Catching up... Kids Birthdays and First day of School!

So the summer is always busy... Kenley and Kaelyn have birthdays just 11 days apart in July, then Ken and Kyson's birthdays are just 5 days apart in August... it's hard to stay on top of posting!

I will start with Kenley turning 4. She is still only 1-3% for height and weight, still our super girly-girl and wants about every toy she sees that has to do with dolls, dressing up, Frozen, or in general if it's pink or purple, she will go for that too. She has to match (one day when I went to get the mail 2 blocks away she wanted to go, but she said "but mom I don't match." Oh boy. It is super cute though, and she really does dress herself well. Her and Kaelyn have become better friends but also show a good amount of sibling rivalry and both have to have what the other has at all times... so it makes for some fun times. Because of her slow growth, the Dr has put her through more testing to see what the cause is, but so far the other Dr's are just saying "she's just little." She started Preschool with the same teacher Kyson had (Miss Kathrine) and LOVES it.

Kaelyn turned 2 in July and is 94% for height and 55% for weight, so she and Kenley can share a lot of their clothes. In public we get so many questions if they are twins (which is ironic as I had always wanted twins) as they are so close in size. It's fun in a way, but almost eerie as they are 2 years apart. She is really picking up with her language, wants to do and be everywhere her brother or sister are 100% of the time, which can drive them bonkers, but she is trying to go with the flow. She has her favorite blanket that she has to have for comfort to fall asleep and can sure throw a fit if things don't go as she wants them. Definitely strong willed.

Kyson turned 6 in August and started 1st grade. He is becoming a smart boy and loves reading, playing video games (Lego, Minecraft, etc), and is still really into building legos, and running around. He is always up for an adventure outside like camping, the park, or biking. He is super helpful and is for the most part a good listener when it comes to mom and dad asking him to do something, which is wonderful. Kyson wanted to go to Legoland for his birthday in California, but since I am pregnant, we postponed that, and he settled for Chuck E Cheese. We will still take them when I'm not so pregnant :o).  They have enjoyed the past several birthdays celebrating with their cousins, but 2 weeks ago my brother and their family moved back to UT, so it will be much quieter around birthday times and we will really miss having them around!
