Visit from Grandma and Grandad

Well this weekend my mom and dad stopped in to Wake Forest since they had been in Georgia for a conference. On the way home they stopped to see us. They came in Thursday afternoon. With them came a few gifts for the kids from Aunt Donna. Here is Caleb checking out his new tractor. Even though its John Deere, he loved it. :)

Chloe got the game Pretty as a Princess and loved it. We have played it SEVERAL times since.

Caitlyn received a new cooking set for the kitchen and has cooked many meals for us. Thanks so much for the gifts Aunt Donna and Uncle Jimmy.

Friday after we picked Chloe up from school we went out to dinner at the "peanut place" as Caitlyn would call it, otherwise known as The Texas Roadhouse. Here are a few pics of the family.

Grandad and Chloe (yes this pic is a little fuzzy its not your eyes)

Here is Caitlyn with Grandma.

Chloe was worried that grandma and grandad would leave today before they got to see her cheer. So she was sooo excited when she found out that they would stay until after she cheered today. It was a big rush to get her to the church on time for the game since Chloe had to go to school today, yes on a Saturday. Today was their makeup day since the snowfall this week. Since she attends a year round school, they make them up on Saturdays. Weird I know, but she only had to go a half day. I told her that was a first for me. I never went to school on a Saturday. She thought that was funny. Here is Caitlyn posing for me. She is so beautiful..

Here are the girls doing a cheer during halftime. Chloe is a flyer. They did such a good job. Way to go Dazzlers!!

Grandad and Grandma with Chloe after the game. Sorry dad I cut half your head off in the pic.

Well Dad and Mom left a little while ago to head back to West Virginia. We were glad they stopped in to see us. We put up a new ceiling fan and light in our living room and we taught them how to play Uno Attack. I think my mom and dad are addicted to it. They were actually up till 12:30 last night. That's late for them. I eventually had to cut them off and send them to bed.
Well that's all for now. Check back later for some other updates from the Myers.

Here we go Again

Well after I woke up from sleeping today, Chloe finally felt up to going outside. Here she is all smiles.

Here is Chloe and Caleb checking the snow out. Caitlyn politely let me know she'd would stay inside and watch us from the window. She said " I like warm weather mommy." How funny is that.

SNOW!!!

That's right you read it right. It snowed here in Wake Forest, NC. I am so excited. I think I am more excited than the kids. All night at work I couldn't wait to get home so the kids could get up and see the snow. So when I got home, Chloe was awake so I showed her the snow. She just smiled, but she hasn't felt well so she stayed in bed. Caitlyn and Caleb were up and I showed them the snow and they got the biggest smiles. They really weren't sure what it was, since they haven't been in snow before. So here are some photos of our early morning excursion outside to see snow.

Here is Chloe all snuggled in her warm bed with Smokey the cat.

Here is Chloe's bike outside our back door.

This was Caleb's first reaction to the snow blowing in his face. Brrrr....

Caitlyn on the other hand, wasn't so sure about the cold stuff blowing on her.

Caleb was so funny. He tried to run and kept falling down, but still kept on laughing.

Caitlyn was in the corner out of the way of the blowing snow. She was saying her hands were cold. She didn't last long, but at least she got to experience the snow.

I love this shot of Caleb. He is so sweet.

I was showing Caitlyn how to do a snow angel. I felt like a kid again. It was so fun.

Here is my result. How beautiful!!

Then Caleb tried to do one, face first.

Here is daddy and Caleb right before we went back inside. My fingers were starting to freeze.

Hopefully Chloe will feel better later and go out and experience the snow. Say a prayer that she starts to feel better. I'm gonna try to post some video of the kids in the snow later.

Now that we got to play in the snow some, I think its off to bed. Check back later for more updates...

Caitlyn and her 1st day at Preschool

Well today was a big day in our household. Caitlyn was set to go to her first day of preschool at Wake Crossroads Baptist Church. She had been so excited. We went yesterday and she picked out a new lunch box and backpack. This morning when I came home Caitlyn was fussing so I asked her what was wrong and she finally told me she was scared. Chloe came over beside her and told her it was ok to be scared and that sometimes we get scared when we do something new. And by the end of day she would probably be so happy. It was so sweet, Chloe was giving her a pep talk. Then she was ready to go. So they headed downstairs for breakfast before heading off to school.

Here she is just before heading out the door.

Dale was taking the pictures and he took a lot. But he did a good job. Here is Caitlyn getting ready to enter the building.

As soon as she went in, we met Mrs Ada and Mrs Dawn her teachers.

Caitlyn is part of the Tigers classroom.

Caitlyn went right in and learned where to place her belongings.

Caitlyn sat right down at the table and was ready to go.

Here is Caitlyn with Mrs Ada.

She didn't even think twice about it. When Dale picked her up she was so excited. She had such a good time. I know she is going to love going to school like her big sister Chloe. Just doesn't seem like its been that long since she was a baby. They grow up so fast.

Chloe

Here is the video of Chloe and her first day of cheering. There is also a clip of Caleb which will just melt your heart. Enjoy!!

GO CHLOE!!

Today was Chloe's first day of cheerleading for Upward. She was so excited. The expression on her face was priceless. Here she is with the other girls in her squad. They are the Dazzlers!!

Look at how happy she is. I was nervous at first because she is so shy at first. But she did so good. Chloe even got the Spirit star for today. I am so proud of her.
Here she is sitting in her "cheer sit" I never thought I would be typing about cheer sitting. Anyone who knows me, knows I am farthest from the cheerleader type. But since Chloe is excited about it so am I.

We have a video to post but it is still in the working. Check back later!!

Just a note

I thought that since Dale has blogged the last couple of days with so much theological insight I needed to update with normal talk, so here goes.
While we were at Dales moms house I went to Once Upon a Child store and found some really cute dresses. Here are the girls dressed up for church last Sunday in a few of their new outfits. They looked so cute. The good thing right now is they can both wear each others clothes. Yeah!!!

I tried to get a picture of all 3 of the kids but here is how it went.

Guess that one didn't go that well.
We are excited about the next few days. Chloe has her first cheerleading game tomorrow afternoon with Upward cheerleading. She is sooo excited. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. Then Caitlyn is going to be starting preschool on Tuesday. She is going to go on Tuesdays and Thursdays at a local church. She is getting so big and she is excited about going to school. So we have to go this weekend and pick out a new lunch bag and backpack.
Well, that's all for now.. Check back soon for new updates...
