Out of Town

Blake is going to have to start traveling for trainings for his job and I am a little nervous about the whole thing. His first time will be for a week in a few weeks. How do you all cope who have husbands who travel for work? I don't want to go off the deep end....=) No but really, any tips on how to stay sane?

When Sean is working a road job, he is usually gone for 2-3 days at a time then home for 1-2 days. Mostly, I keep myself busy... I do laundry and cleaning, but I also find things that I like to do that I might not get to do very often. (reading, watching chick flicks, etc) When Sean is gone, we talk on the phone a lot, so we don't miss each other as much as if we couldn't talk at all. (luckily we get free mobile to mobile.)

Above all, ASK FOR HELP IF YOU NEED IT!!! I know you have family and friends close by that will help you for anything. Good luck! I hope I have said something helpful! Let us know how it goes when he is gone!

So my husband doesn't travel for work but he works so much at times it seems like he is traveling. I have found it easier to cope if I keep myself occupied...plan activities for you, with and without your kids. It helps take the edge off of everyone and breaks up the everyday routine. I'm down for a play date if you want to meet up!

Don't stay in the house and make sure you hang out with friends. And make sure they take naps!!!!

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...
