watch out here comes our super hero...

I was looking around in the blog world today and found this lady who just started a website where she is selling these capes that she makes for kids. I thought that they looks so cute that I just had to order one for Livi. Hopefully Livi likes it as much as I do. I ordered hers to be violet and candy stripes with a magenta star emblem on the back and a light pink O for Olivia. Go and check out her website.


In other news we are doing pretty good, I have survived my first swimmeat for the season. It was two weekends ago in Prineville and it was so hot that weekend I think they said it got up to over 100 degrees. The kids did okay for the first meet, we placed fourth out of seven so not to bad. For alot of the kids it was their first meet so I think maybe nerves played alot into that. This weekend is our home meet so hopefully we will have the advantage. I have resorted to bribing the kids that if they don't stop or get dq's(disqualifications) that I will bring some kind of yummy treat next week, so we'll se how well that works.
I have new photos of Livi to put up from the playing in the sprinklers on the fourth and from going to the kiddie pool the other day, but my photo cord is upstairs and I am downstairs and upstairs is about 90 degress up there or so it feels. So I will try and get those photos up soon.

I know, I know, I know I have once again taken forever to post anything. We have just been so busy lately that it seems like I have little time to breathe. May just seemed to fly by and now it is June and that seems to be going by quickly. I am coaching the swim team again this summer, so that seems to be taking up alot of time. Every morning I am waking up at 6a.m. and getting ready for practice that begins at 7, it is still really cold here in the mornings and I am amazed that they actually will get in and swim. I don't really give them much choice as to not get in and swim but they are really good kids and do whatever I ask. Olivia is doing great and loves to come with me to practice, we walk up there and she hangs out in the stroller during practice. We are loving that it is summer, and is getting warmer here, we love to spend time out in the garden and play in the grass and water the plants. Above are some photos from our trip to Windsor, CA and are trip down to Montery Bay Aquariam.

busy...

So alot has been happening these last couple of weeks, first last week I had the opportunity to go to Women's Conferance at BYU with another lady in my ward. It was the most amazing spiritual experience I have ever had. Right now I am with my family down in Windsor, CA for a nice family vacation. We have been to Monteray Bay to see their amazing aquariuem, we have been to San Fransico and just had fun going to stores and sight seeing in the nappa valley. Also on Monday Damon and I celebrated 3years together and on Wednesday, Olivia turned 2. Can't believe I have been married 3 years and I can't believe that Olivia is 2, WOW. I have a toddler,

okay so today was a triumphant day for us in the bell household. olivia went peepee in the potty today, i have never been happier. she was so excited about it mainly i think because i was so excited. she didn't even want to put on a diaper to go to bed but i promised she could go potty in the morning. who knew that a little pee in a potty could be so delitful. HAPPY DAY!

Okay so once again time has slipped away and I haven't done a post for quite some time. I know that everyone says this but we really haven't had much of anything to post about. This last weekend we did go up to Eugene with my parents to see Kelly and Emilea Barfuss, we had lots of fun and wished we could have stayed longer. On Saturday Kelly to us to the Saturday market, it was so much fun, we got Livi the cutest tie-die shirt and I got this really cute homemade purse. I have never really spent that much time in Eugene, so Damon and I were quite amused by some of the people we saw and things we heard. Oh and we were actually in Eugene the day the Hillary Clinton was there, we didn't go see her, but we heard there was a huge line to go see her. Hope everyone is doing good out there, spring has finally started to show signs here in Lakeview, well kind of. Oh and here are some photos of Miss Livi, I can't believe she is going to be 2 in a month. Oh and this first picture she has my lipgloss all over her face, she is definetly my daughter.
