Yea! We finally have internet! Here is some catch up postings....

22 pounds!!


Isaac was 4 months on Saturday. I took him to the doctor today. He weighs 22 pounds and 6 ounces and is 27 inches long. This puts him definitely way off the charts. The doctor showed him off to the other doctors and nurses and said jokingly he was a classic case of "failure to thrive". The boy is huge! But he is the sweetest thing ever!!!

Back to Kentucky!

We are back in Kentucky! We (Jaimee and Grandma Bell) got packed up (which is such a BIG job) and our movers came (never moving again without movers---that was AWESOME!)and they packed it all up in a big giant semi-truck. We cleaned the townhome from top to bottom, stuffed our van FULL of the stuff the movers forgot to take, drove to Pittsburgh to stay with Uncle Phil for a two days while the moving truck made its way to Kentucky, and then drove to Louisville, Kentucky for a HAPPY reunion with our Dad and we closed on our new, beautiful house and then the movers unloaded the big truck and we began unpacking all the stuff we spent all that time packing up! Moving is SO much work! But we are here! I love the house that Blaine picked out for us--it was my first time seeing it when we got here. It's going to be great for us. The neighborhood is awesome--there are 7 boys Cameron's age on our street! The ward is great and it just feels so great to be back in beautiful, friendly, peaceful Kentucky! Come visit us soon all you Lexingtonians.

A special thank you to our Grandma Bell. I couldn't have done this move without her help. She was the biggest help to us and we are so grateful to her for all she did while she was here. We love you Grandma.


This is a funny picture--we put a sticker on Isaac's car seat that said "do not take" so the movers wouldn't pack his carseat. We for sure didn't want them to pack it with Isaac in it.

This is our "we did it" self portrait picture after we had made it to KY!

Highlights from the trip to Utah

We did so many fun things on our 2 1/2 week trip to Utah. Here are some of the highlights...
Thanks to everyone for the fun times.

Slip sliding at Grandma Despains

Hanging out with Grandpa

Going to the aquarium and touching the sting rays (Cameron loves this place!)

The Dino Museum with Gma Bell and our cousins--always a great time!

Seeing some of my BEST friends Penny, and Shelley and their adorable kids. You're my girls always guys! LOVED seeing you.


A sleepover at the Moore's new house in Highland (miss you guys!)

My sweet, beautiful niece Nicole got married to a great guy Darrin. What a GREAT day--even if there was a little rain...

My cute girls at the reception. You better believe they loved the little flowery headbands Aunt Cyrrena made them.

Blood family at the Salt Lake Temple---where we were married nearly 10 years ago. Now here we are with 4 kids!!

Shooting off rockets with Grandpa Bell--thanks Grandpa for the fun!

Isaac's blessing

We blessed Isaac Philip while we were in Utah. It was wonderful. We blessed him at Grandma and Grandpa Bell's house which really was nice. We had almost all of our family and some of our best friends there which was really special for us since we don't live around our family and get to share these events with them very often. Isaac is truly a joy in our family. Blaine gave him a very special blessing. It took all those strong men to hold him up to give him the blessing--he's a big boy! He's named after Isaac Morley--my 3rd great grandfather, and 3 great men all named Philip--my dad, his great-grandpa Blood, and his Uncle Phil.
