Duck Creek

Duck Creek has officially stolen our hearts :)

 

We caught horny toads, caught one measly little fishy, Went on Lots of long muddy rides, We relaxed, we chopped wood, we swung, we built a teeter totter. We looked at wild life, we shot a few rock chucks (ok, Pete, Brandon and Jai did that)   Jaiden learned to drive the fourwheeler (non automatic). Brandon and Leshal took on a few food challenges and won.

We climbed into a cave... but didn't go too deep.  Kona leaped through the stream and long grass!

We helped find a 3 yr old boy who wandered from camp and had been lost for an hour. Adam found him and mama was soo grateful! We prayed on our knees after I creid real hard after seeing her so desperate and thinking Id need the same support for my own.

 

We had a Amazing trip to duck creek as usual!!!

The Bells are back in Town!!

Kim, Grey, and Jax came ot town least week. It was kind of a hectic week because School started and so did Soccer and Piano. Plus I had to squeeze in packing for our trip to. Thankfully we did manage to have fun with them and they worked around our schedules :)

Get It!!

This boy never see to amaze me and how well he takes to things. He cruises on the rip stick like he's been doing it forever. He can easily steer it right between two people. Can't wait to get him on a snowboard again. 

Me....not so much. I fell hard kn

on my butt right after this picture!!

Meeting baby Jace

Have is home and the kids got to meet him. My bronchitis was still lingering and I didn't want to spend it (even though I've read its not contagious and no one around me got it) I would rather be safe than sorry. And since he's just a little guy who just had surgery we had the kids wear masks to.  The kids loved him but my boys were especially loving on his tinyness.  Sooo happy he's home with mom and dad!! 

Second and Third Grade

These big boys have stared second and third grade. They make this mama proud how big and independent they are getting. This was the first year that I wasn't a little sad.  The past three years have felt like bigger milestones.  Kindergarten of the first full days of first grade always break my heart a little. Haha.  

This year I was just execited because they were excited. This year the boys are in year round school. Most people think its a real bummer. Pete and I don't really have a huge prefrenec because as working parents not a whole lot changes. We still wake up and get ready and leave the house early in the morning. This won't make us miss out on hanging out at pools all day because we only do that on the weekend anyways. 

In a way this will be nice for us because when the kids are on break Pete and I will be slower at work and have more time for fun with the kids. Summer usually means very long work days and exhausted parents when we get home. So were excited to see what this year will bring. 

Here's to a good 2013-2014 school year for two awesome boys!!
