Fun fall updates

We've been keeping plenty busy! Kynzley has this week off from extra curricular's, but we start right back up next week! She finished up gymnastics strong - she's pretty confident with her cartwheel :), and ended her cooking class feeling like a professional chef! She was pretty pumped to bring home a cook book on the last night of class, now we can recreate all the yummy things she made! Next on her agenda is swimming, science class and basketball.
Kynzley is still going strong in school! She LOVES to learn and is great at taking in information. We had conferences a couple weeks ago and we were told all good things - of course! She tends to be ahead of most of her peers. She is great with numbers and loves to do (simple) math. At times she sneaks in math when we least expect it - adding things that we are talking about in our conversations. Right now she is SUPER into reading and letters! During conferences her teacher noted that Kynzley whizzed through her numbers, letters, shapes, colors, ect. so they thought they would try something different and random - letter sounds and what things start with - she got it! The other morning during breakfast she sounded out the letters on her cereal box, she got the word all on her own! Go Kynzley!

All bundled up ready to wait for the school bus

Benton is growing and growing fast (enter mixed emotions!). He's four months old going on 16. He is definitely a different baby than Kynzley was. She was super scheduled and LLLLOOOVVEEEDDDD sleep - still does. She depended on it and still does. Benton on the other hand - sleeps great at night, but is afraid he will miss out on something during the day if he closes his eyes. He's super nosy! Has to be included in everything and if he's not he lets you know how he feels. He has sat in the "big kid" part of the stroller for a while now - had to move him because if he sat in the infant part he screamed because he couldn't see. Now he doesn't make a peep. He's still a mommy's boy and its still BIG TIME! He's getting better with daddy, but has his moments. I know its mean (very mean) but I do (occasionally) get joy when daddy has Benton and Benton is screaming and he hands him over, Benton looks at daddy and laughs. A moment of 'I got what I wanted - sucker!' Lol! He's enjoying tummy time more, I think it's because he can roll so he can get out of it when he feels like it not when the 'rentals' tell him it's okay. He adores his sister and will be chasing after her in no time!!!

I was in the process of doing my hair, must have looked scary because every time I turned and looked at him this was the expression I got - ha!

Sister making him pretty already!

This is where he likes to be, in his mommy's arms

For real? The 'big kid' part of the stroller?! Stop growing so fast!!!!

What? I'm just hanging out in the swing the way I want too. Nope, not safe!

MY LOVES!!!!!!!!!!
