Happy Birthdays

Am I allowed to say Happy Birthday to me? Well, I am going to this time because of the "fun" stuff we did on my birthday!=) In Vegas, you plant your grass near winter so it won't fry in the sun. So, we did that, which was actually a pretty nice present for me so the kids and I would have somewhere else to go during the day to play.

The end of all the work!

Blake has been working so hard to make our yard look great. I love these flowers, but if I had my way, we would have all purple flowers!


Me at 28. I was telling my friend, I thought I would have done more by now. But, you know, I am pretty satisfied with my life and all that has happened. So, I guess I will just stay 28 for the next ten years or so!

Clayton was nice to come help and made it just in time to help shovel the poo.=)

Here is my real present. We have never had a real bed set with a bunch of pillows and stuff. So, my parents, Blake, Blake's parents and Clayton donated to the fund and we got this. I love it!


The kids were the supervisors. And this is before we put the manure down, so no, Spencer isn't eating poo!



Doing the hard work: seed spreading. Notice the shirt: Rick's forever!!!



For Blake's birthday, we went to Lance Burton, a magician down here. It was Blake's first Las Vegas show and he loved it. It is pretty amazing to see a car disappear and to wonder where the heck it went?! Blake's birhthday was in September, but he has been so busy with school, that this was the first chance we had to go and lucky for us, they had a buy one get one free special.

Happy Birthday Heather!!! Your new bed set looks awesome and how exciting to have grass and a nice yard for next summer! Did you guys have fun at Lance Burton? We went while we were there. It was pretty cool. Happy Birthday to Blake too!

Happy Birthday to both of you! I love that picture of you by yourself- beautiful! I love your bedspread too. For some reason it just makes a huge difference to have a bedspread you love. If you weren't good at making your bed before, it will never go unmade again. :)

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...
