What Happens When I don't post for two months...

We have had a busy and fun summer and are pretty excited and ready for school to start for the first time for Hailey, but here is what we have been up to in the meantime!

Went to the Springs Preserve which is a cool educational museum about Las Vegas and the desert and stuff. The kids were super excited to go on this train, but getting them to look at the camera at the same time just wasn't happening!
Playing alot because it has been miserably hot outside. Spencer is really good at playing with Brooke.
This is how I usually find the girls in the morning. I love to hear them playing so I just leave them in there until Brooke is ready to get up. Brooke is so interactive that it is super entertaining.
Springs Preserve Super Jump by my nephew Ethan!

My dad and look how dang cute they all are!
Our friends moved (tear) and they came to play for a bit. Spencer loves this girl and I swear, if she wasn't 7 years old, we'd be planning the wedding.

Hailey took swimming lessons and her confidence in the water has been amazing.
I love Brooke's lips in this picture. She makes kissy sounds now whenever she wants a kiss. It is great.
Putting misters up for this heat!

We had a mini family reunion with all the Roger's cousins over Pioneer Day weekend. Besides Hailey throwing up sprinkler style all over the car, we had a great time!

Spencer being super excited....as always!=)
Brooke does this super cute squishy Chinese looking smile. I love it!
Spencer's "creepy face"
I made this dress out of a pillowcase. Need to put some ties on it and maybe a cute heart or flower and we'll be in business!
Spencer has been potty training and we got him some big boy underwear. He totally hugged it when he got it.
Hailey and I went on a "Girl Date" for school shopping. (post to follow for Nana Bell) We were out till 10:00 because she just had to try on everything while we were at Kohl's. It was so fun though. I tried hard to let her pick her own clothes without my input and she didn't get anything 80's looking or this hideous backpack she originally planned on..thank goodness! We got Baskin Robbins too, so perfect night!

Attempting a spray paint craft that didn't turn out that great but was still fun.
I made some superhero capes and bows for my friend's craft boutique. I guess nothing really sold, but it was still fun and I have tons of future birthday presents and Hailey's school bows all done!

There is an awesome, retro candy store here in Vegas.I went with my friend, Laurie and got these for the kids. Spencer ate his army guys in about five seconds and Hailey loved the Pop Rocks. Brooke even tried one.
Finally, Brooke is going to be a great mom. I can already tell, because she loves this baby and carries her around and pats her on the back. So cute.

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...
