We had an absolute blast in Utah with my family recently. It was a fun-filled, busy week. We had the Hales family reunion and my cousin Jessica's bridal shower and wedding. I also met up with my two brothers-in-law Chris and Michael and Chris' fiance Kerri for dinner. I'm excited for her to become part of the Bell family. I could tell that she is awesome and will make Chris very happy.
It was so nice to see my family again. Natalie didn't want to leave her little aunties. They played so well together this time.

Natalie really attached herself to uncle Thomas this visit. He took her to see his horses, and she didn't stop talking about how she got to comb the baby horse's mane.
Little Blake turned four months while we were there! I can't believe it. He is such a cutie and such a joy to have in our home. He has the sweetest disposition.

The kids played a whole bunch of fun water games at the family reunion. They were passing wet sponges between their feet in this picture.
This was the whipping cream toss. We all got a big squirt of whipping cream in our hands and we had to bump our forearms as we threw it up in the air and try to catch the whipping cream in our mouths. It was quite entertaining to see the results. This is my brother Matthew after his first toss.
Sister Priscilla looking beautiful after her toss.

My grandparents rented a huge blow-up waterslide for the reunion. We all had so much fun on it for the more than six hours that we had it.
This was during the breakfast up the canyon for the reunion.

Lucy had so much fun with the kids. She is such a good babysitter too. I really appreciated her help. I wish I could have brought her home with me.

Natalie found a knight costume. The girls took turns wearing each piece. It was pretty cute.
We went to the fun Payson pool. My mom watched Blake so I didn't have to bring him out in the sun.

Looks like you had so much fun with your family! I LOVE that Nat is Snow White while brushing the horse. I can't believe it still fits! Your kids are so cute! And Blake is getting so big!
It looks like you had a great time. The cake doesn't look that bad. At least in the picture.
Looks like fun! I wish my family would have more reunions! Blake has gotten so big...he is adorable! I hope that I will be able to see you and your kids more often after the baby is born and I'm off restriction!!
