The 'UBER' Update!

We're back!!! Oh how I've missed being able to update friends and family on all the exciting things happening in our lives, but don't worry you all will probably be overtaken with blog updates now! My reason for the disappearance is lack of a lap top. For the past couple of years I have been using a lap top with a cracked screen (a HUGE black and blue smudge right through the middle of the screen because of a little girl thinking it was fun to stand on it when she was little), missing keys, when in use the charger would smoke and more often than not it would fizz out in the middle of something important. I finally gave in and let Francis take it to get fixed. AMAZING!!!!! Same computer but completely brand new - love it! With that said here is the UBER update that I've been longing to post!!!!

Well, Benton is already three months old and Kynzley is back in school! Where did the summer go? Kynzley started 4K this year - one more year and she will be in full day school :( She has really been enjoying it and making a ton of new friends. She even gets to ride the school bus to school like a big kid. Mommy had a super hard time with that part, but it has been working out nicely and she enjoys the extra time with her friends. She is SUPER into crafting lately! I cannot keep up with enough glue, paper, stickers, ect. She is very creative and it's fun to see her finished products. She also likes to make books which has helped a lot with her writing. She is starting to learn to spell words which is so fun to see. Currently she is able to write the phrase 'I <3 you' buy herself and also the words mom, dad, zoo, of course Kynzley! We've been keeping busy with Kynzley between school events, a cooking class on Sundays and gymnastics of Wednesdays. She's a busy girl but we like it that way!!!

*Has slept through the night since 4 weeks old
*Hates the bottle
*Snuggles with burp clothes like his sister
*Nosy! Prefers to be carried facing out so he can see everything
*LOVES to stand and bounce
*Things we hear people say the most about Benton: -He's so pretty, -He's so alert, -His complexion is so dark and -He talks a lot
*Prefers his fingers over the nuk - does not use a nuk to sleep at night
