Happy 2nd Birthday, Brookie Cookie!


On Brooke's actual birthday, we did all of our favorite activities. Park (it was 110 degrees, kill me!), McDonalds with friends (she was given a unicorn in a purse and sleeps with it every night), library, her favorite pizza and chocolate cake. We love this cutie!! She has brought so much happiness and entertainment into our lives. She is so independent and so hilarious! She is always doing things to make us laugh: dancing, singing, just being silly!
Don't you just want to squeeze this chubby mama?!
Yay for birthdays!
A very tired Brooke at the "after party" hanging out in the doll stroller Nanah got her. The kids fought over this thing for days!

Look at that sweet angel face! I made some baby cupcakes for her day because she just LOVES babies!! They turned out a bit creepy, but she didn't mind!
Brooke's favorite past time and favorite mess: play do
Reading an adorable card from Grandma Terry. Brooke got quite the haul! Baby dolls, ponies, magna doodle, cute clothes, books. She was entertained for 2 weeks!! So happy that Brooke is part of our family. She is wild and crazy and we love that about her!

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...
