Welcome to our Blog!
Here's whats happening in Crestwood, Kentucky:
We had our ultrasound today which showed a healthy, active, BOY!! We are so excited and feel so blessed that everything looked healthy. Cameron is thrilled of course to be getting a brother--he just collapsed on the floor when we told him exclaiming "YES!!" Kelsey is excited too--she just wants to help with a new baby, pick out the colors for a new baby blanket, and choose some "cute"clothes (what a girl!). Ellie is clueless about it all and will have a big adjustment to see me holding another baby--something she has never liked. Now just comes the long wait till he comes in March. Happy day!
Sorry about the poor pictures of the Ultrasound--our scanner doesn't work so I had to take a picture of them and its not so great. You get the idea!
Last weekend we had some very fun visitors--our great friends the Westovers and the Turners.
It was so good to see them. Our kids had a blast playing and we were just so glad to have them come see us while they were both in town to go to the temple (or had intentions of going right Turners??) Can't wait for these guys to come back for another temple trip. So--whose next to come visit?? We'll tend your kids and you can go to the temple--not a bad deal!
The Blood's and the Westover's--we should have "zoomed"in a bit to see us all better before the self timer took the picture!
Kelsey, Malea, Eva, and Kiah having sooo much fun together. Kelsey has been crying for Kiah ever since she left.
My dear friend Amy Turner--we lived in Lexington together for 3 years and just love her!
The Blood and Turner kids. Bryce is 8 and incredible on the piano--thanks for playing for me Bryce--I'm still totally impressed.
Grandma Bell has a great tradition of throwing an awesome Halloween Party every year--so since she and Phil and Lisa were here this last weekend we had to keep the tradition going. Blaine and I have never really had costumes to dress up in--but this year I made us costumes. They will probably be our costumes for the rest of our lives. The party involves three main events:
1. Pin the Tie on the Ghost
2. Great Neptune of the Sea--where you ask "Great Neptune" behind the sheet for a prize and you put your fishing line over and he gives you a prize.
3. The Ghost Cake--which is a cake with a ghost with real flaming eyes--its a big hit.
We had so much fun! Even better to have the Moore's here with us to celebrate!!
"The Big Bad Wolf" and "Little Red Riding Hood"
All the kids ready to party (We had to put Ellie to bed because she was having a melt down she was so tired.)

We visited Mount Vernon this last weekend with Blaine's mom and his brothers family. Mount Vernon is the name for George Washington's beautiful mansion home and farm that overlooks the Potomoc River. It is one of my favorite places here and we went on the perfect Fall day. George Washington was an incredible man--how lucky we are that good men like this once lived to start our country.

I love this picture--Cam and Ellie with the Potomoc River in the background--it really is a spectacular view. This is the view George Washington had from his back porch!

This is a replica of a famous portrait of George Washington. The original hangs in the White House--Blaine and I actually went on a tour of the White House today and saw the original!
