3 Days Kid Free!


Backwards picture of course! My mom watched our kids for 3 whole days so that we could go to the Dave Mathews Concert that we got free tickets to. It was great. I can't believe that we used to live kid-free! We actually enjoyed the six hour drive and wrote our bucket lists. (Mine was much longer than Blake's. Have more time to think about that stuff during the day!) We saw the movie Inception on (insert announcer voice here) IMAX 6-story tall screen. Really, I didn't care about that, but the guys were super excited. Ate awesome food! Went to IKEA for the first time.
Kid's gifts. Note: Buy your kids camp chairs from any trip and they will be happy forever.

We were able to spend alot of time with Blake's brother Spencer and his wife Kellie. We always have kids and they love our kids, but it was so cool to get in and out of the car without crying, seatbelts, spilling, naptime, etc!
The Bell boys always get matching shirts when they get together. We have sooo many now!
Awaiting the concert! Dave Mathews was awesome (minus a few selective f-words). He sounded just like his cd's. It was Blake's first concert and it was great!


Blake always wanted to get married in the Salt Lake temple, but I thought that everyone gets married there, so we didn't. We got married in the fabulous Las Vegas temple! Anyway, we did a session at the Salt Lake temple and took some "wedding shots" while we were there. It was so fun.

We went to Cabella's and the boys had to spend some time in the gun room. Fun all around, let me tell you!

We went to Ruth's Diner from Diner's Drive In's and Drives. I had cinnamon roll french toast and yes, I ate it all, even though I was about to bust. Who eats that way everyday?!
Had to take a picture of these sunflowers for Hailey. They were all over the place off the side of the road near my Aunt's house. She was so nice to let us stay with her. We slept in till 10 and it was lovely!

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...
