Phone pictures galore

 
 


 One of the happiest times in our house is when the lego magazine comes in the mail. 
 Spencer comes and snuggles in bed with me every morning.  One of my favorite times of the day.
 Spencer missing lots of teeth! He loves to tell people that he is six and has lost six teeth!
 

Brooke being a doll! 
 The kids and I had to run a bunch of errands one day when it was freezing, so I rewarded myself with a new hat.
 Hailey and I realized we were sitting the same way one day.
 The river was frozen over on the top. It was a sheet of ice!  So amazing.
 Something I wrote was published in a real book!  It was one of my life goals, so that was pretty great.
 William has started lining up his trucks.  Cute little man.
 Spencer sandwich
 Brooke and I did some yoga in the winter to calm her down after too much time inside.  She says I can't do these hard moves because they are in "Spanish".
 Spencer put on William's coat one day.  Hilarious!
 Painting with William is always an adventure.
 Hailey reading with Grandpa when they came to visit. He got them a Shel Silverstein book. 
 We went birthday shopping with Nanah when they came to visit.  It was so fun to see them and spend some good time with them. 
 William jumps right in when Blake has a project going. 
 William throwing a monster fit.  Welcome to the terrible 2's!
 Hailey's giant pancake so had for her birthday breakfast.  That was a fun day!
  Ice skating for her birthday.  She did pretty well for her first time!  
 William trudging through the snow.  What a trooper!
 Valentines from the kids from school. 
 The snow was incredible!  I have never seen so much snow in my life or ice/snow/hail.  What a mess!
 Brooke was really tired one day and fell asleep like this.
 Wearing swimsuits in the winter because that's what we do.  I had to hide Brooke's because she wanted to wear it outside!
 Making a snow fort on the side of the house. 
Hailey eating her annual icicle. Nothing like dirty frozen water!

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...
