Pirate Pictures!

We had Isaiah's party Sunday with a pirate theme. The kids all came dressed in there best pirate costumes and played all day. There was tons of swashbuckling, carousing, cake eating and present opening. A good time was had by all! Thanks for letting me use your camera Kaiti and thank you so much, Cindy for all the help with getting the pavilion ready for the party and the clean up after.

The Scurvy Pirates!


The most dreadful of them all!

Jojo just liked getting dirty.

I made the cake and Adam put it all together, including the pirate getting eaten by the shark!

Peanut

Well, it happened. My little Peanut turned 5 last week and finished preschool. He is so little in stature that I sometimes forget just how big he really is getting. Then he reminds me with a quick comeback, or a new word he is learning to use. He has such a zest for life and is always smiling. Even when he is mad a smile and little giggle are never far from his lips. I love that he will sit and try to figure something out and does not give up easily. However, it's not so cute when he won't give up on getting his own way! He may be the most stubborn person I have ever met! I pray the Lord would teach Adam and me how to cultivate that into true leadership and I pray that Isaiah would continue a close and personal relationship with Christ.

Happy birthday Peanut!

I'm Baaaack...

So, I know I haven't posted in a while and it has brought great concern to many of you. I mean what else are you supposed to do with your day if you can't read new posts on my blog? The problem hasn't been a lack of things to blog about, but rather the time to do it. Adam and I were gone just about every weekend from the middle of April until the 18th of this month. In that time we had 2 birthdays in this home and three in our extended families, we also spent 5 days in Colorado Springs superintending an alpaca show. Since we have been home we have had numerous little league games, a class at the church on Wed. nights, a chorus concert I found out about the night of, and I am trying to plan a birthday bash for Peanut. Things have been a little busy around here and I am battling through it very tired and nauseated. The highlight of the month though has got to be the brand spanking new laptop my awesome husband bought for me!

Last Friday Evangel Heights (Elijah's school) had a crazy hair day and he came in first place in his class, but said he never wanted to have his hair like that again because it hurt so bad! Thanks to Aunt April, Brittany, and Trinity for all the tiny hair bands.

Isaiah turned 5 last week and Adam also had a birthday.
Don't laugh at Adam's cake, I ran out of regular milk and had to use Lactaid for the icing which made it too thin. He actually didn't get a cake on his birthday, but rather two days after his birthday. We had a little mishap with our oven and a plastic cupcake carrier left in the oven. Or rather, Adam decided to heat up the oven for me before taking out the cupcake carrier first. After some really bad fumes, smoke, and an entire can of oven cleaner, my oven is back in working condition, but I am short one oven rack and one cupcake carrier!

Never a dull moment!!

I'll Take a Number 4...

...With nausea, vomiting, extreme fatigue, and a whole slew of other things I don't care to mention! I am happy to write that Thompson Baby number 4 is on the way and I have been having some rough days. I went in to my PCP for a Strep test and came out with a positive pregnancy test. Needles to say Adam and I were very surprised, but we are very excited about it. If you scroll down to the bottom you can see a pregnancy ticker that I added to the blog. My due date is December 8th and I am about 8 weeks along. I am looking forward to my 2nd trimester were hopefully I will start feeling a little bit better.

This is what our little addition looks like right now.

BaseBall Fever

It's that time of year again...little league has begun. This year Isaiah gets to play too and tonight he had his very first game.

Party Pictures

I just wanted to share some pictures from Elijah's birthday bash.


Lij doesn't like cake, so he usually asks for an ice cream cake. This year he wanted a Legend of Zelda cake - not the easiest stuff to find!



Alanna and Avi enjoyed their cake!

Tanner and Isaiah liked theirs too! (nice foot mom!)

The new bike.

I think a good time was had by all! Thanks for taking pictures Kaiti and thanks for serving the cake Kelly. We will all have to do this again next month!!!

6 then 7

This week my Elijah turned 7 years old. I still can't believe it. I love that he is getting bigger and can understand more things and do big kid things, but I miss getting to just hug and kiss on him and I guess I'm not supposed to hold his hand anymore either. He may be getting bigger, but he will always be my "Tender Heart" and he does let me cuddle him from time to time! Though he has changed in many ways in the past couple years, his heart has not. He is one of the most giving and caring people I have ever met and he truly gets concerned over hardships of others. It is my biggest wish that God would teach me how to cultivate that strength in him, so he could use it to serve the Lord. My prayer for Elijah is that he might become a God fearing, serving, and loving man. I cannot imagine a minute with out my not so little Lij and I am blessed to have him in my life.

Happy Birthday Buddy!
