It's Fun Being a Kid!!!

Alright, this is the last Disney post. I could not end without putting in a picture of one of the characters. I thought this year that Hannah would not like the characters as much. Boy was I wrong. Hannah and Alex wanted to see every character and to get every character's autograph. They filled up three autograph books. It was so cute watching their excitement. They are still talking about the characters. Until next time...

Too Small For Rides Never!!!

OK, I am a bad mom. Alex wanted to ride every ride with Hannah. Here is a picture of the crab ride. He stretched really tall to just meet the requirements. I always wondered why there were height requirements. Well now I know when you can barely see over the seat it is hard to enjoy the ride. Believe it or not this was his favorite. He loved it and rode it again and again. Hannah kept saying that her stomach tickled the whole ride. We really had a blast. Can't wait to ride it again....

SeaWorld Here We Come!!!

We love going to Disney in December. Our first stop this year was SeaWorld. This was a first for our family. This was one of our favorite places. Hannah has always really loved animals and what a better way to experience animals up close. We fed dolphins, touched sharks, and even pet sting rays. We watched the Shamu show twice. It truly was amazing watching what these animals can do. The kids still talk about this part of the trip. We will definitely add this to our list for next time. Until then....

A Tailgate Full !!!

The football season has finally come to an end. The kids had a blast. This is a picture of a few of the children on the last home game. Their favorite part of the tailgate is climbing into Papa Dude's truck and playing. How many kids can we fit in the back? Until next time...

Look at that Pumpkin!!!

Hannah and her class went to the pumpkin patch for school. Hannah wanted to choose out the perfect pumpkin. She kept telling me she could not decide if she wanted the small pumpkin in her hand or the big one she was sitting against. I had never seen a pumpkin so big. She ended up choosing the small pumpkin. They got to hear a pumpkin story and walk around with the class and look at all of the different pumpkins. She really loves pumpkins just like her mommy. We ended up having six this year. I know that is crazy. Until next time....

My Police Officer!!

I asked Alex this year what he wanted to be for Halloween. It was so funny. He did not even hesitate. He said, "Mommy I am a police man." So I had to order this police outfit. I tried everywhere to find one in his size but they were all too big. He absolutely loved this outfit. He went around saying your going to jail and blowing the whistle. He looked so precious. Everyone commented on my little police boy. I will post a Halloween picture of both of them later. Until next time...

The Princesses!!!

Wow, how time flies. Hannah has officially turned 5. I can't believe it. We had a blast at Hannah's birthday party. One of my favorite holidays is Halloween. I love carving pumpkins and dressing up. Hannah's birthday party was a dress-up party. All of the girls were so cute. Of course the boys were handsome but getting a picture of them was a little more challenging. Hannah had a balloon man and we all decorated pumpkins. We really had a great birthday party. Hannah was her favorite princess which this year was Jasmine!! Until next time.....

Alex and My First Camping Trip!!

Yes, you read the title correct. Alex and mommy went camping last week. We went to Helen, GA with Mandy and Jon. Now I would say we were ruffing it but my brother-in-law is always so prepared. We get to the camp site and he raked the whole site, made a fire pit, chairs out of rocks, put up the tents, and even found us all bear sticks. It was awesome. I will admit I was a little nervous that we would have a visit from some animals during the night. We had such a great time. We did have to leave at 3 AM because it rained so bad. I would definitely go again. Well only if my brother-in-law was there again. Check out our picture....

My Special Day with Hannah!!

Well it has been a while since I have written. We have been very busy with school and work. Last weekend I took Hannah to Savannah with me for the weekend. Mommy had a work function to attend. Hannah and Mommy had a blast. We went on a carriage ride. Hannah got to drive the horse. She was so excited. The horse's name was Salt. His brother's name was Pepper. She did awesome. She has been talking about this ever since. She really loves horses. We also went to The Pirate House for a Shirley Temple. A real pirate served this to her. A little scary but fun. She has been talking about our special weekend ever since.

Fan Day!!!

Those of you that are reading this are laughing saying of course The Myers would go to Fan Day for the Gamecocks. We had a blast at fan day. Alex and Hannah got to get the soccer players, volleyball players, cheerleaders, cocky, and the football teams autographs on posters. Alex was funny he carried around a football schedule handing it to everyone to sign. Spurrier signed his poster instead of his schedule and he was so upset that Spurrier signed his schedule as well. He was confused why he could not eat popcorn like he does at the games. Hannah of course decided she wanted to hang out where the cheerleaders were. She took pictures with them and even practiced a cheer. We ended up spending a good portion of the day here. View my pictures...

First Day of School!!!

Today was the first day of school. Hannah was so excited to see her friends from last year. She really missed Mrs. Boswell's class this summer. Hannah would now be one of the older kids in her class. She thought she was so cool today. Her teacher had Hannah show a new little girl in their class around. It was sooo funny. She acted as if she was the teacher. She told this little girl every little detail of the classroom. I loved just sitting back and listening. It is amazing how much she has grown since last year. One more year until Kindergarden. SCARY!!! Until next time...

Tubing Fun!!!

I know a lot of my blogs talk about our boating excursions. I have another. We bought a tube and went out today with it. Hannah wanted to tube with Mommy. She did awesome. She kept saying faster faster. Then Alex decided he wanted to tube. Mommy and Alex were on the tube and Papa Dude was pulling us. We were going so slow that we bogged down. Yes, Alex and Mommy flipped. He looked at me and said that was fun but it is Daddy's turn. The kids laughed and laughed as Papa Dude threw Buzzy off the tube. We had a great day. Until next time...

I can swim too!!!

This weekend Alex decided he could swim without his life jacket. He had been watching Hannah and her friends all day and said he wanted to try. Obviously mommy was right there until.... he walked around to the stairs and just walked in and started swimming. It was a little scary. I rushed over and grabbed him. He did not even choke. He was so excited saying he blew out his nose. I couldn't believe it. He keeps telling me he can swim. I guess he is a natural. I still have to watch him like a hawk but he did great.

Watch out sports fans!!!

Well as you all know Alex is obsessed with sports. I could not get him to sleep in his big boy bed so decided to change his room's theme. I am going for the sports theme in hopes to get him excited to sleep in his room. I could not find any cute pictures for the wall so thought I would get Alex's pictures made with all different sports outfits. OK, a two year old taking his pictures and having to change him 4 times during the photo shoot probably isn't the best idea. Surprisingly he did awesome. His pictures turned out so cute. I am going to frame them and make them the pictures on the walls in his room. Of course I had to bribe him with a cookie but it was worth it. Take a look....

Wow, We Did It!!

Today Buzzy and I can hardly move. We went to Atlanta and ran the Peachtree Road Race. It was great. It all started with a trip to Nana's. We ate spagetti to get ready for the race. Then we went to visit Trey and Jenny. Trey has a kegorator. That is all I have to say. Three beers the night before the race. Probably not great. On race day we woke up at 5:25 and went down to run a 10K. That is a big deal for two people that don't like running. It was great. I ran with my sister because we had a number in the 4th group. Buzzy had a number in the last group. We both finished just fine. I completed the race in 1 hr 20 minutes. I only walked twice and not very far so I was very proud. Buzzy finished the race in 1 hr and 9 minutes. Great considering he hates running. I still had to wait for him for an hour because he was so far back. 55, 000 runners. Look for our pictures online. Until next time....

Fun Times At Litchfield!!

Well, I haven't written in a while. We have been very busy and took our family vacation. We went to Litchfield Beach for the 4th year in a row. We love going there. The kids had a blast. We went to the beach and built sand castles. Hannah boogie boarded for her first time. It was hard to get her out of the ocean. We also went to the waterpark. Alex wanted to stay pretty close to mommy but Hannah again went down lots of slides. She said her favorite is the Head Buster. She is a dare devil. I wonder where she gets that. Haha. One night we went putt putting. Again, lots of fun. Alex is pretty good. Hannah likes to look at the scenery and run ahead. We love the traditions we have built at Litchfield with the Krazy Krab, Wahoo's restaurant eating on the water, and Debordieu's pool (Thanks Ali). Until next time....

My Big Girl!!!

It is amazing how quickly your children grow up. Yesterday Hannah and I went to the pool after work. I forgot her floaty but figured since I had only Hannah it would be OK. We ended up seeing her best friend Madison at the pool. By the end of the evening Hannah and Madison were both jumping off the diving board and swimming to the side of the pool. Madison's daddy had to catch them once they jumped off but they swam to the side by themselves in the deep end. It was amazing. Last year Hannah would not even put her face in the water. What a difference a year makes!!!! Until next time....

The Beach Kids!!!

Nana finished school and came up to visit Hannah and Alex last week. I had to work in Myrtle Beach so they all came with me. We had a blast. Hannah and Alex ran up and down the beach collecting shells. Then Alex discovered the pool. That was the end of the beach. Hannah and Alex literally swam for hours. Alex was so cute because he finally figured out if he moved his legs as fast as he could in the water he could swim by himself with a life jacket. He wanted to go from one side to the other. Everyone at the pool was laughing because he was moving his legs so fast. We also went putt-putting one evening. Nana was actually pretty good. I am excited for our beach trip in two weeks. Until next time....

The Skipper Crew!!!

We have had a blast on the boat the past few weekends. The kids are really enjoying the boat. Alex sits at the front of the boat and yells, "Go Fast Daddy Fast!" Hannah just giggles. They love looking for floating fish. We usually see about 2 or 3 a trip. The kids think the floaters are sleeping. It is so funny. This weekend we had a picnic at Dreher Island Park. We parked the boat and got out to eat. It was a lot of fun. The Watts Clan was with us. Imagine 5 kids on a boat. They loved it. This weekend was the first weekend that Hannah and Alex went swimming. They really love the water. They tried to get me in but it was too cold. Maybe next time. Until then.....

What a week!!!

OK. It has been a while but a lot happened last week. It all started with Hannah accidentally scratching my cornea. Then Alex got strep. He was put on an antibiotic and had an allergic reaction. Then yes I got sick. I went to pick up Alex on Thursday and was told he had a spill at school. He fell and hit his head on the door hinge. So I took him to the ER. They ended up glueing his wound back together. All I have to say is I am so glad that week is over. Until next time....

Little Fish!!

Hannah started swim lessons this week with three of her friends. The classes are really cute. The instructors throw pretend food across the pool and the children have to go shopping. They also play Simon says. The girls are doing great. Hannah is so excited because the instructor has removed 3 pads from her life jacket. She has 6 more classes so hopefully by the end she will be swimming without any pads. She is doing great. I will keep you posted....

The Rock Stars!!!

This past weekend was a blast. We went to one of our friend's house with 5 other couples and all of the kids. We all played Rock Band all night. I will post some pictures so you can see the true rockers in action. The adults were like kids and the kids just ran around the house all night. Alex came downstairs with one of his buddies Jackson and their arms were covered in markers. Thank goodness it was just their arms. The girls played dress up. Hannah was Cinderella for a few hours. It was so cute. Until next time.....

Sparkleberry Fair!!

This weekend was the Sparkleberry Fair. Hannah performed a tap and ballet dance there. It was really cute. Aunt Steph and Uncle Todd came to help me out because Buzzy was out of town. They thought the dance was hilarious because the kids really just stood there and every now and then busted a move.

Alex had a great time. Hannah and Alex rode rides and ponies, pet animals and did arts and crafts. Alex wanted to ride the biggest pony there and he rode it without Mommy holding him. AHHHH!!! It was really cute. They really had a blast and were really good for their Mommy.

Gone Fishing!!

This weekend we had a blast fishing from a dock at the end of our street. It was adorable. Hannah and Alex found some sticks in the backyard. We went and put string on the end of them. Yes, it was our homemade fishing poles. We also brought bread down for the ducks and fish. Alex was looking for Nemo all day. Some of our friends were out on the lake and came by and picked us up. It was the kids first boat ride. They had a blast. Alex kept saying, "go fast go fast." Hannah giggled the whole time. We really had a great time. We can't wait to do it again.

Single Dad!!

Yes, Buzzy is a single Dad this week. I am in Fort Myers for a work trip. Before I left we had to implement a listening spot at the house. Hannah and Alex have decided not listening is fun. Well Hannah said we need to put a piece of tape on the floor with her name and one with Alex's name so they can sit there if they don't listen. I thought that was pretty creative so we did that. I called home yesterday and Hannah told me that she added another piece of tape to the floor for Daddy. She said he had not been listening to her while I was gone. All I could do was laugh. Buzzy said this was true she added a piece of tape for him. Haha. Buzzy also had to take her to dance tonight. They gave Hannah a Tutu for her upcoming performance. Buzzy said he did not know how to put it on her. I wish I had a picture of this. Hopefully he will survive....

Wow The Pollen!!

The pollen has struck our family hard this year. Buzzy, Mommy and the kids have spent a lot of time outside this week after school. Alex is now hitting a baseball pitched by Buzzy overhand. Buzzy is very proud of his little slugger. Hannah now can swing herself on the swing. This is new this week. Now Mommy doesn't have to push her for hours at a time. With all of this being said, we all woke up this morning with severe allergies. Alex is wheezing, Hannah's eyes won't stop watering, and Mommy's whole body aches. I guess this is what happens when you play in pollen. I even have pollen footsteps throughout my house. Until next time...

The Big 35!!

Today was Buzzy's birthday. The kids were probably more excited than Buzzy because they were going to have a birthday party. While Buzzy was golfing the kids decided to get ready for the party. Hannah said she wanted her daddy to have a cake with flowers, a sun, and a picture of her whole family on it. She then went and wrapped up a present that she found in the playroom for her daddy. It was a fake cake and a plate she made from Art Elements. She even painted a card. Alex decided he wanted to do what sissy was doing. He picked out a plastic plate and a fake french fry. He put it in a bag and used an entire roll of tape fixing it for daddy. He then colored a picture for daddy and decided he would color both of his arms as well in permanent pink marker. That was a lot of fun trying to get off. Hannah counted out 35 candles. Alex and Hannah placed all of them on the cake. Yes, I did say 35. Buzzy loved his birthday celebration.

Potty Time!!

Today the director of Alex's daycare called my cell phone. The conversation was like this....

Kelley, Alex is OK. I wanted to tell you something special that happened to him today. He told his teacher that he had to go potty. She said she put him on the potty and he pooped on the potty for the first time. He was so proud that he asked his friends to come and see. The director said Alex thought he was hot stuff. They ended up celebrating the rest of the day.

Mommy is soooo proud. Alex is almost 27 months. Not bad.

Starting a blog....can you believe it!!

Well I know all my friends are in shock right now. I actually have started a blog. I thought it would be a quick way to keep my family and friends updated on our lives. I can't promise I will use correct grammar but will have fun doing this. So until next time...
