I Love My Kids AKA Picture Overload

No, that is not blood....it is Brookey getting a hold of a red marker before we saw her. And to the right....is the culprit who didn't put her markers away!

First swim of the year
My mom, Michelle and I got together and made a bunch of apricot jam. Makes me want scones!


Spencer riding on his super cool motorcycle. He is such a funny guy!

My little Brookey brings me such joy. She is such a wonderful blessing in my life. Not temperamental, always happy and fun and loving.
Hungry Spencer!!

Going to decorate the kids bathroom with cute pictures of them in the bath.

I don't say enough about Blake...he is such a great husband and dad. He is always busy fixing something, studying, helping with the kids or doing his church calling. He has such a great and positive attitude and he helps me to remember what is important in life. I love him!



Brooke is standing up to everything now and wants to walk so bad.
Our ward had a sock hop. The kids loved it and were exhausted after hours of dancing. They still talk about it. We need to have a sock hop every night!
Hailey and her friend Anjie after they put make up on each other! Yikes!!!

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...
