Bodies

Spencer woke up with a yucky green nose today, so he and I stayed home from church. Just wondering, will our family ever be not sick for longer than a week?! Anyway, last night Blake and I went on our first date since Valentine's Day (sad, I know!) to Bodies. I am sure most of you have heard of it. I don't know how to describe it except that there are actual human bodies to view inside and descriptions of what everything in the body does. It was amazing!! After seeing it, I thought how can anyone say there is not a God who creates us. Everything is so intricate and must work together just right for people to be able to function. Even something as simple as bending your toes requires so many muscles and blood to make it work right. Seeing how many veins and arteries are in the body and how much blood is pumped through us every second is unbelievable!! There was also a room with babies in it. This was a difficult room to be in, but amazing to see, even at 8 weeks gestation, the facial features and bodies of a baby. The reverence in the exhibit was amazing. People were so respectful and thoughtful. I recommend that if you haven't seen it, go before it is gone. It is something I will never forget.

A couple people tried getting me to go to this, but I just don't think I could have seen all that. It would gross me out, and I know that's sad, but I just can't do it. But that's cool you enjoyed it!

Billy wants to go to that so bad but I'm freaked out by the idea of it. I don't think I can handle it.

That sounds cool! I've never heard of it. I think Mike would think it was pretty cool - he was fascinated once with a book her read about cadavers ... ya, a WHOLE book about cadavers! Creepy. But I'm glad you had a fun date night! :)

We have been doing a lot of swimming, popsicle eating, water playing, anything to keep cool in this awful heat! This $15 pool was the best purchase we have ever made, in my opinion! Spencer loves it because it is just a big bath for him. Some people in our ward "donate" their pools to us hot people. It is great. This is Spencer's first swim. Poor kid. Believe it or not, he did enjoy it. Hailey swam across the pool with her floaties, so she was pretty psyched. About ten seconds after the swimming. He was so pooped!

Spencer getting ready to become a Priest for church. He was pretty happy about it and his new responsibilities. Wlliam always being slightly choked. Blake hung up my organizer I got from Marci Durrant's barn sale We had pasta making night competition. It was so fun to use our new pasta roller. Hailey and Spencer and Blake were a team. Brooke and William and I were a team. We really need to do this again! First time Spencer did temple baptisms where he was the baptizer. He baptized Taitlyn! Woo! Lovely winter sunset Made something new! The boys ate them right up! Lunch with Hailey! Another fun bakery order! That's it for January! Always a bit exhausted after December.

Brooke Eileen Bell was born Aug 24th at 11:11 pm. 7 lbs, 15 oz, 20 inches.....and tons of great black hair!! Heres the story for all you interested people. I had cleaned the house all day and played with the kids. Was about to make dinner around 4 and started to feel a little weird and crampy, but didn't think much about it. Around 5, I was making chocolate chip waffles for dinner and realized the contractions had gone on for an hour and were about 3 minutes apart now. Called Blake and said I might be in labor, but don't worry, it would probably go away. Kept making waffles...called my mom and told her I was probably in labor. Blake got home, left for hospital around 6. We went to the ER and they said go to labor and delivery. Around 630, I was at a 4. Got all set up on IV and by the time epidural came around 830, I was at a 6. Moved to a 10 pretty fast after. Pushed a few times and there she was!! Hooray, no more summer pregnancy.=) We had to stay in the hospital a f...
