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.

Okay so be warned to all of my non kid friends out there, what i am about to share might be a little bit disturbing to you. It was disturbing to me to but pretty funny at the same time. So today I had put Olivia down for a nap, it wasn't her regular nap time so I wasn't really thinking she was going to sleep that long, I also just put her down in just her diaper, why, I don't know. Ten minutes later I hear talking to me just repeating the word mess, that was all she was saying was mess, mess, mess. Went to find out what the mess was thinking that her bottle had leaked, nope she had taken of her diaper and the was poop strewn over her blankets. Yes that is right poop, I know I was in total despair. Where do I begin, do I clean up the poop first or Livi. I cleaned up Livi and then started with the blankets. It wasn't that bad(as not bad poop can be), but just was not something I was expecting at all.
