HE's here!! And has a name!!

It's a BOY!! He is little ball of love!

• 7lbs 15 oz
• 18 1/4 inches long
• 2.5 weeks early

I never knew it would be so hard to come up with a name. We had thought of the name Eli but weren't that sure and when he came out that was for sure not his name. I definitly will not have another kid without having a name. I lost many hours of sleep over this laying in bed trying to figure out his name, the one that went with his face. We knew there was a name for him, but could not figure it out. We came up with a few but were a little unsure. So for all of you who are wondering who this little guy is, we are glad to introduce...............

Anson Jacques Bell

(Jacques is said like Jakes... not with some kind of accent)
(pictures to come soon!!)

Computer Wiz

Mason loves to play games on the Friend website, and has mastered using the computer. When he's done with a game he pushes the back button, finds a new game and scrolls down so its in the right place. It's a little scary to think that a 3 year old knows how to do what he wants on the computer already. He's been good about it and takes his turn then when it's Kinbree's turn he teaches her how to do everything... or just does it for her!

35 weeks

• I'm 35 weeks now, and feel like it.
  
• It has been a really easy pregnancy beside the back pain the last few months, and when I sit in a position too long my hips get stuck. Literally.
  
• The baby is head down now, and I can tell.
  
• The gender will be a surprise. We have a girls name, but no boys name (any suggestions?). My thought is that it's a girl, but now I am a little unsure.
  
• I have been exhausted the last tri, but the kids let me take a nap everyday.
  
• Mason and Kinbree are SUPER excited.
• Still no stretch marks :)!
  
• If this baby comes the same time as Mason and Kinbree it will be here June 30.
  
• Due date-July 17th
• Pretty much I am blessed with super easy pregnancies, and deliveries. Were super excited, but not so sure if were ready, and praying this baby isn't born in the car. We're shooting for a 45 min labor if I stick with the same pattern that has been going. We'll let you know how it all goes.

Camping.....well sort of!

The GAng!

This must have been before Cameron broke the chair!! Too Funny!

Manning the fire

Best Buds!

It was the perfect temperature to still have snow. When you got hot we just had to go take a dip in the snow. Mason was making a snow angel!

When we were shooting the kids wanted to hide in the trunk because it was too loud! It kept them entertained for quite a while.

We have been itching to go camping soo bad, but it has been raining every weekend for the past month, so Memorial day we decided to pack up and go to our FAVORITE camping spot with the Freemans and do a little dutch oven BBQ chicken, potatoes, and peach coobler (mmm..it was sooo good), hiking, and shooting. Everything minus the sleeping in a tent. We had tons of fun and it felt almost as if we were camping! We didn't waste one second of good weather, and started to pack up right as it began to rain again. What a FUN Day!!

Bowling and a whole lot of Fun!

Our plans this weekend for camping failed because of all the rain. But we still had a great time. We got together with the Freeman's and Cox's and had a fab pizza party making our own pizza's and then hitting up some cheap bowling. It was the first time we took the kids bowling and they loved it. The little shoes were especially cute!

Boise

You can't tell from this picture, but Kinbree could not get enough of baby Brinley

Mason did a good job taking our picture :) You can see the baby bump. I am 28 weeks!

(Sorry for all the hazy pictures, the kids LOVE taking picture and must have had sticky fingers)

We went to Boise this past weekend for my niece Adelines baptism. We had lots of fun. We hit up a few garage sales, went to the movie Oceans (it was a little disappointing), visited with family, and just relaxed. It was nice to go on a mini vacation, and be able to spend a few extra days since we're done with school, and enjoy the spring weather.

We've made our decision...

And we are going to Gonzaga!! This really isn't any of a surprise, since we were pretty sure we were going to go there anyways, but now it is official. We are excited for this new adventure in our lives, although we will really miss it here.

Easter

Painting eggs the weeks before with the Freemans:

All the Kids enjoying their dinner (Thanks Harley for giving up your chair so all the kids could sit around the kids table :)

Getting ready for the big egg hunt

Kinbree with all her goods! (I can't believe how grown up she looks)

Mason pocketing his money. He was the winner of the Golden Egg! 5 whole bucks. That also went straight to his pocket. He was a rich boy by the end of the night!

Showing off their bunny ears

Easter Morning!

We had a great Easter! We went to a few family parties, and then Easter Sunday enjoyed it all to ourselves watching General Conference and remembering our Savior Jesus Christ.

It was a Miracle

All I have to say is miracles happen every day! Last night we went swimming for a ward party. Both Mason and Kinbree loved it, but especially Kinbree. She kept wanting me to let go of her and let her swim by herself (she is also very independent). We were having tons of fun, when Chance left me and the kids in the shallow end for a minute to go shoot some balls with all the guys. I just sat there chatting away when I see someone frantically swimming after someone. It was little Kinbree bobing up and down in the water trying her hardest to stay up. I got over to her about the same time and grabbed her, and put her on the side, hoping she would cough up the water or something. She was able to keep herself up out of the water somehow to keep getting a little air, but also a ton of water. She finally was able to get her breath back on her own but just let me hold her for a while, and then returned to her normal self and kept playing. I can't figure out how she got so far out by herself and didn't completely drown. After she got her breath back she told me she was trying to swim to papa. We are just so grateful that it wasn't anymore serious and that we still have our little princess. It makes me want to cry everytime I think about it, but I know someone must have been watching over.

It was a BEAUtiful Day

It was one of the first really nice days we have had, so of course we had to spend it all out doors. Mason caught a lady bug on a stick and named him Frankly. He carried him around for a long time till he flew away. I thought he ate him for a minute because he was showing me his mouth, but he informed me that is yucky. It was so nice to be out!!

Birthdays Birthdays

Chance's and my birthday are 3 days apart, so we always do a lot of celebrating in March! It was pretty laid back this year. We blew candles out almost every night that week, because why not? The kids loved it. Chance decorated the house and made DELICIOUS burgers for me and on his b-day the kids and I went and got a Great Harvest breakfast and went and had breakfast with him at work! Then on Friday Chance and I went out by ourselves to Olive Garden to celebrate a bit more.

Miss Helper!

Anyone need help cleaning your house? Kinbree would love to help! She's only 2 and already a clean freak just like her mother! If ever she can get a hold of some spray and a rag she'll clean all the walls. What a great helper!

Time with Papa

This semester Chance has been able to work a few less hours and come home and watch the kids on my long days away at school. They have enjoyed every minute of it. Here are just a few of their adventures...

Sleding at Grandpa's

Kinbree LOVES to have her nails painted, and when I came home one day this is what I came to.
How Precious! Chance is doing a great Job!!

It Happened SO Fast

2 weeks after applications were in we got the call...they wanted an interview the next week. We made plans, called my sister to leave the kids with her, and we were headed to Spokane. The Interview went Great!! Chance says it was the best interview EVER! and Today 3 days after the interview we got the call..... WE'VE been ACCEPTED to Gonzaga!! one of our top 3 picks!

Snipet of the Future!

"Take her Mom, Take her"

"I want to hold her!"

"Don't barf on me"

"Kinbree be soft"

Yes it's true. This is going to be our lives in a few months. In July we will become a family of 5!! What!!!! Crazy!! We made a quick trip this weekend to Utah for a shower for our new sweet cousin, baby Brinley, and got to experience a little how life will be with a little one and two big ones! Kinbree LOVES it, Mason's not so sure, and we're just excited.
