No pictures, but a little update...

We have recently moved to a new computer, so I haven't got my picture organization figured out yet, but I will post new pics soon. These little kids change so much in two months though, I thought I better post an update:

Kate

• Cannot wait for school to start, she is counting down the days (only 1 week to go!)
• Is loving her dance class
• Helps me pick raspberries, and seriously picks about 1/4 of them. She is also very diligent about not eating too many so we can save them for jam
• Vacuums the kitchen floor regularly and recently started vacuuming her own room
• Helps me remember to get dressed each day :)
• Loves playing with her brother most of the time. They run around, laugh, play babies, and ride bikes
• Rides her bike as often as she can, especially around the block
• Is constantly writing/illustrating papers for the family. She recently mastered writing Austin, so we get papers about once a day of all the names in our family written along with pictures of each. I will definitely be putting a picture up, priceless!
• Loves writing/receiving letters in the mail.
• Loves to type on the computer. Her and Jeff do this, they each use half of the screen. It's cute.
• Likes "reading books" to brothers and anyone else
• Is starting to sound out words. My favorite is when she will sound out a word like sip, she'll make each sound for the letter, then say something like SHOE excitedly. It is a work in progress :)
• Favorite Foods: In her words, "Chicken nuggets and broccoli and noodles", she also likes fruity candy (Starburst), popcicles, and isn't a huge fan of chocolate and ice cream (where did this girl come from!!)

Scott

• Is so laid back, he rolls with the punches really well
• Seems like he is laughing and being silly a lot
• Which can be bad--nap time is really rough. Most days, Scott keeps Austin up for about an hour (even though Austin is saying how tired he is)
• says "I love you mama" in the sweetest way, it melts my heart
• was feeling sick the other day and kept walking up to me and said "Love me"
• Can recognize A, S, and K and refers to each as "Austin's letter, Scott's letter or Katie's letter"
• Learning counting, shapes and colors pretty well
• Makes friends with random people wherever we go. He especially loves boys a couple of years older and wants to be like them. He really loves his cousin Stockton. On a recent outing, he wanted to hang out with Stockton the whole time.
• Surprisingly though, Scott is the one that misses us when we go on a date.
• Enjoys singing and music
• Loves trucks and especially tractors
• Also loves airplanes and helicopters which we get to see a lot since we are right on the flight path.
• Likes PB and J every single day for lunch--boy after my own heart
• Favorite Foods: Chicken Pillows, raspberries, ice cream, popcicles, and bread

Austin

• Has taken on the role of baby of the family--he loves to be cuddled and held
• Is all of a sudden eating better. It's so nice, meal time was so stressful. I love that he'll eat a little of most everything. I guess continuing to offer really does work!
• Loves riding around on his bike
• Is talking so much and has this adorable little lisp
• Has this adorable smile he does where he squeezes his eyes shut. I think he knows it's cute because he does it at just the right time
• Recognizes the letters A, S, and K
• Counts pretty well
• Knows shapes pretty well
• Knows colors alright
• Can whine with the best of whiners
• Loves to sing and can often be found singing random words as he does anything.
• Is obsessed with his BYU hat. He always is wearing it and even sleeps in it.
• Favorite Foods: Ice cream, pizza, waffles, popcicles, toast, Mac and cheese!!!

All three

• LOVE babies. Anytime someone brings their baby, they all crowd around and want to love that baby. I keep telling them they will have to get their fill from other people's babies for now!
• Love riding bikes as a family around our circle and neighborhood. We do "races" back and forth and take turns saying "ready set go." It's pretty fun!
• LOVE the BYU Cougars (I don't think Jeff and I have anything to do with that!) We have taken them to two games this year and they did so good. I have been so surprised! They have just been a lot of fun and really have enjoyed themselves.
• Have started blaming things on each other. This is mostly Austin and Scott. I'll ask them who did this and automatically, they (usually Scott) will say "Auzzie did it" or "Scott did it". One time they went back and forth about 5 times. I thought this only happened in movies. I had to try hard no to laugh on this one.

These kids are so much fun. Life isn't perfect, but it is sure interesting. I love that these three are little buddies. Each one brings their unique little bit of fun in, so grateful to have my little kiddies.
