Skipping rocks season is here!

We stuck around for Spring Break.  There was plenty to do.  Went to the Army museum and the kids always have to take a picture by these bronzed soldiers. 

Blake is the skipping rocks master.  He got 7 skips this time. 

Gorgeous warmer sunsets are coming!

Spencer and William were hanging out being good brothers and it was really cute to watch them together.

William got trapped on this wall and Blake helped him down.  I love how much he loves his kids.

Blake and Hailey finally got out on her birthday dinner to Olive Garden.  We had been so busy, but better late than never.  She looks so grown up here.

The kids made a leprechaun trap for St. Patricks day and they almost got him this year!

William and I in the army tank.  He loves going in there!

William seeing how fast he can get cans into a box.

Astronaut William. What a cute face!

Gorgeous!!!  So happy we get to see these sunsets!

Another one of Spencer's favorite jackets.  It was worn out so much that it got a hole in it. I had to secretly get rid of it but he compensated with his blue jacket. He is very easy to clothe because he always wants to wear the same stuff.

We made some rainbow cupcakes and William loved doing it. He is a little chef.  
Spencer was interested because the frosting was green, his favorite color.
Visited the John Deere museum out here for the first time.  There was some pretty neat stuff there.


Spencer and our friend, Annie trying to lift like a horse would.  What a challenge!

Brooke and Annie have become good friends. 

The kids stayed occupied for a long time making colored pencil drawings with stencils at the museum.

We had to get cupcakes at the cupcake place.  William was so excited about carrying Blake's that he dropped it.  Still tasted awesome!


This was Hailey's creation.  They all made such cool pictures.  We had a great Spring Break this year. I love having the kids home with me, even when they fight.

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 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...
