Michael has been working hard on his space ship for the cub scout space derby. He did so well. John let the boys race with each other for fun, he did not keep track of who was 1st 2nd and so on. It was fun to just race and have fun. John is the cub committee chair in our ward and he works so hard for these cute cub scouts. John borrowed the track from his friend Aaron and set it up with new fishing line and it was perfect. The boys had a great time. Enjoy.

Michael Bell is 10!!!!
Michael turned 10 on September 13th. He had a great day. We went to Park City and had a picnic and then John, Emily, Michael and Soph rode the Alpine slide. It was so beautiful in Park City, the leaves were turning colors, so pretty. We came home and had icecream cake. He told us it was his best birthday ever. He got a RC airplane, ripstick from Grandma Patty and Grandpa Robert and the girls gave him skull candy earbuds and money from G&G Bell. I would love to post pictures but this blog wont let me, I will have John help me this weekend.
Love, Amber

A new school year!!
I am still having trouble with the blog but I will try to make a post this morning. School started on Monday. Emily rode the bus to the Junior High. She did not want me to ride the bus with her and help her open her locker and walk her to 1st period! What is wrong with her? I really wanted to go. I was excited all day for her to come home and tell me about her first day of at Kaysville Junior High. She had a great time and only got lost once. She missed the bus home, by the time she took what she needed from her locker and went out the wrong door and then found the right door the bus was pulling away! John picked her up. She enjoyed her day and loves her teachers and has had fun meeting new friends. Michael is in a portable and is excited about being very close to the playground as he won't miss any time playing kickball due to walking through the school to get outside. He has 2 teachers and they are great, they job share, one works on Mon and Tue the other on Wed and Thur and they alternate Fridays. He is very excited and has lots of his buddies in his class again this year. Sophia, John and I went to Kindergarten on the first day of school. It was so exciting. It was only an hour. We signed up for assessment and signed up for helping in the classroom and went home. Sophia and I went for her assessment on Tuesday, she talked like a robot and then I realized she was nervous all she cared about what that she passed the test! It was funny. She wants to ride with bus with Michael and is sad when he leaves her every morning. Tuesday is coming!
I have so many pictures and videos saved from the summer I will post them during the coming week. We replaced our oven and it is so nice, here is a video of Sophia this morning.
Have a fun Labor Day weekend, we are hopefully going to get peaches and do yard work. Love, Amber

Sophia Bell graduates from preschool
Ginger this post is for you. I love you.
Sohia graduated from preschool last week. I can't believe she is old enough to be done with preschool. We used to refer to her as the baby and then when she was 3 we stopped calling her that because obviously she was not a baby. Time flies. Sophia is always with me, we run errands, go to the grocery store, go to the school and go to lunch together. She is my pal. I love being with her she is entertaining and funny. Our schedule is get the kids off to school and then Sophia and I hang out until it is time for her to get ready for preschool. While Soph is at preschool I have time to go to the temple or get a few things done, then she is home a few hours before the kids get home. This is how things have been for 2 years, I like it this way and don't want it to change.
I can't believe that she is going to Kindergarten in August. She is really excited to go and she is even more excited to ride the bus with her brother. Michael is really looking forward to watching out for her and helping her get to class.
Last week I bought Sophia a new dress. I told her she could not wear it until graduation. This has been painful for her as she loves dresses. I would catch her trying on the dress and she would tell me she was just testing it. So we were both happy when graduation day came and she could officially wear the dress.
Last week was a crazy, fun, fast week. I loved every minute of it. Mom, Dad, Alec and Ammie came for a visit. They were able to go to Sophia's graduation. It was fun, she was excited that Aunt Ammie was there.
I knew Sophia had been learning a few songs to sing at the graduation program but I had no idea how nice it was going to be. They had a slide show with pictures of the kids from the whole year put to music, I was crying.
Summer is here!

This is the place!
I went on a field trip with Michael's third grade class. We went to This Is The Place Monument State Park. It was raining and very cold. The kids were all so cute. We went into a tee pee and learned how to make cornmeal by hitting a rock onto corn and then gathering it up for dinner. The kids were just happy to be out of the rain. I told Michael and his friends I would post this video. Enjoy. The have done alot of work on the Park, it was very interesting.
