Our Cute little Kayden started kindergarten this year and turned into a monster.  I told him that an Alien had come and stolen my Kayden and I did not want this Alien to stay in my house.  Today I think my Kayden is starting to be himself.  He is talking kindly and letting me hug him.  He stayed in his bed at bedtime and did not yell for me to come back into his room.  Everyone warned me that fullday kindergarten would be hard, but I did not think it could be this bad.  Hopefully we are on the upside of this adjustment.  Kayden loves girls and I am a little worried.  He says that all the girls are nice to him and he likes to play with them and not the boys.   While he is playing soccer he is also waving and talking to the girls.  Kayden is 5 going on 16.

This picture is taken of my cute Grandma Chambers with my family.  Four generations.  We were in Utah and she was not looking to good.  She was not feeling well either.  My mom came back to Massachusetts shortly after we got back from Utah.  She was worried that my Grandma was not going to make it too much longer.  She died a couple of weeks later.  I am glad that I had the opportunity to see her and spend time and get this photo.
These are the cutest boys.  They like having their pictures taken.  Cooper especially loves to ham it up for the camera.  Colton is starting to say words.  He says shoe and then goes and gets his shoes and brings them to me to put on to go outside.  He is saying more, out, ouch, and all done.

We are now getting back into school life and getting into somewhat of a routine.  I do miss Kaleb and Kayden, but I am really enjoying spending time with Cooper and Colton.  They are really becoming good friends.  Cooper likes to pull colton in the wagon and push him on the trike.  Cooper likes to make car motor sounds as he pushes Colton.  Cooper has also enjoyed making mom and dad's bed into a spaceship.  He hides under the covers and shoots his gun out at the Aliens.  Colton loves getting his shoes and putting them on to go outside.  He really needs to start talking.  He tries to talk, but we just don't understand his language.  If that doesn't work, he tries to pull you to what he wants and if that doesn't work he screams.  Most of the time he wants popsicles or chocolate and other times I am just puzzled.  All I can say is that 2 children are a cinch and that 4 are real hard.  I love them and enjoy all their creativity and energy.  
The Huber family has been staying with us and our children are having so much fun.  Everyday the kids ask when Rachael, Taylor, and SarahAnn will be at our house.  They have been great to have in our home.  We are grateful to get to know them better.  I think they are longing to get back in their own home.  It has been 6 weeks since they last slept in their home.  They are good sports and have good attitudes about everything.
