Four Jingle Bells

Hailey is in a co-op preschool in the ward and was so excited to start. She was ready a half hour before school even started and kept asking if it was time to go. She is pretty psyched about her Tinkerbell backpack too. She did such a great job in preschool and came home with some fun crafts. I just love the stage she is at right now. She is turning into such a big girl and against all odds, has become one of my best friends!! Who says girls and their moms can't be friends? Here is the new leaf part. I have no clue how to do girl hair. So, my friend, Katie told me about these cool websites with step by step instructions on how to do it. It has been surprisingly fun and Hailey loves it because she gets to spray the water bottle! The sites are on my friend's list if anyone is interested. I am in a blogging mood apparantly. This is the infamous green dress that I got her a few months ago while Blake was out of town. We were in Sears and all of a sudden she is freaking out...

We have been doing some fun crafts recently. Hailey is pretty creative and at a great age right now. I got these from Oriental Trading for 50 cents each. Already cut out, so less work for mom=a good thing! Sarah came over the other day to hang out and watch Ellen. We both love Ellen. The lady is totally hilarious!! I don't care for her lifestyle, but everyone should have a good daily dose of Ellen! Sarah and I had a goal when she turned 18 that we would go see Price is Right. Well, we changed it to go see Ellen. So, someday, I swear!! Spencer loves crawling up the stairs and it is getting so fast that most of the time he is at the top before I know he is gone. Then he sits on the top step and looks down at me and laughs. He loves hanging his leg over his booster seat during mealtimes. In fact, he love mealtimes.... We have yet to get a good picture of this, but we will hold Spencer over our heads and say Superbaby and he will but his arms and legs out. It is hilarious. ...

Out of order, but here's an after picture. My friend, Nicole has two boys who have great haircuts, so she did Spencer's too. He was so great and sat still as well as an 11 month old baby can! He got about 3 inches of hair cut off. And my friend Sari asked me if I dyed his hair because it was so white/blonde after and no, I didn't dye his hair. Who the heck does that?! Here's a before. Just a freaky/funny picture. He has had 8 teeth for three months now!! Two cute guys ready for church. The haircut makes him look like such a little boy (Spencer not Blake.=)

Here are some funny little stories that I wanted to share..... When we were at the beach, my mom and I saw these benches and were like "they can mean hot babe." So, of course, I had to sit there and take a picture for Blake to put in his office....then, I realized, hey, it means Heather Bell (I'm not really that dumb), so it is even more appropriate! Hailey rode around in the beach house with her puppy much of the time. I think you'll get a kick out of this one. We were at the pier one particularly windy night and woosh, suddenly my skirt flew right up showing off my "bloomers" (as Sarah refers to them). So, of course, Hailey laughs her head off and now tells everyone that she saw my "boo boos".... This is pretty nerdy. But have you ever gotten everyone dressed and then realize that you are all wearing the same color? At least it is a different shade and at least my boo boos aren't showing. Sarah wanted a new facebook picture, so here ...
