Thompson Family Olympics

Kyrie loved her Aunt Kristyn because she always held her. Kyrie was attached to her hip for 2 weeks solid.

Kadon announcing the start of the next event with his blow horn noodle.

440 relay with babies as batons. Kyrie loved it.

Look at Kadon's great form in the javelin throw.

Kyrie wasn't too excited to run her race. Luckily she had some nice cousins to help her out.

Kadon Turns 7

Kadon wanted a football cake with BYU on it. Luckily I bought a football cake pan years ago on clearance.

• We took the Thompson Trio bowling. They gave the bumper lanes quite a workout.

Kyrie had a meltdown because she couldn't bowl every turn.

Graduation

Kadon is holding a "Piece of the Tanner" from the new construction.


Nate had been counting down the minutes till he was done.



Nate vetoed walking in commencement. Instead we did a tour of BYU with our kids and Lachelle's parents. We showed them the buildings we studied in. We looked at the new buildings. Grandpa Packard even visited his two favorite buildings--the Eyring Science Building and the Aquariums in the Widsow.


Kadon posing like a cougar. He kinda looks like the cougar statue outside the stadium.

It's a Girl

Unfortunatly the ultrasound pictures were fuzzy and too dark. But just take my word that this one looks just like all my others. Round head, up turned nose, etc.

I'm due Aug. 30th.

FHE GH3

Our activity for Family Night last week was Guitar Hero 3.

It was supposed to be just Kadon and Nate, but Kyrie was having none of that. She quickly pushed her way in.

At first Kyrie want to be the Boss of Everything. Nate finally got her to just strum while he pressed the buttons.

Pretty soon she had found her groove. She actually got more note right than Kadon.

Kadon was in heaven. It was his favorite FHE activity so far.

Easter 2008

The Easter Bunny hid Kadon's basket in the oven.

Love the no pants look, bud!

The Easter Bunny hid Kyrie's basket behind the couch.

Don't let Kyrie's looks decieve you. Even though she looks half dead, she is more than ready for candy.

Kadon and Kyrie enjoying what the Easter Bunny left them.

Kadon and Kyrie all spiffy for Easter Sunday.

Kyrie loved finding the candy. Since she had to stop and tell us about each one, she didn't get very much.

Kadon had the enviable job of finding all the really hidden pieces.

"LOOK!!!!! CANDY!!!!!!!!!!"

Salt Lake

Lachelle's mom came for a visit in March. Kadon had a day off school, so we went to Salt Lake. We toured the Church History Museum, Temple Square, and lunched at the Gateway Mall.

Kadon said his favorite part was getting gold coins (Deseret Money sold at the gift shop) and the talking Jesus (The Christus statue and the recording the went along with it).

Kyrie Turns 2

Kyrie blowing out her candles. Kadon had to help her after the third try.

Kyrie loved opening presents. Kadon was almost as excited as she was.

Christopher Columbus

Kadon's school did a music production with each grade singing about a famous person from American history. Kadon's grade sang about Christopher Columbus. Kadon is trying to find me in an audience of a couple hundred.







Kadon spent the song frowning, occasionally doing the actions, and trying to watch the slide show on the projection screen above them.

Crazy Hair

Kyrie let me put her hair in pigtails for the first time. Unfortunately her hair wasn't quite long enough and it came down in back. Then she took a nap and flattened it straight out to the sides. After we took out her pigtails she had a halo of hair.

She had a blast "scarying" Nate with her crazy hair.

Christmas 2007

We spent Christmas with Lachelle's family in Washington. Kyrie got a baby and stroller from Santa. At the time she wasn't too sure of it, but now Baby goes everywhere with her.

Kadon got a Pirates of the Carribean ship from Santa. He has had a blast playing with it.

Kyrie also got a stuffed puppy from Grandma Packard. But she loved the candy in her stocking more than any present.

Kadon also got tons of army guys with full battle gear. Kevin and Jason were quite jealous. He has staged many battles between the Pirates and the army guys.

Christmas in Our New House

Kadon and Kyrie posing by the rail that overlooks the kitchen. Kyrie thinks of it as her own personal stage. She sings and yells from there daily.

We love having a fireplace again. Kadon helped me set up our Christmas decorations.

Kadon and Kyrie sharing some love. Right after this picture they went right being arch enemies.
