Hailey's 7th Birthday

Hailey turned 7 on February 8th. That is how behind I am on our blog! Hailey can drive me absolutely bonkers with her emotional upheavals, but she is a great helper. She loves babies. She loves Spencer and Brooke and she is a really sensitive soul. She cares about people and has always been a good friend at school and is great at helping. She loves reading and writing and jump roping. She told me she wants to learn how to make rolls. She is super creative and loves drawing and art. We are so lucky to have her around. She gets the kids playing imagination games and it is always so fun to listen to. We love her!
Hailey woke up to this great hat that my friend Tara knitted! It matches one I saw at Target, but knew Tara could do it better and I would much rather pay her than Target!=) She has an etsy shop too.
For dinner, Hailey requested lasagna. This lasagna is so time consuming to make but always worth it! It is so delicious!!
For her birthday breakfast, she chose overnight french toast casserole. This stuff is so delicious!!
We went to her school to bring treats to her class. It was fun to see her in the lunchroom with her friends.
Grandma and Grandpa came and brought her some fun crafty gifts. She loved them!

Hailey's primary teacher, Valerie Brummett, brought candy and a balloon for her. It was a nice surprise for her!
We got her this cool make up set and she loves it!
This cake was super great! Hailey loves chocolate and so do I, so I have no problem making it! This is the recipe.
Blake took Hailey out for her birthday dinner. She wore her new birthday dress and they went to Olive Garden. They both love that place and it was good for them to bond!
Hailey fell down the stairs and scraped up her back so she chilled for a little bit with her new birthday computer and her cute outfit from Aunt Sarah and Uncle Clint. Nanah and Papa Bell sent her money for her birthday to shop! She is a saver so she still has it!
This has nothing to do with birthdays, well, not Hailey's birthday! But my lovely friend Laurie (who is also my cousin, but I call her my friend!) had a sweet baby boy named Elliot. The kids were practicing how to be big brothers/sisters and were really entranced by him!

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...
