Donut Shop

Caitlyn's preschool class went on a class outing to Daylight Donuts last Thursday. She had such a fun time. Here is her class eyeing the delicious looking donuts.

This is the man showing them how donuts are made. I had never actually seen the process so I thought it was cool as well.

Ms Ada helping Caitlyn decorate her donut. She chose chocolate icing with colorful sprinkles.
Caitlyn enjoying her donut. Notice the sprinkle in her tooth. How funny.

Her friend Andersen is in her class as well. Here are the two of them chowing down.

After they ate their donuts they sang some songs on the bus then went back into the shop and made a craft. Their were 3 classes so they were in a rotation.
I think overall she had a fun time. Not much else happening in the Myers house.. We finally finished our taxes so we made a trip to Sumter on Friday to have those done. Yeah!! Dale has been studying a lot for tests and he has a big paper due tomorrow, so he is a little stressed. We are planning a trip to Marlinton, WV on Friday to see Dales pop pop (grandad). His health is not doing well so we are going for a visit. Just keep him in your prayers. That's all for now.

Where Have I Been?

That's the question many are wondering. I usually have at least one post a week, but I have been majorly slacking the last couple of weeks. So I'm going to try to catch up a little. We had beautiful spring like weather a few weekends ago, 80 degree weather, so we were outside a lot. The girls and Dale went one Sunday afternoon with our neighbors to the local park. I think they had a good time. I was at home with Caleb taking a nap :)
Isn't this such a cute shot of the big girls.

Caitlyn has been wanting her hair braided like Princess Genevieve. I told her I would try and it actually didn't turn out that bad. I have been practicing. So lately that's her daily hairstyle. It's so cute.

We caught up with a few friends whom we went to college with a couple of weekends ago, Rod and Markeeta Smith. They have a son about the same age as Chloe. We went over to their house for dinner and had a great time. The kids loved playing with one another, especially on his little 4 wheeler.
Caleb was getting instructions on how to use sidewalk chalk. How cute

Chloe had her last Upward cheerleading game this same weekend and a couple friends came to see her. Andy and Susan Lepper came and cheered Chloe on. They had a blast. So to say the least our weekends have been pretty busy lately. Chloe went on a field trip to downtown Wake Forest this past week. Dale went with her since my schedule and me needing some sleep, plus we had worked it out that Dale would go with Chloe this time. She wanted her daddy to go this time. How sweet. So they were off on a trip about community helpers. Dale is a photo nut, so I will only post a few at this time. They got to have story time, see police car, firefighter and had pizza for lunch. What could beat that:)
Chloe loves to ride the bus. Oh the simple things of life.
Here they are in the ABC store where they had story time.

Chloe getting out of the police car. The kids thought this was so fun.

This was one of Chloe's favorite things, the pizza shop for lunch.

Chloe has been doing such a great job lately with reading and sounding out her words. I came downstairs one day to see this story Chloe had written on their chalkboard about her sister Caitlyn. I thought it was so precious, and to see how her mind was thinking of writing the words just like they sounded. It's amazing to me how much they learn so fast. It just seems like she was learning her ABCs, let a lone be writing a story. Oh how the time flies.

Well I think that's all for now. Caitlyn has her 1st field trip tomorrow to the Donut Shop. So look for more pics coming. Hope you enjoy the update.

Such a Big Boy!!

Last night Dale and I put up Caleb's big boy bed. He was so excited once it was up. Of course all three of them loved jumping on it. When it was time for bed, he climbed right up in there and pulled his pooh bear and tigger close to him as well as his blanket and was all smiles. Not one tear shed.

Doesn't he look so big :(


He took his nap today in it with no problem. I cannot believe how well he has done:)
So today I took the crib down. It is the first time its been down since our oldest Chloe was born. It was kind of sad. We put it in storage just in case #4 comes along. (Not anytime soon) I cleaned out a lot of baby toys and clothes. Man times just flies and they grow so fast. I just want them to stay my babies as long as possible.

Its almost spring and we have snow!

Well they kept saying we might get snow last night and I guess we did. Chloe was off school today and so we had a family day today. Dale is actually on his "spring break" from school. Great weather huh? Here are some pictures of our very own snowman we made earlier this afternoon. It was great to actually be able to make a real snowman. It was also great snowball snow. Caitlyn and I against Dale and Chloe. Caleb was napping. I would say Caitlyn and I came out on top. Dale was trying to take us out with huge snowballs. In all we had fun until the girls thought their fingers were going to fall off. After Caleb woke us from his nap, I got a picture of all 3 of them with their very own 1st snowman. How sweet!!
This was right after we finished making him, grape eyes and apples for the mouth.
Here is all 3 of them with "Frosty"
Caleb was just a little shorter than the snowman. He kept staring at it. He was so funny.
I didn't get a chance to take pictures of our snowball fight because I had to defend myself. Maybe next time. Enjoy!!
