A little catching up.....

I know it's been way too long since I've blogged! So, I have lots of catching up to do. With that said, there aren't a TON of pictures. I have just decided that I'll try to be better about blogging. Things at the Bell house are good! We have been enjoying the fall-ish type weather up until our first snow fall on Monday. The kids woke up and starting singing Christmas carols! They wanted to go out and play right away, and it wasn't even 8 o' clock in the morning! I was a mean mom and told them NO! Plus, we don't have snow clothes that fit either of them. I did let them go out an hour later, which is a good thing because not long after that the snow was melted. They are eagerly anticipating the next storm. Until then, the cooler weather has been a nice break for me! Less than 2 months to go and we will have another little Bell baby. We are thrilled for baby #4. Maybe a little nervous to have another, but mostly just excited!

Carter is enjoying Kindergarten and the responsibilities that come along with it. He wishes he could stay all day and eat lunch at school too. He said the hardest part of school is the monkey bars. Awesome. I love him. He just finished up his first season of flag football and LOVED it. he had a great coach that really taught him plays and all the rules of the game. He said he looks forward to playing tackle football when he's bigger. I over heard him telling Berklie that when he is bigger he gets to have cheerleaders on his team cheering for him, and if she wants, she can be one. HA HA HA.

Berklie is 3! Enough said right? We adore Berk's. Could do without all the tantrums over nothing, but she is a funny little thing with spunk! She started preschool this year and LOVES it. Loves playing with her friends and doing crafts. She is also in dance once a week and loves that as well. I like to see her do her little moves. The recital in January will be hilarious I am sure!

Oaklie is a ball of energy and giggles! The girl loves to make us all laugh. She recently started walking, yes it took her 16 months! But, it's the cutest thing ever. Her chubby little legs can get her where ever she wants to go. She is also a climber. I haven't have a kid that likes to climb yet, so it's new to me! She pushes stools and chairs all over the kitchen to get to what she wants. Smart little toot. She loves her daddy and can't get enough of him when he isn't working. Her favorite thing to do is dance with dad. It's pretty much the cutest thing.
Mat started running this summer and has been looking to do a 5K race. Well, he found one at Stansbury High School...a costume race. Since we had just gone to a Halloween party the night before, he was set for with the costume and what is more perfect than Richard Simmons? I have to say it was HILARIOUS seeing him in these short shorts..and beaded tank-top. He won't be wearing the shorts on his regular runs, thank goodness. He did get 2nd place in his age group though. Was it because of the shorts?

Enjoy the pictures and I'll be sure to post more often.
