We had a great Halloween and Christmas. It is so fun having a new little one who actually starts understanding what is going on. Then gets all excited with all the lights. The funnest part of Halloween was walking around are new neighborhood. We got a lot of candy and Kyle loved all the decorations. The other kids thought most of them were to scary, but Kyle would "OOhhh" and "AAAHHHH" at everything. It was a great night.

Christmas was so fun, the lights, cooking, and family was so nice. Everyone had a great time relaxing and oh so much fun. I think it's funny I don't remember what exactally everyone got for Christmas I just remember everyone having fun and playing nice all day. I can't wait for the year were we can decorate the whole tree and not just the top half. I love having little ones around the house. I think we broke about 5-10 ordaments this year. Oh well life goes on. My favorite ordaments are the ones the kids bring home from school anyway.

So Conner started Kindergarten this year and has loved it. He has a great teacher Mrs. Ball and he has grown so much. He has made a lot of friends but still forgets some of their names. His reading and writing is so awsome. I'm so happy for him, I can understand so much now. Conner was hard to understand a little befor school started but now he has blossomed so much. He has nice handwriting, I love reading his sentences he does every week. Kate has started third grade this year and loves her teacher Ms. Bailey. She has done so well in school this year like always. She has a math test every morning and pretty much passes them all that morning. She is one of the highest person is her class in math. She is so good at it and picks up new concepts pretty fast. She is a great reader, I think she is at a sixth grade reading level right now. This past summer she started reading the Harry Potter books and is now on book 5 and loves them. When she has spare time she loves to read. She has done a lot of reports this year and they have all been really fun, I do them with her of course. She is a great student and loves school. Sariah is not in school yet but I wanted to mension that she has been writing her name for the past 4-5 months now and yes you can actually read it. She is now writing everyones name in our family. She loves to color and write everyones name under her drawings.

Well I haven't been on blogger for a while. Lots has happened since the summer and I guess I need to get my big items on here. Kate Was Baptised! In August Kate turned 8 and got baptised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She was so excited. Everything went so well. She had her Grandma Lewis talk on Babtism and me to talk on the Holy Ghost. It was nice most of her friends could make it. I love my big girl. She is such a great example to me, she always is the first to remind us to study our scriptures and say family pray every night. She is a great big sister. She loves playing with her brothers and sister. She is great helper around the house. She is starting to learn how to make some basic food for herself and loves to do it. She wants to learn more about cooking, she says she loves my cooking and wants me to teach her. I love her so much.
