Kyle is cute. Like, really, really cute! He is such a sweet boy. He took his first steps the day before his birthday, but really got going around Conference weekend. He thinks he's pretty awesome and is all over the place now. His favorite games are: "Try and push the power button on the computer before Mommy and Daddy can stop me," "Open up the cupboards and drawers and throw everything out at lightning speed," "How many magazines and books can I destroy?" and "Throw my blankie out of the crib and whine about how I can't get it back." As I write this, he is ripping up a phone book, but at least he's entertained. (Who still uses phone books, anyway?) Kyle's #1 favorite thing in his whole life (so far) is cheese. He thinks it's the best stuff ever. He's also good at eating everything--last night was chicken enchiladas and he loved it. He also loves spaghetti and lasagna. Anyway, he jabbers a lot ("nanana" means food or drink, we think) and if we're lucky he'll do the sign for "more." He's getting pretty good at sippie cups, so I think we're about ready to take the beloved bottles away. He's not too bad with change though, so hopefully it won't be a major shock. He loves when Cameron does silly things to make him laugh.
My good-lookin' boys:
Cameron, for the most part, is enjoying kindergarten. He likes riding the bus with his friends and likes doing "centers" where they go to different tables and do projects. He's doing really well with reading and writing, and can read a lot of books on his own. We can't spell words in front of him anymore to disguise what we're talking about, so Aaron's resorted to Portuguese and I have to try and interpret the best I can. :) He's still a huge fan of dinos and dragons, trains, pirates, swords, and all those typical boy things. And even though I've never been a fan of having swords and guns, somehow everything turns into them anyway (like Legos, toy screwdrivers, etc.). Cameron is in a music class that he goes to each week with other kids his age (I go with him every other week) and is having fun there. He's learned a lot, and I can tell he's getting better at pitch and rhythm.
We got the ginormous window in our living room tinted a few days ago. It's not super dark like a car or anything, but maybe it'll help our house from getting to be 87 degrees in the middle of October.
Aaron's new job is good, most days. He's doing way different stuff than he used to, so he's struggled with that. But he's gotten to do a few fun things like hiking and 4-wheeling, so it can't be that bad!
I got called to be the 1st counselor in the YW in our ward. At the moment, that's along with being a VT coordinator and ward organist, so it's not like I'm overwhelmed or anything. :) Anyway, so far so good, even though I was really nervous. The girls are great and I think it'll be good for me (and hopefully for them!).
