The Myers Family: Leah's 5th Birthday

Leah is 5 years old! I can hardly believe it has been that long since she was a little baby. We celebrated all day long! We picked up Grant from work and went out to lunch. She picked chik-fil-a and then asked to order a hamburger! Silly girl. She was happy with her chicken though. She got to pick her favorite dinner-meatballs with mushroom sauce- and then open presents and have an "ice cream" cake that was literally just a block of ice cream with frosting. Live and learn the east coast quirks I guess. She even got to open presents while skyping with Grandma, Grandpa, Spencer and Mckay! I think she had a great day. She starts preschool in one more week and is soooo excited!

Emma is doing well in school. She loves going and brings home a new library book everyday to read. She is a reading machine and likes to stay up reading in bed something she gets from both her parents! She and Leah are doing soccer this fall and she seems to like it. She was so excited she slept in her new shin guards and then got up at 6:30 on Saturday so she would be ready in time. She is eagerly awaiting her birthday, it is hard to have a sister get so many fun things and have to wait 6 weeks to get something of your own. She recently checked out a book about how to draw cartoons and has been drawing us all with different funny faces and eyes.

Becca is busy being an adorable 2 year old. She continues trying to say every word she hears and some we aren't sure where she picked up! She is also putting 3-4 words together to say sentences. Dinner usually goes like this "it gross, don't want it" or less frequently "mmm delicious." She loves her routine and frequently reminds us if we doing anything out of the ordinary. She has become very particular about what she will wear and insists on wearing her yellow dress for church. She loves playing and trying to be like her sisters and is always copying their words and actions.

Grant is doing well at work. Finally got the microscope up and running and will hopefully start getting lots of data to crunch through and write about. He has been slowly trying to get the swing of boy scouts and how to be a committee leader.

The baby and I are doing well. She wiggles all day and it feels like all night! We are constantly joking around about weird names to use but haven't come up with anything we like so far. Somedays it feels like she won't be here forever but I know the time will pass quickly. I have been feeling better this last week and we have been enjoying the beautiful weather. Why can't it be 70 year round?

Last but not least pictures!
