Kira

Kira started kindergarten this year.  Here kindergarten is every other day and then alternate Mondays.  She is loving it.  We got her first report card and she is doing great.  I get to help out in her classroom every Friday.  It is fun to see her in that element.  Here is my girlie.  She decided to do dance this past spring and the final rectial was in June.  Great Grandma and Grandpa Bowen were able to come up for it along with Grandma and Grandpa Jorgensen.

We turned 5!!!

First day of school.  I'm a big kid now.

Riding bikes to school.  This is what Kira has been waiting for. 

Aiden

Aiden is growing up way too fast.  Last night he said his first prayer.  He folds his arms and he repeated everything I said.  I didn't realize he could actually say all those words.  Holy cow he is growing quickly.  On the 3rd of Nov. he will be 18 months old.  What happened to the last year and a half?

Aiden loves sports, mostly soccer right now.  He can dribble better than most of my 5 year olds on my soccer team this year.  He loves his dad and sleeps for at least 12 hours.  He has a hard time when both his sisters are at school (Kira goes all day every other day).

Sissy shared her hat with me.

First horse ride.  He loved it.

Get me off here now!!

Yum, candy. 

More, please.

Too cute.

I got dad's hat. 

Aiden does throw some interesting tantrums.  He screams, much like the one pic above and stomps his foot and swings his arms up and down.  Most of the time he runs to the couch to hit it since he gets in trouble for hitting any person.  It is cute and annoying all at once.  It is even funny but laughing makes him madder. 

He is the first kid that actually got into the drawers so Arik went through and baby proofed the house.  Aiden had a very rough day when he found out he could no longer open all the drawers.  I felt bad watching him pull as hard as he could with no success. 

Having a boy is so much different than a girl and we are enjoying every minute of it.

Family Pics

Okay so these are not really family pics but rather kids pics.  Brandee did one last photo session before she moved and they all turned out amazing.  There were so many to choose from it really was not fair. 
Brookelyn is 7.  Kira is 5 and Aiden (in these pictures) is 14 months. 

Love Kira's face.

No I will not look.

Fine I will look but not sit still.

I'm done.

Best friends. 

Yep, I am done NOW!!

No more please!

Still crying you just can't see it.

Don't worry it is almost over.

The kids did great.  Brandee is awesome.  As we were walking back to the car Brookelyn asked who is going to take our pictures now.  Guess Brandee has to come visit us 2 times a year, summer for birthday pics and Thanksgiving for family pics.  :)
