4 th of July

We went to our annual 4th of July Parade down town. I always enjoy going and watching the kids reaction seeing all the fun floats.  The kids love the candy part of course.  

Montana trip

We made it to the farm! The first thing the kids did was take a ride with Dad on the ATV

 Although it was a sad reason we were all getting together all the Bells were still the Bells. We had a great time chit-chatting, chasing kids, doing hair and being silly.

 Liam doing everyones hair.

 Grandpa P trying to hold on to this squrimy little one.

 Love this look "I am going to get you Grandma"

 "Gotcha!"

 SO glad Scott was with us. He took the kids on rides all the time and was just there to help 100% of the time whith wahtever anyone needed. 

 All the cousisn getting pulled by Scott.

We did some fire works.

The kids hid behind the sled.

We also went to the park after we swam at the city pool.

We all love and miss you Teresa! Untill we meet  again!

Trip to Utah

Aaron had to travel down to Utah for work near where Tina live so we came aloong. It was a fast fun trip.

 We played at the park outside Tina's place.

 The swings are really long so it was fun to swing with the kids.

 The kids got along most of the time.

 We walked to Cabellas. Kristy and Mike joined us.

Taking pictures with the statue.The morning we left though we got the horrible new that Aarons Mom was in the hospital with no response. It was a sad drive home. We were not aware of what all that happened we talked to lots of family wanting to hear the best news possible but not knowing if that was what was going to happen.  Everything was on hold to wait and see if she could come out of the induced coma. When we got home Aaron and his brother took a trip to Montana to see her. They did not make it in time she had died on the way. Summer and I car-pulled up to Montan a day later for the funeral. So thankful that Scott came to help out with the kids.

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day I got to see my kids sing to me at church and hear wonderful thoughts of Mother's. I got to chat with my friends at church while eating cheesecake.

  When I got home my kids smothered  me with kisses, hugs and presents.

 Yummy red vines from colby!

 Adorable tile that says "Happy Mother's Day"

 I also got to take pictuers with them which is what  I really wanted to do.

 I am so thankfull to be a mother to these little rascals as well as....

 a wife to my amazing hot husbad! Aaron got me a set of really nice frying pans a few days ago that I have already used and LOVE.

Cheney's visit April 2013

Lizzy and JT came to visit for a week while their mom and dad went on a cruise!

All the kids love their veggies especailly when they can make funny faces with them.

Of couse the only time I got them to sit still was while they ate.

It was so nice out we had a few days of doing picnics out side.

We also did our nails with Hali's new nail polish that she got from her Birthday.

Hali's Birthday Party

Hali's 6th birthday was a Care Bear/ My little pony Birthday, she could not decide.

I loved how her cupcakes turned out!

Hali and  I had  too much fun making the pinata and decorating the house.

 
 When her friends arrived I had them decoreate their goodie bags. We also played  a version of hot potato but with a care bear.

 Cake Time!

Pinata Time! 

Braclet And necklace from Lizzy

M&M's and rainbow nail polish from Brook.

Hali loved all her presents and could not be happier to have lots of cousins and friends to play with.

I just could not be happier with my Miss Hali. She is fun loving, outgoing and a great cheerleader for me and her friends. I love that she dances and makes up her own songs. She is kind to everyone and thinks of others feelings before doing things most of the time.

I love you Hali and am so proud of you!
