Froggy Bathroom

So the kid's bathroom has been on my list of rooms to redo. Here are the before and after shots.

I found these frog prints at a garage sale last year and decided to use them as the muse for this bathroom. I sewed new hooded towels for the kids. Kadon gets blue, Kyrie gets yellow, and Piper gets green.



















Walmart had a super cute frog shower curtain. The vanity cabinet used to be wood, so I painted it white to give it a fresh, clean look.

















This vanity doesn't have any drawers. Not very ideal for a kid's bath. Luckily IKEA is there for such occasions. Now we have hanging buckets for toothbrushes, toothpaste, and combs and brushes. The shelf is great for gel and Kyrie's clips and bows are in the boxes.













Stay tuned for Kadon's new room.

Piper's Blessing

Piper was blessed on October 12th by her daddy, her Grandpa Thompson, Grandpa Packard and Great-Grandpa Packard.

Piper is wearing a blessing outfit crocheted by Nate's Grandma Theall. It was beautiful.




















Grandma and Grandpa Packard came in for the day.

Fall Colors

Kadon had early out from school for parent teacher conferences, so we took a drive up Provo Canyon to look at the pretty fall leaves.

Lord of the Flies

This is what Kyrie looked like the day before our Primary Quarterly Activity. I let her play outside while I cut out laminated cards of the First Presidency and the Twelve. Since we were making enough for all the kids and teachers, I cut out 120 sets of 15 cards. It's pretty scary to see how wild she looks after only a couple hours of lax supervision. Sorry Kyrie!

Kissing Cousins

Brielle and Piper have their first photo shoot. Since they are only two weeks apart I predict many photo shoots in the future.

Pretty Pretty Princess

Kyrie models her Halloween Costume.

Unfortunately, she hasn't worn the dress since, and she's broken all her jewelry.

Kadon is Batman, and Kyrie didn't think a princess was scary enough to fight Batman, so she resurrected her ladybug costume from last year. Since Kyrie is terrified of all bugs, a ladybug is the perfect arch nemesis for Batman in her mind.

I'll try to get some shots of their epic battles to post.

"I am your Father"

Kyrie channels her inner dark side and challenges Jeremy to a light saber battle.

This shot brings to mind "So I Married an Axe Murderer'----"It's like an orange on a toothpick"

Piper's Baby Announcement

This is my second attempt at digital scrapbooking. The first was Christine's baby announcement. I think I might be hooked.

Piper's Here!!!!!

Piper Thompson came rushing into our family at 7:21 pm on Tuesday, August 26th, 2008. She was 7 lbs 7 oz and 19 inches long. We barely made it to the hospital in time. We left our house at 6:30, and 40 minutes later I was holding her. We're going to need to figure out a better system because giving birth without anesthetic is no fun!





We don't know where all her hair comes from. Kadon and Kyrie were baldys for the first year and a half. Piper will be easy to pick out in our family albums.





Kyrie wasn't too sure of Piper at first, but after a couple minutes she wanted to "hold this." Kyrie alternates between calling her sister Baby Piper, Baby Diaper, and This.

Kadon was nervous at first, but now I can bribe him to do anything by promising him a chance to hold Piper.

First Day of School

Kadon's all ready for second grade. Nate buzzed his hair the night before and Kadon was concerned all the kids would tease him. He told anyone who commented on it that he was in disguise.

Mr. Joe Cool

Back to School Party

Kadon argued the semantics of our party, since no one else was invited. He looks pretty excited, doesn't he.











He got a calculator, which he used on the second day of school when he should have been getting dressed. When I hadn't heard any getting ready sounds from his room, I called him in. He came, still in his pjs with his calculator, stating, "Moo-oom, I'm doing math so I don't get behind."









The scissors put a smile on his face. Now his room is coved in paper clippings from his art projects, which are all done after he has been put to bed.

Kyrie needed to have her picture taken too.

Stiches

Kyrie was jumping on the couch and hit the DVD cabinent. She had to get 9 stitches. She was a real trooper at the ER. Now we get to hope she tones down her wildness, but I have a feeling we will be stitching her up again.
