moving equipment. He is also busy with Elders Quorum visiting families and attending early morning meetings on Sunday. I'm surviving, I miss home at least weekly but I'm getting better. I have a fun group of friends and we do a lot of fun activities. We have book club and I'd really like to start a bunco group. We will see how that works out. I've got a lot on my plate with Playgroup each week and my house and kids.

Over all we love it here. We know this is where we are supposed to be and that Heavenly Father is very aware of our family and our needs. We are blessed and that is the one thing I need to focus on the most.
