Easter

This was our first Easter on our own as a family....EVER!! But it turned out great.

My 3 Easter bunnies. William was more interested in sleeping. It is sure hard to get a decent picture of 4 kids!!
Their first ever picture with the Easter Bunny. I think the Easter Bunny is lame o, but they thought he was awesome. Minus Hailey. And william.=)
We went to a community egg hunt one Saturday while Blake was studying. We missed the hunt by a few minutes, but still had lunch and a bouncy house and played at the park. The kids were happy to get out of the house and do something fun. I had been a bit tired (obviously) and accidentally threw away my keys! A nice lady helped me go through the nastiest garbage can and thankfully I found them. That lady deserved a medal!!


We decorated eggs and our friends Sarah and Chris Wright came over and brought the kids cookies. Sarah has been so great. She helped look for rentals for us, helped unpack and adopted the kids! We love having them over whenever they can!
Ready for church. Spencer sure looks thrilled.=) William and I stayed home and slept and ate. Well, he ate and I fed him!
Nanah was with us for Easter and gave the kids these awesome glasses and the cute Easter clothes. They love them!
The Easter Bunny came after church. The kids were a little spoiled this year because the Easter Bunny felt a little guilty about the family moving in the middle of the school year, ignoring the kids while packing and having a new baby all within a month's time.
Counting up the eggs to make sure all 107 were found. There were only 104. We will probably come across some when we're mowing.=)
We have the greatest neighbors right next door. Grandma Barb and Darrell. The kids love them. They love the kids. They help with gardening and worm digging and teasing. Brooke loves Darrell. She just loves "Papas" in general. They have made us feel so welcome here and have fun chatting with them.

We have some great neighbors out here who put on an Easter egg hunt for the kids. They were very happy to participate!

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...
