4th of July and Family Fun (July 2017)

We went fishing with Danielle and her sons.  Spencer was good to get the worms on the hooks. The other kids were grossed out. I am ok doing the hooks too.


We loved fishing.  It wasn't super humid and the kids all want their own poles now.  Sounds like fun!



We went to our friend's neighborhood 4th of July parade. It was the funnest parade ever. They block off the road and the kids just ride their bikes around. I am sad we never went before!
The men and women of the block pushed mowers and had a lawn chair dance. It was Midwest perfection.
The kids decorated their bikes and themselves too.



We made a little craft for fun.
It was pretty hot out so we got the hose out for some water fun.
We went to the Bailey's house for a bbq, games and hangout. Lots of people came and it was fun.
Water balloon slingshot is always a big hit.
Teaching William some piano.
We went to a library animal day and the kids loved checking them out. They never get tired of animals.


We stopped by Scratch cupcake because it's so fun.
William always plays with this little toy whenever we go to World's Window.  He bought it with his own money this time and everyone had a great time with it.
We took Vincent one day to give his mom a break. Spencer was great to help him out.
We had a friend get together because Brooke really wanted to make cookie ice cream sandwiches.  We ended up with a whole bunch of filled water balloons. The kids had fun with alllll the friends.
Sunday walks are the best.


I love these people.








Hailey made us breakfast in bed one day.

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!
