The Myers Family: Leah's Birthday and General Conference

Life has been busy at the Myers home of late. Leah had a great birthday. She picked bone chicken (rotisserie chicken) and homemade mac and cheese for her birthday dinner. She got two ice cream birthday cakes because it would have been too tall to if we had done one! She is doing really well in soccer and really enjoys it. We were playing soccer the other night for FHE and everytime the ball went out of bounds she would tell us it had gone "out of balance":)
Emma is doing well in school as always. She is just finishing up the Emily Windsnap mermaid books and starting a series called Dragon Slippers. She has also started piano lessons with me and so far it is going well. She was asked to write a short talk for the primary program and is excited to get to share it soon in a few weeks.
Becca is keeping me entertained at home all day while her sisters are at school. Her favorite book at the moment is olivia chrimas as she calls it. She has been extra interested in coloring and drawing of late and will draw me multiple pictures of monsters and dinosaurs. She is even starting to try and write letters. She loves to help cook any and everything and is super helpful with setting the table and emptying the dishwasher.
Alicia is keeping us on our toes always trying to find somewhere new to explore. She is especially obsessed with climbing the stairs which is a problem when the baby gate doesn't work to block the stairs. I try to block it with the ottoman but she just head buts it until it rolls out of her way. She is super happy and fun to play with and loves to give me kisses. She is getting her two top teeth and you can hear her grinding them from across the room.
Grant is headed out to Notre Dame and Sandia National Labs for interviews next week so wish me luck on the home front all by myself!
