Cam the Cub Scout...

Cameron has had such a fun year so far with Cub Scouts this year. It starts with the Pinewood Derby, which is everyone's favorite event. Cameron's car this year was voted "Most Aerodynamic" and he won lots of the individual races he was in. It was a great night. Then comes the "Blue and Gold Banquet" where Cameron was presented with his Bear Award that he worked hard to earn since turning 9 last Fall. He also earned his Religious Knot award which he was really excited about. Blaine is now the Cubmaster in our Ward, so Scouts has become a big part of our life right now which is great. Cameron is really lucky to have some great boys his age to be friends with in scouts.

All the scouts that earned their Bear Award...great kids!

Bathtime fun....

These pictures say it all....the girls had a little TOO much fun with the bubbles in mom's tub. That's what I get for leaving the shampoo within reach....but it makes for great pictures!

Christmas 2010....

Another memorable Christmas for the Blood's! We had our traditional Gingerbread house party with lots of fun families, and a nice Christmas Eve dinner with our neighbors the Olsens, and an early (5:00 am) Christmas Day here in Kentucky. Nikki and Darrin came down for Christmas Day which was fun to have them here with us. We are so blessed with so many wonderful things this Christmas year!

Cute Isaac on his 2nd Christmas....and having fun with cousin Darrin.

Pictures with Santa

Our attempts at a good family picture for our Christmas cards for 2010.

True Blue (not red) Cougar....

This is Steve Larsen...one of our good friends here in Kentucky...despite the fact that he is a big Ute fan (his wife Summer is a Cougar fan). They invited us over to watch the BYU and Utah football game one weekend, but Steve said Blaine could only come if he wore something red....so this is what we came up with so we could still go and Blaine could show his true blue colors! Too bad we lost....but we had a great time with the Larsens!

It's a Barnyard Moosical....

Kelsey was in a musical that her elementary school put on called "Barnyard Moosical". She was one of the chickens....and had one awesome chicken strut for her "Funky Chicken" number. It was a lot of fun for her and for us to see!

Great times with Grandma and Grandpa Bell...

Notice Isaac's black eye after being stepped on by a kid at Chick-fil-A!

Our sweet Grandma and Grandpa Bell came for a visit. We all love listening to Grandpa Bell's stories, and Grandma Bell gave each grandkid a copy of her new book "I Know That My Savior Loves Me" which is such a treasure for us to have. What a beautiful song our Grandma wrote. One of the reasons they came for a visit was to attend the kids Primary Program at our church, and hear thier grandkids sing Grandma's song as part of the program....just like all thePrimary children all over the world did! Awesome!

Isaac will be a Big brother....

Our happy news of the fall was that Isaac will become a big brother in June 2011! We are excited for baby #5 (a boy!!)
