Bath Time

Bell Family- Sending Hugs

This morning I woke up early with Nephi and started to think about how I instead of sitting here in the cold it would be nice to be in Arizona today - not only for the warmer weather but to hug Ashli (Levi's sister) and our brother in law Tyrone because most times it just easier to hug then to say anything at all.

This past week Tyrone's family lost a beautiful little boy.

Obituary: Cameron Stuart Bell 2007 - 2013

Cameron Stuart Bell Our angel Cameron Stuart Bell went to be with his Lord January 20, 2013 in his mother’s arms, surrounded by family at Phoenix Children’s Hospital, just three days before his sixth birthday. Cameron attended Clarkdale - Jerome School where he had a passion for learning. He also enjoyed playing soccer which his grandfather Randy had the joy of coaching him. His gentle smile could melt the hearts of those around him. With Cameron’s passing we remind others that his life is one to be celebrated. We miss him greatly and our hearts are broken. Five years was not enough time for Cameron to share all of his wisdom and all the love in his heart. We ask that you remember his curiosity, inquisitiveness and love for others. There will never be a day that goes by that we do not think of our son. If you see us, sharing a memory will only help to remind us that Cameron’s memory lives on. Don’t be afraid to mention that you are thinking of Cameron, too. He had that effect on everyone. We miss you Cameron, with all our hearts, and you will never be forgotten. Cameron is survived by his loving parents Ramon and Melissa Bell, his big brother Dustin Bell. His grandparents Randy & Joni Boardman and Ross & Rosie Bell, his great-grandparents George & Joann Ribelin and Ramona Lopez. His aunts and uncles, Andrea “girlfriend” & Ryan “kiwi” Pedersen, Nathaniel (Jackie) Boardman, Tyrone & Ashli Bell, and numerous great aunts, uncles, and cousins. Services will be held 11 a.m., Saturday, Jan. 26, 2013, at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 700 North Bill Gray Road, Cottonwood, Arizona 86326. Burial will follow in All Souls Cemetery.

Catch Up - Christmas

Mr. Evans FINALLY cleaned out his phone.

Before Christmas we went to have breakfast/storytime/crafts with Santa and Mrs. Claus.



FIRST HAIRCUT

It is a little dark but my mom is giving Mr. Nephi his first haircut with Daddy's help.

Crazy that he is over a year old and he has only gotten a trim after being born with lots of black hair.

POTTY TRAINED

 OVERDUE WITH MY NEWS....

CLAIRANA IS POTTY TRAINED!

We are now down to one in diapers again - THANK GOODNESS!

She has been without diapers for about a month now.

I wanted to wait till we had time off of work and daycare to actually dive into the challenge and she did perfect.

Two accidents and that was it. I put her in a diaper for the first night and after that she wanted nothing to do with diapers anymore - no accidents at nighttime - just loud notifications of having to go in the middle of the night that scare us to death.

Nephi Joe - 12 Mth Appointment

12 MONTH RESULTS:

Height - 29.5 (25%)

Weight - 24 lbs 8 oz (60%)

(Clairana is 26.8oz)

Head Cir - 48 cm (80%)

BMI - 19.79

He seems to be doing perfectly fine, has not grown too much since his last appointment.

Walking around everywhere

Loves all food

Crazy non consistent sleeper

Still enjoys the pacifier

Mastered the Sippy Cup & throwing it

Mama's boy except only likes to sleep/snuggle with Levi

Very mellow/happy personality

LOVES the water

Amazed by the dishwasher

Clairana

I am just falling completely in love with this lady all over again....well except for the temper but I am sure she gets that honest.

She has been having these full conversations with herself and playing mine and Levi's roles of asking and answering her own questions - adorable! She now is using her imagination and will bring us different colored birds or monsters.

Here is the best one so far....

Last night, we are sitting down to dinner and Clairana always wants to say the prayer alone now.
Here is how it went:

Heavenly Father thank you for food, thank you for mama and daddy, thank you for Nephi, thank you for my baby sister. Jesus Christ Amen.

BABY SISTER?? Levi and I choked and then laughed it off.

Crazy little lady. Funny thing is I have never heard her even say sister and she never calls Nephi baby brother.

I guess time will tell maybe this lady knows more than we do.

Cousins

Ms. Brittany came up from Tennessee to spend the holiday with her brothers

& we got to drop in and say hello on Monday.

She has Ms. Ruby who is almost two months younger than Nephi.

I remember her calling me to tell me she was pregnant right after we found out we were having a boy. Brittany was born to be a mama, she was always the mother goose so it comes very natural to her.

I love this lady so much - growing up we were the only girls for several years -

fighting off all those anry boys at family events.

Father Daughter - Shooting

Here is a picture from the Evans' Family Christmas party which included

Clairana learning how to shoot her first Nerf gun.
