Alive and kick'in

Yes, the Bell family is alive and well and maybe a little bit kick'in. It seems like ages since my last post. So much has happened. Emma turned 9 yrs. old (I can hardly admit this without shedding a tear or two, or twenty)Rob and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary (whoot, whoot), Landon got hit just under the eye with a baseball (and loved every minute of scaring little children with his pro boxer look, he did break a bone it turns out), we are finally going to get that scary bathroom finished (hallelujah and praise the Lord), Soccer is done, Tee ball is done, Baseball is done (hooray) school is almost done and finally I must admit to the world my baby girl, Lauren, is moving to the 9th grade. High school. Seminary. In a few short days I will be the mother of a high schooler. I am not old enough, mature enough, settled enough, ready enough to be the mother of a high schooler. Can't I just tell everyone Lauren is my sister or something? After all, we share clothes, listen to the same music, like the same movies, books, and shoes (although Lauren's shoe size is bigger than mine and has been for about two years) Seems like yesterday Rob and I were registering Lauren for kindergarten. The years go by so fast. The old saying is true, you blink and your babies are all grown up. Life is good, life is crazy. I'm not sure where this post is going, but thanks for listening anyways~
Can you believe this picture taken at Eden's field day. My first baby girl and my last, growing way too fast! (hey that rhymed)
