Update already part 2!

William and I enjoying life.
 

Brooke was choosing a prize at Target one day and she had a hard time choosing between all of these!  She's so funny.
We had to get out of the house when it kept snowing so we got ice cream. It was probably 20 degrees and it was so fun.
May Day is the most adorable Midwest holiday.  People leave little treats on each other's doorsteps.  Even if it rains, they are still out dropping treats off.  It was fun to come home to little treats on our doorstep.
It was Wacky Day at the kid's school.  Hailey went all out. Spencer is obviously really crazy because he wore mismatching socks.
We found this Barbie house for $30 at a garage sale.  Score!  It has gotten a lot of use.

Spencer and Blake hanging out.  Spencer playing air guitar
Hailey taught herself to roller skate.  She is quite the pro!
William digging in the dirt just like all little boys should do!
Playing piggy back.  They are so cute.
I went with Hailey to museum school one day.  I got to help out with the kids and I learned a lot about Iowa history.  It was so fun to have a special day with her.
I thought this was awesome.  I love the old shops where you get more customer service and interaction.  It was part of the museum school.
Spencer performed in his kindergarten singing program.  He did such a great job. He knew all the songs and was so excited.  
What cute guys. They have similar smiles.
Brooke in a nutshell
Hailey and her awesome teacher Mrs. O'Dell.  She has been a great teacher for her.  She learned so much and was so sad when school was over.  We saw her a lot during the summer though, at different places.

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...
