I made these orange rolls for Blake because Grandma Bell used to make them and he loves them so much.

 It was William's 7th birthday so we brought some treats for his class. He loved passing them out and shyly smiled during Happy Birthday. Love his cute smile and sweet heart.
Wacky William. Seriously where does he get it? (Hailey, Spencer, Brooke...)
I know William had birthday pictures but they aren't here for some reason! I know he had a wonderful birthday and loved some new toys. William can sure be crazy but he is also a great hard worker, a loving boy and full of energy. He is so good to his friends and family and sleeps great at night because he runs around all day! We love William!
We had a little priesthood session cookie decorating get together. Lots of kids and lots of fun.
 The kids mixed together a bunch of random spices and ingredients and had a wonderful time. It was very stinky and oily! 
 Tried some new foods for conference weekend. We don't fry much but when we do, we go all out!
Conference walk! We have to get the energy out somehow!


 Sweet message Brooke left
 I love Spencer!
 Discovered mini egg cookies. yum.
 Our first time at 5K4RJ. It was sweet of Jordan to set it up again and a good amount of money was raised for stroke awareness and a student scholarship. We all walked/ran it and Logan was pretty beautiful! We had a good time with the Bells. We swam in the pool, ate pizza in the hotel and Jordan invited us to his apartment for a late movie. He was awesome to let us hang out with his cool college self.
 William's music performance in his favorite outfit, ha!
 Hot tub fun!
 Hailey was asked to make a design for some shirts to sell. It was pretty cool!
 Brooke made a little garden in a cup for a science project and it grew!
 While Blake was in India for work for a month, I was asked to put together the Crenshaw ward youth auction. It took over the whole month but it was successful and I was so happy when it was over! I have never done anything like that before. Thank goodness for people in the ward who know who to ask for help!

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...
