Survivor night

We love watching survivor as a family. Funny thing is...we used to make fun of the show until we lived with Colin's parents. They love it and sucked us in last season! Nixon and Mazzy make their tent and instead of rice, (which they eat on survivor), they get popcorn with m&m's! Yummy!!! Nothing like dvr and zipping through commercials! A little silly I know, but we have fun talking about the games and strategy with Nixon. Good quality family time!

Happy Birthday Auntie Chelle!

We love you and hope you have a great week! Miss you like crazy! -love Nixon and Mazzy and of course Colin and Brooke

Who is Colin?

Christopher Colin Thompson

Born 5-25-78

Now known as C. Colin Thompson

The bottom line is, He has never liked having such a "commonly used" name. Chris is a very nice name and he thanks his parents dearly for giving him a name, but he want's to be known as Colin now. I haven't turned 30 yet.... I don't know!
Just kidding... He thought it was a good opportunity to make the change with starting his Buisness in California now, even though we did grow up here... He is happy with it, so I am trying. I need to be more supportive, so this is one way of making that mental change for me.

No worries if Chris still slips out of your mouth on occasion, or all the time...but, he would like us to try! :) Thats what we do for those we love!

THOMPSON'S Story book night

For those of you that don't know.... I love doing themed Halloween costumes with my family. Can you guess who we were? Little Red Riding Hood tale. The kids were in costume all day and we acted out the story a few times. It all started in August when Nixon found this werewolf costume. He wanted it so bad that he even earned money for it! Very cute! So... hmmm... what was I going to do with a werewolf? Big bad wolf close enough? My mom and I made Mazzy's hooded cape and Colin (Chris) was the wolf hunter, so I tried to pull off the grandma. Of course I leave my costume for last, so... it stunk! I would've gotten a wig and glasses if I didn't run out of time. I never think about mine until the day of. I'll do better next year. Actually, next yr. Colin is in charge of picking the theme! He wasn't too happy with the wolf hunter deal. I thought we looked cute -minus me- the pregnant grandma! You don't see that every day!

Auntie Shannah scored on some tickets to the Waldorf Pumpkin path. Of course they offer an alternative to Halloween and to everything else that is main stream. It was really neat. We learned a lot of different legends and saw some very pretty pixies and fairies, (Mazzy's favorite)!

The school really has such a magical environment. Maybe it was the incense in the air!

We headed off to our ward trunk-or-treat after Waldorf and did the cup cake walk and doughnut on the string. It was fun, just still trying to get comfortable in the new ward. Then, went around the neighborhood a tiny bit to meet some of the neighbors. Kids loved it! We had so much fun watching them be so brave at the doors. Even with dogs running out and grandpa's scaring them at the door. FUN NIGHT!

WE DID IT!

We've MOVED!!!!!!

We are now in Fair Oaks and so much closer to all of our daily activities and responsibilities!

We truly do miss being in Placerville, but it is so nice to have space of our own and to pull our life out of a storage unit! It's amazing what you can live without and forget about for a year!

Our TV, PHONE, and Internet won't be hooked up until the 12th. I'll give our info out when we get a little bit more organized. It's till pretty crazy. :)
