February 2019


Every blanket in the house. We do what we can to make it through winter.
 Happy 14th birthday Hailey! She wanted donuts for breakfast. Easy!
 Brooke helping decorate
Awesome Harry Potter pop up book for a gift. She loves Harry Potter! 
 Spencer's happy place
 We watched The Greatest Showman for her birthday night. Hailey has been such a good member of our family. She helps out willingly and loves to learn new things. She works hard and doesn't say mean things about others. She is always up for playing a silly game or doing anything, really! She has a good testimony and tries to do her best. We love her!
 Another flute concert!
 Heidi came over for Hailey's birthday dinner. It was fun to have new friends around!
 That's a bright fire! She must be getting old!
 William has been working on his reading and is getting better and better! It helps to sit by a nice fire!
 Brooke got a reading award!
 Valentine' Day is a fun one to celebrate.
 The sink got double clogged on Valentine's Day. I had so many orders and dishes. It was a pain in the butt! We worked on getting it unclogged for a long time, Blake comes home from work and fixes it in five minutes. So glad he is around!

 Spencer's Valentine's box. USA themed. 
 William's train valentines box
 Brooke's fox Valentine's box and she won second place!
 William has a mega crush on Paige down the street. She was the first friend we had over and they play great together. Apparently, he asked her to be his Valentine and she said yes. I didn't know anything about this until Paige's mom called asking what "Valentine" meant? William said "a card and a cupcake." So, that's what we did!
 Cute puppy Paige gave to William
 Blake and I just went to Boise Fry. It was great. Low key Valentines!
 Paige loving her Valentine.
 For Hailey's birthday, she wanted to shopping. It was so fun. She actually had some stuff that fit her this time! It's nice that she's grown. We went to Sodalicious too which was so delicious. Ha. Loved our time together.
 I almost deleted this but it's just too good! One of Hailey's friends took a picture of her dancing at the church dance.
Went to the mountains one day to sled. We weren't super prepared but still managed to have a good time. It's nice to not have constant snow around our house!
 William helping with the snow removal. It takes no time!
 We went to the school and made a decent snowman!


 We visited the Bells for the weekend and I think this is the only picture we got! Grandpa tracks the grandkids heights and they love passing each other up.
Brooke hit her head at school one day, so she came home early and hung out with me. It didn't stop her from doing her homework!
Practicing for the future.

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...
