Bunnies..

Last Saturday Abbey and I left to run some errands. When we got back the boys were holding some cute little rabbits- so I told the boys to return the rabbits to our neighbors..since they own some..there reply was"there ours not the Thompsons" Ok..if anyone knows my husband he has a tendency to come home with pets at any time without notifying the wife..which is me. Needless to say..we now have 3 new pets ..they are really cute-they don't bark or shed like a cat, they don't die within a day and then get flushed down the toilet...I think we may have come apon a pet that might actually work..unless they start to multiply..that could get bad! Tanner, Hunter, Braeden, Hallie and Abbey...all the bunnies in the neighborhood!
Abbey an Lexi..we are sorry to say that is the first- a couple hours later it came up missing and we had to go buy another one..I know, I know how dumb are we?
Braeden and doogy....don't ya love the posing of the rabbits?
Hunter and Hound dog..love the names

Bye, Bye sty!

Braeden has had a little friend connected to his eye for the past two months. We haven't been able to get rid of it..even after 3 different doctors. So, finally the last doctor which was the eye doctor...said it is time to get rid of it..I am glad someone has a brain..whatever! Anyways, last week we went in and they did a wonderful procedure where they scrape it off..OUCH! I didn't go in- ya all know how I am.. I would have been on the ground-past out! So, we are now on the mend. I hope this will finally be the end of the sty. If any of you have any ideas on how to steer clear or even get rid of one a little easier..feel free to comment.

Happy Fathers Day to my two most favorite men!

Well yes I am quite late on posting for Fathers Day...but I am doing it now, right? I couldn't forget to honor my two most favorite men on fathers day..first of course is my dad. He is so sweet even if he is losing all his hair..jk. He has always been a wonderful dad..loving, kind, understanding, honest, I can always depend on him and love him so much.( I couldn't find a picture without Zoey..) And then for my awesome husband Brandon..our kids couldn't ask for a better dad..he is never boring that is for sure and so loving and kind to them- I appreciate that so much..love ya Brandon. I also have a wonderful father in law..what would we do without our pinewood derby car maker..thanks for everything! My dad with Zoey....
Brandon....posing for the camera..Just kiddin he didn't know I was taking the picture.

Who Loves to dance?? Abbey!

The time finally arrived for Abbey's year end dance recital...she did so good. Her favorite part about taking dance is performing..go figure! She loves dressing up, getting the hair done and of course makeup and lots of sparkles. It was a great show..lucky for us since we sat through both shows for the day. Both grandparents came to watch..one set had to sit with us for 4 hours of dancing..thank you so much mom and dad for hangin in there with us..you are good little troopers, and even our cousin Paige that we don't get to see very much came to visit- the kids loved that. We are so proud of our little Ab (as she wants to be known) she did awesome and we love her tons! Abbey and her good friend Izzy..posing for pics before it started.
A bunch of the dancers...so cute!
Abbey and her little cousin Brenley...gotta have the flowers.
Brenley, Abbey and cousin Paige..thanks for coming !
Take a bow and a breath..we made it!

Motorcycles...finally

The other day Brandon took the boys over to his shop and let them ride there motorcycles...needless to say they were ecstatic! Since Christmas they have complained non stop that they haven't been able to ride them. Except for in the lot next to our house...I don't know how legal that is but anyways, they had a great time and tore up the whole lot making jumps and actually jumping them. They took bones and as you can tell he was having a little heat stroke along with getting totally dusted..one day I'm sure they will be professional freestyle motorcyclers..watch out Travis Pastrana! Hunter...way to go!
Braeden...looks like he might fall off!


Our Little Bones...ready to pass out...

Western Days Parade...

This is the first year that Abbey has been in the parade..Planet Cheer of course. She had so much fun. I thought for sure she would be tired out from walking all the way up Blue Lakes but when we were done she said "can I do this next year?" she loved it. They all did a great job...what cute little cheerleaders... Abbey and Madison Schutz
Practicing before the parade

Of course we will end with a strange face from my child...It seems we can't take pictures without one of them making faces...Whats up with that??

Last Day Of School 2008!

Last Friday was the last day of school for the year. The kids are really excited. The beginning of another 3 month summer. It still seems odd to me that it lasts that long. But, I am liking the idea better each year..kids grow up way to fast and it's nice to have some time to spend with them. Anyways...Abbey finished 2nd grade and was thrilled along with all of her friends(anything for a picture)..Braeden was happy to be done with 5th and moving up to be a big 6th grader next year and last but not least our little Hunter graduated from 6th grade...thrilled to be done with Grade school and to be turning into a junior higher...what a big boy..we are really proud of him-he celebrated by golfing with one of his good buddies Jake. Hope everyone has an awesome summer! Ab and her friends..to many to name but they are all cute and crazy girls.
Braeden and Brandon..what a face!

Hunter and Jake..ready to golf
This rock was donated by the 6th graders this year..(Hunters Grade) they wanted to leave something behind for everyone to remember them by..of course I had to get a picture with them and the rock!

Happy Birthday Lisa!

Happy Birthday Lis..I know it's a day late but I would never forget your birthday. You are the best sissy ever. I think so much of you..you are sweet, caring, amazing, funny, loving, smart, and so so strong..more than anyone I know. You have gone through so much and amaze me everyday- you are awesome..my little bike riding sister- I know you will kick butt next weekend. Don't forget to blog it. Love you so much-Hope your day was great. Happy Birthday! Love, Nik

Memorial Day continued...

On Sunday we drove over to Bancroft where my Moms Dad and Brother are buried. It was great to take flowers and remember the ones that aren't with us anymore. Since we were in Idaho we didn't get to go to Tuckers grave but we had him in our hearts all day..actually everyday. Thanks again Mom and Dad for a great weekend!

Memorial Day...fun in Bear Lake!

For Memorial Day this year we went to My Parents cabin in Bear Lake. It was very relaxing. On Saturday we played. The girls day consisted of playing at the beach, shopping, eating and riding little carts down the path to down town bearlake. It was great. The boys day was pretty much 4wheeling and motorcycling..what more could they ask? Abbey brought her good friend Hallie- they have alot of fun together. Thanks Thompsons for letting us borrow her, and a big thanks to my mom and dad for a wonderful weekend.

Bowling...another fun year!

Well, it's the end of another year of bowling. I have to say that I just love it. Every Monday we would get together to bowl. My buddy in crime is my good friend Lisa...along with a bunch of other fun friends..it's a great way to stay in touch with everybody. I wish I could say I won a wonderful award for my great skill of bowling but it didn't happen..to be honest it's more of a social thing for me. Next year we will win Lis-I promise! Thanks for hangin in there with me. It's been a blast! The winners...Loma and Susan! I think there was a little cheating going on..Just Jokin!
More fun friends...Renae, Kim, Martha and Marsha
Funny Karren and of course Lis...
Group Picture...gotta love them!
My fun partner...we make a great team..thanks Lis!
