More July

 Our neighbors gave Brooke this bike. Just what we need, more kid's bikes!  William would get really mad unless he could ride it.
 We made some peanut butter kiss cookies.  William was a fan.  Brooke is still talking about them.
 I decided at the end of summer, I am going to take each kid on a date to dinner and school shopping.  Hoping it would make school shopping a little more fun. Hailey and I went to Texas Roadhouse.  Her first experience with those awesome rolls.  It was so fun and it was great to go out with Hailey.  She is turning into a very sweet and polite girl.  
 Went and got some school clothes and she got some of the colored hair extension things.  I about cried because it has just been weird to see her get bigger and have a style all her own.  But I am so excited for her and all her new adventures!
 We went to a church pioneer party.  Blake was studying but we had a great time.  There were pioneer games and a pie eating contest.  This was the lesson on the Title of Liberty.
 They also made these pioneer dolls.  They still love them!
 Brooke made me this sweet picture.  She is a great girl.  She has lots of great ideas and cares about people's feelings.
This banana split cake is heavenly. It is my mom's recipe and every time I smell fresh bananas, I can taste it!

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...

6 months and counting....I am happy I don't have to have another baby shower and be measured to see how big my belly is!! I love red hair that can do anything! The First Ever Painted Bell Wall...thanks to Blake's brother Spencer. It turned out just like I wanted! Thanks! Spencer came to visit for a week and sadly this is about the only picture I got of the Spencers. Bummer! Hailey and Nolan, my sister's baby! He is such a cutie! My adorable grandpa Terry who turned 80 this month. What happens when you turn your back for 10 minutes to talk to a friend on the phone. Duh! Dillon came to play and this was just too cute! Spencer's usual face... Washing the car=an hour of fun and very tired kids=long nap for kids and a break for mom I found a website of creative snack ideas for kids. This actually made the kids eat vegetables and like them too!
