April fun (2018)

Spencer read this book at school and got it for Christmas. It has some pie recipes in it so we tried this one, buttermilk pie It was good! Kind of like a lemon cheesecake.
Brooke in her school performance.
Hailey running track. She does long distance which is one mile and half a mile. 
I got to have muffins with mom with William
Spencer keeping his notes. He is a funny kid.
All city band. I love it. It is so long and hot and the kids hate it but at the end, they always play America the Beautiful and it makes me cry.
The kids love these cookies from Jana Bailey.
Hailey made mint truffles. 
Playing Blokus with William.
Cutest fireman in the world.
Teepee in the basement to make it less creepy.
I think we went to IHOP? I can't remember, I'm a year behind.


Victory over Winter!!!
Holy eyelashes
A sadder pinewood derby but we learned about being a good sport. Brooke loved it, it was her first.
Best shirt ever
Baby kitties at Barn Happy. We could have stayed there all day!



Hailey's self portrait got into an art show. My self portrait is two dots for eyes and a smile, soooo.....

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.

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...
