window fun

the things that kids can play with that aren't toys.

for those that watch american idol

the bells with the runner up.... Blake Lewis.. yeah we saw him on xmas eve at a local diner here in logan UT. called Angies. it's real yummy. if you don't know who everyone is in the picture or don't know anyone in the picture i'll tell you. left to right raelynn(me) brakken(my oldest son) connor( joels step brother that lives in florida) BLAKE LEWIS, joel(my husband) and jordan(joels little(Gay) brother) and the person behind the camera is scott(debbies husband and joels step dad, who also lives in florida) and he's holding madden(my youngest boy). you can't see them but they are just as important as the people in the picture. and you are probably wondering, where is debbie? well she is at the table eating, she didn't want to get her picture taken with blake lewis.

p.s. jordan the gay is from your brother.

sleepy head

this was brakken taking a nap.

now organized

for those that looked at my blog before, sorry for the chaos. i had joels help and now.... walla, it's organized. thanks for my husband.

i lost!

ok so we played the game CONSEQUENCE with debbie (joels mom) and Jordan (joels little (gay) brother) and i thought for sure that joel was going to lose. the three of us (joel, jordan, and myself) were at like 9,000 points. so i thought..... wrong.... I LOST!!!! and the loser had to eat 1 tsp. of SALT!! salt! how gross. this is the kind of fun we have at the bells house. p.s. jordan, joel wanted the gay part in.. joel says, haha!!!

changed the color again

now as you can see our blog is tans and creams, instead of pink or green. we both like this one now.

bath time

our boys at bath time. maddie loves to take pictures. don't you think it's funny how brakken is tan and maddie is..... NOT!!!

About the game CONSEQUENCE

well brooke and others that see joely losing. it's a game called consequence our friends taught us. it involves 6 dice and a new consequence every time you play. you roll the dice and the dice add up points. and the loser (always JOEL) has to do the consequence. how do you lose you ask... well you are the last to get to 10,000 points. you might think that's hard but i don't have a problem losing, so maybe you should ask joel...hahaha lol

Why NOT pink?

alright my blog was pink until JOEL woke up!!! so we compromised and now it's green.. i don't think men understand that women need color in our lives. and my color i need is pink. maybe next time i'll get pink.
