Fall Frenzy

So much has been going on that I am falling behind in my blogging.  We had out county fair in September and the kids entered drawings and I entered my lemon meringue pie. ( which was a learning experience and a lesson on patience) The kids did great, Ty got 2nd and Tanner got 3rd in their age divisions.  I also got 2nd for my pie and a special award for the flavor. So I might try again now that I know what to do. 

Then school started, Tylin is in 3rd grade and Tanner is in preschool. They both are doing really well and really like their teachers.  Tanner even got to meet the governor at his school. He didn't know what a governor was but he said he was nice and read him a book.

Tanner just finished soccer too. He loves soccer and loves to kick goals. I was lucky enough to be persuaded into being his coach.  What do I know about soccer? NOTHING!  I was lost but lucky for me so were most of the kids.  We were the gold ninjas and we were undefeated!

Tylin is doing gymnastics and really loves it. She is almost doing back handsprings and her front handsprings are improving. She also has the opportunity to be in the Nutcracker ballet this year. She is very excited! She is an angel.  It is a big commitment but also a good growing experience. The twins are starting to talk. They mimic everything and I am starting to understand them, so that helps with the communication gap. They have such fun personalities but are definitely different.  Karter is more dominant. She is a rough and tumble girl.  She also has picked up biting and is often in time out.  She also has a good sense of humor and loves to tease.  Kinley is more timid. She talks more than her sister, but she also tends to be more winey.  She loves to play with her sister and LOVES candy, which she calls ( noggy).

Halloween was a lot of fun. Tanner was Darth Vader and the rest of the family were skeletons.  The babies were pretty nervous about the painted faces and scary masks. We went to Tony's work party and some people were dressed up with scary faces, Karter wouldn't go near them but Kinley would if they had candy, she just kept an eye on them while she grabbed the candy.  We did some trick or treating and now we have way too much candy sitting around that I can't stop eating.  So far Fall has been a success and I am excited for all the holiday fun headed our way. :)
