LAZY!

Ok, so as many of you already know I am pregnant, yay! We are very excited about the little bean and are hoping beyond hopes that it is a boy. Samantha is certain it is, as is Sydney, so here's to hoping. With pregnancy comes sheer and unadulterated laziness and yucky-ness, thus the lack of posts, dirty house, and hungry family :) So having said that I hope you will excuse the lack of photos for the time and I will be updating soon. All my love :)

SNOW DAY!!!!

Finally we got some grrrreat packing snow and made a big beautiful snowman and snow forts that were talk of the town.
What a cute bunch of Bell's :)

Samantha's name!

Creation!

So due to my sister-in-laws inspiration, I created Samantha's name for her room. It turned out pretty cute for my first attempt. Sam loves it too!

Cookies

Who doesn't just love cookies! This is how we celebrated Super Bowl Sunday! Needless to say the pile was seriously diminished by the end of the night. Yumm, I know that you want one, too bad :)

Hello all!

Yes. we are still here and happy! I have taken surprisingly few pictures these last few months and I feel horrible! But I do still have the cutest girls on the planet! We are approaching one of my favorite holidays, Valentines, and we have made some changes to the house and have more coming so I won't be such a slacker with pictures, oops.

Gotta love that they are posers!

Pretty in pink, thanks for the cute dress Cambria!

Here is Sydney's first pony tail! What a babe.

Goodbye for now and we will be better about pictures.

Happy Valentines, I love it!

Birthday Girl!!!

Samantha is now 4! She is so dang funny about it too, she will tell us that she can do things just because she is 4, like do dishes, reach things that are far away, what a nut!

She had a great day. Some of her favorite friends came to play before the family party, no parents allowed.

A balerina cake was requested, so here it is. I hunted all morning for those pretty balerinas!

Presents! Thanks for the jewlery box, Baby Alive, Barbie car, balerina stuff, and Dora coloring book, she loves it all and sends her love***

Well Happy Birthday beautiful we are so happy that you are ours and can't wait to see how the next year turns out.

Merry Christmas! The girls had a great morning and were so happy. Sam got her black sparkley shoes and Sydney got puupies galore!

Cute clothes!
Another big dog to tackle.

"Dad you are squishing us!"

Treats

Yes, we got snow!

Here they are ready to deliver our neighbor treats. Cookies! They had a lot of fun. Sydney's new word is "freezing!"

*Happy Holidays*

Christmas Dresses

What beauties, they are growing up so fast. I am glad that they are fun friends. They have loved this Christmas time and can't wait for Santa!

Sisters, sisters...

Sweet Sam, best part of this dress is that it twirls :)

Sydney is an angel, I hope she never grows out of snuggling, because that is the best.

The best Christmas program ever! I love watching her and her class preform, they are darling!

Sam and Shyan waiting to get started.

Singing her heart out!

Her Christmas dress was bugging her so we wore the easter dress instead, that's my girl :)

New Carpet!

So as a welcome home present Greg got ot rip up all the old carpet to prepare for the new! We are soooooo happy :)

Out with the old and in with the new!
The tree spent a few days in the kitchen, we were so glad when it was all done and had our house back to normal.

Thanks Tyrel! Here is the new stuff, the picture does not do it justice but it is so soft and so beautiful. Sydney lays down and loves how soft it is. Merry Christmas us.

Daddy's home!

Greg was missed! The girls were so happy to have their Daddy home. He brought them home these cute dolls, and me a pretty swim suit cover for when I get to go with him some day. Our week without him was adventurous, but we were oh so glad to have him back!

Mexico Man

So Greg left his three lovely girls and headed for Mexico for a week to "work." This is him hard at it, lounging on the beach toes in the sand. Actually he was bummed with his lack of work, the trucks hauling his equipment were late. That left him with plenty of time to fill with this.....

This is when they were on their sunset margaritta cruise. Cool dolphins!

Beautiful Mexico sunset, minus the margaritta :)

Syd and Jake!

Sydney was not much into decorating the tree, but she loved hanging out with her favorite friend, Jake!!!

So sweet!

Jake doubles as a chair too :)

The most wonderful time of year and one of my most favorite things of Christmas, the tree!

Greg always does the lights and he makes me do the ornaments.

Samantha was the best helper and loved the tree as much as me!

Finished product, we loved it. Sydney and Samantha play around it everyday. The ornaments are never in the same place the nexty day :)

Welcome December

Here it is the 1st of December and still no snow. The girls were happy because they got to play on their swings longer. Today was big for Sam, she learned to pump and swing all by herself way to go!

Love the hats and gloves!

Where is the snow?

Samantha found some of the things that I purchased on "Black Friday" she was thrilled with her new hat and gloves. Sydney has a matching set and they are the cutest snow bunnies around. Now we need some snow***

* What a girl!*
Look I am a snow princess!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was awesome! We spent the day at my parents, Grandma and Grandpa Spencer. The food was delicious, the company great, and of course the horse riding was a highlight.

Sam and Grandpa Steve riding Cody. Sam loves riding horses with her Grandpa :)

Rosy noses and happy faces.
Happy Turkey Day!
Later that night I plotted my early morning shopping. I found some great sale items that I wanted and could not pass up. I have never got up at 3:30 a.m. to go JC Penny's but there is always a first. The shopping was exciting and productive, we are all done with Christmas shopping, wa hoooo!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Hey ya old man! Greg turned 30 this year, wow! He spent the day just the way he wanted, he came home early from work, relaxed, played some video games, and ate his favorite dinner lasagna. He did have some responsibilities with the young men, then we came home and ate yummy cake and ice cream. We love you Dad, you're the BEST!!!

Backyard fun!

Samantha is thrilled to have her yard and swing set back. The girls have been outside and playing nearly everyday since we have been home and it has been a joy.
