Going Fast

I really need to update more.  This has been my worst year keeping up on my blog.  I am irritated at myself since I make my blog a book every year and publish it so my kids can look back at what we did.  The last 6 months have gone so fast that I can't keep up.  Aiden started 2nd grade at Clinton Elm.  He loves it, but still HATES to read.  He reads very well but gets bored fast.  Brynlee has really enjoyed watching Aiden at every recess since our backyard faces the school playground.  I have to say that I really enjoy seeing him a few times during the day and watching him play soccer with his friends.
Bryn has just been hanging out with Kynzee and me.  We do preschool on the computer.  We can't afford to put her in preschool, which is sad because she doesn't get any social interaction except for church, which is not a lot.  Bryn is still her stubborn adorable self with an attitude to prove it.  We still haven't been able to get her to say her own prayers except for maybe 5 times.  However, we have learned the more we push the more she refuses.  She loves to help me cook especially since I have been trying so many new things.
Kynzee is doing new things every day.  She can talk more and communicates very well on what she wants even if she can't say it.  She can say shoe, drink, Dora, and says go for Diego.  Dora and Diego are her favorite shows.  Those shows can occupy her for a long time.
My wonderful sister, Aimie had a beautiful baby girl on Sept 24 (which is Weston and Sharae's birthday).  She has lots of dark hair and looks quite a bit different then her other two girls.  Aimie and Aaron named her Kobi Rees Christinsen.  Such a cute name.  Aimie is coming this week for about 4 months while Aaron is deployed to the Middle East.  We are over excited.  There has never been a Halloween that we have not spent together.  Last year we went to Florida to visit her during that time.  I am glad that we are not breaking the tradition.  There will be pictures for all these events coming soon.
