Two weeks + One post!

I'm going to cram two weeks into one post.  Here it goes....

Horse fun!  --Always

Sleepovers at Grandma and Grandpa Thompson's

Tristin's summer job, helping around the farm!

VBS (he was telling the boy next to him, "that's just my Mom"  haha!)

Library fun!

More VBS

and as of yesterday, Church Camp

Oh, and doing "Man's work" in the pond with Uncle Greg.

those are just a FEW highlights.

Missing the older two...but looking forward to some down time to catch up on a few, nope >> LOTs of things!

Weekends are for....

...well first off sleepovers!

We had one at Gma + Gpa Thompson's with a friend for a farm filled evening of adventure (bet you can't guess which one that one was).    It was filled with pony trail rides, sleeping in the beach house + lots of spoils.

Tristin was off spending the night at a buddies.

Lola was busy here at home with a sleepover friend.

And Kolton + Keith tried out the boat on the lake (which wasn't very successful but good time spent together.

I personally vegged out most of the evening trying to close my mind down from one week of VBS (here in NK) and gearing up for this weeks VBS (at our fellowship).  Well that and resting from allergies and/or cold that was kicking my tail.  =)

Saturday evening we ate pizza, visited with family/friends + watched the fellas dig the holes for the new pasture and round pen.  They even set in some posts!  So exciting to see it coming together!  Thankful for their help!!

Sunday >>VBS PREP!!  A long day well spent with our fellowship family transforming our Church into the International Spy Academy!   It's gong to be a great week!!

Fun!

13 years today...

When I think back over my life...I can't really remember a time without you. Today we celebrate 13 years of marriage. All my wonderful memories all include you.

...I am so thankful.

I look back at the journey, remember and still feel the love that carries us through.

You've loved me. Never left me...ever...no matter what.

I love you Keith William Thompson, my love grows stronger each day.

God knew when He placed us together what we needed. He knew I needed you.

Looking forward to the blessings yet to come and praising Him for those we've already had.

Loved and Blessed

Your wife~Tina

Note to self....

Just a quick note for remembrance....

I love it when Kolton gets up and yells "MOMMY!" down the steps.

Yes, I still walk up and carry him and his silky down. Everyday.

I love you sweet Kolton!

Saturday Morning Sisters...

Play-doh never gets old!




My sweet sweet girls!




They love playing together!

Busy making their spongebob characters!

Oh, but then....

after MUCH hard work....

Here he comes!

Oh, yes...gotta love the little brother!

Did I mention sweet girls?? They slid over and let him play too!

Saturday morning play-doh is much better than Saturday morning cartoons...I least I think! =)

Tristin's first soccer game of the season!

Tristin's first soccer game was September 9th. He played Botkins @ Botkins.



Because he was one of the top five oldest in his class...he was able to get bumped up to the U14 team. Boy was he happy. As his momma, I wasn't quite sure I was as excited. AS you can clearly see, almost all of the boys have a bit of a height advantage.

But all is well! He is on a very nice team with wonderful boys and a great coach. Tristin has been enjoying his practices which typically are Mon. Tues and Thurs.

We on the sidelines cheer hard (when we are allowed) and play hard!

Crazy Mr. Kolton and Grandma Thompson with Lola....



Tickle time with Natalie and catching Grandpa Thompson in a picture....

I just love them!



I was trying to capture Kolton's hair...but my camera didn't. He had preschool the day before and we caked his hair with gel. The result (since we didn't take a bath that night) was a head full of flakes! Yes, your Mother noticed but publicly displayed you that way. -sorry, I do love you!






Kolton and Grandpa (oh and Keith and I were there too! HA!)

The team

GO RANGERS!

(sorry Tristin, the team lost 9 - 0...but you had fun and had an awesome/almost goal kick!)
