Fun summer days!

This is Sam getting ready for preschool, making her 1st day of school necklace. She was sooo excited to get started!

Sydney is always excited for the camera to come out so she can pull her crazy face!

Lava Hot Springs

This summer was camping summer! We went to Moab, Ogden Valley, and Lava Hot Springs! Our awesome neighbors the Teuscher's have property there and it is gorgeous. Here we are at the pools and natural hot springs. I wished that I wasn't prego, I really wanted to get in, but my feet stayed nice and toasty!

This was a really, really, high diving board! Everyone thought that Greg was crazy for diving head first, what a nut!

Not my finest hour.

So here is the story. We have had this old coffee table in our basement and mostly it has been used for the girls toys to go on, or as a substitute office chair, we really need a desk chair. So as I was up late one night working on the computer, I was sitting on this table. Not in the center or anything, but on the edge. When CRACK! I was up and then I was in the center of the table on the floor! I was so shocked I hurried and got up, thankfully no blood, and went to see if the girls were still asleep because it made a massive noise! I got lots of bruises, and laughed really hard. I have never felt so fat in all my pregnant or non pregnant days. Delivery needs to happen soon before I break something else!

Down and dirty!

Life is messy and crazy and busy and beautiful. We are having a great summer and life is good. I such a slacker with the blogging these days but I have commited to catch up! So here goes! For those of you who didn't hear Greg got laid off his job at Williams and was unemployed for 3 months. He is now gainfully employed with Boeing and loving it!

I am still expecting our third baby, a girl, yes yes we know, on October 5th. It can't get here soon enough, I am HUGE!

Samantha is entering a way fun age and we are loving her to bits, she is still full of sass but now we can tease her out of most her crazy fits, yeah!

Sydney is still a total love and tease, but yes she has entered the terrible twos and is trying every last shred of patience that we have with her, so fun!

Overall we are the same crazy Bell's. We have been to movies, parks, pools, zoo, parties, and parades this summer and hopefully I can catch up on all of it, here goes nothin'!

The Best!

Before Angie and Nate took off we needed a family picture with us all there. I think that we are all pretty darn sexy.

Greg was the only one missing and yes, we missed you babe. He was away on business.

Here is the goofy shot and yes, I still need to email it to my brothers and sister. It takes me awhile to get around to all this stuff.

More party pics

Point of interest, not that I am proud of this fact, but I weigh the same as Chad! Last time that this will happen, I assure you.

The stinkin' cutest boy ever! I did not want to let him go. I loved all his snuggles and hugs.

Yumm, yumm, eat um up!

Farewell to Buttar's

This summer we were so happy to have my sweet sister and her family in town from Virginia. They are going to law school and we miss them. Sam and Sahara are close and Sydney and Scarlet are close and Gannett is the cutest boy ever! We will miss you all so much.

Sweet smiles.

Cambria, Samantha, & Sahara. Gorgeous.

Totally not posing at all, they are just naturally that cute.

Love you Angie!

Tights. Tight, tights.

Samantha and Sydney started this idea and then Greg and I helped them out a little. We laughed soooooooooo hard. So if you are ever in need of a good laugh get some panty hose and put them on your kids heads, makes for some good laughs :)

Sam at her finest. This could be blackmail latter on in life.
Silly Sydney, what a spaz :)

Hoggle Zoo

Play date time! The ladies in my area are tons of fun and arranged for a play date to the zoo. It was delightful. The animals were all out and interesting to watch, better than hiding in their cages.

Here are all the kids that toddled along with us all day and were great troopers! Fun kids and awesome Mom's.

Hey Mr. Giraffe, or Mrs. didn't really check.

He was so soft and pretty, too bad they are so aggressive.

The zebras are great creatures, I think that the ones in Michigan have a much better home though, it really is true.

Our last stop was the hippos, and then happy girls turned into monsters, which then turned into sleeping monsters on the way home and that was sooo nice, peace at last.
