Already Starting

This year I have a kid in 9th grade, one in 1st, one in kindergarten, and then a preschooler. I can't believe how fast they are growing.

Skyler seems to be enjoying his time as a freshman in high school. He continues to learn more and more each day as well as getting involved. He is in the band and has done a great job, but he is also on the Spell Bowl team like he was at the middle school. He is a great student!

Kenzi is in the first grade and loves school still. She has gotten way more bossy and is getting to the point of where she wants to do what she wants instead of what we want. She is very bossy with her brothers and sometimes it is funny because they will tell her no.  Recently she has started the stage of not listening to anything we say so she gets in trouble a lot also. I think as she gets older she is going to be harder because she is so cute!

Devin is the one that is "already starting". He is our kindergarten student who seems to enjoy school, but can be a pain sometimes. In the morning he is a pain because he doesn't want to be awake and that means he doesn't want to do what he is told at all. Today he decided that he didn't want to get in trouble for being "off task" at school. When he colored his chart it was green, but then decided to try hiding it and colored over it with blue. It was crazy that he is only in kindergarten and has already started changing things from school. I hope he doesn't do it again, but who knows!

Landon is in preschool at the same school with Kenzi and Devin. He only goes three times a week for half a day and he seems to enjoy it. He has only gotten in trouble a couple times so I think that he is enjoying it. I hope that when he goes to kindergarten next year he does okay.

Jarred and I are busy of course, but he has been especially busy because I have been attending an Autism conference in Bloomington. I was there Oct. 10 and 11th and it was such a good conference with great information. I go back for the 3rd and 4th days on Nov. 7 and 8. Then have the last two days in february. I enjoyed the conference! Jarred of course was taking care of the kids during that time so I am sure he had his hands full.

This week we start fall break on Friday and then also no school on Monday for fall break also. I am looking forward to those two extra days of home time. Hopefully I can enjoy some quilting time since I will have four of them reading to be quilted soon.

I can't  believe it has been such a long time since I have update this. Hopefully in the future it won't be such a long time.
