Don't be jealous of my special bday card ladies!

Audrey Lately

Just wanted to share a few things Audrey has been doing lately that make me smile.


Audrey fell in love with these pink boots in front of Grandma Natalie at Target so Grandma couldn't resist. They are worn EVERY DAY...I knew Audrey's boot day would come eventually.



Audrey has also started saying 'cheese' for the camera and posing which is WONDERFUL.

Audrey has started DEMANDING to wear certain items. The demands are a lot stronger when she is tired so bedtime is a lost cause these days. That tank top and flower bow were the demands of this night.

Audrey LOVES to 'pound it out' especially with daddy. She kisses all of her own owies. I don't even know she has been hurt until I see her kissing a body part.

Gone Ape

Audrey and KT were running around acting like monkeys last night. KT was literally swinging from poles and hanging from the ceiling!

The ape went running the second the pictures for the blog started snapping...

Audrey is finally realizing all the fun things her dad is good for.

Goodbye H-Ween

Audrey is taking down her Halloween decor...



And, getting ready for Thanksgiving! I'm teaching her to be festive while she's young.

Thompson Fest

Halloween came and went today. We had so much fun with family and friends. Everyone gathered at our house for dinner and trick or treating. Big thanks to everyone for coming and dressing up.


Here are WAY too many pics of our night...

Somebody (Grandma Bev) gave Audrey a WHOLE cupcake...she enjoyed it very much.

Grandma Natalie wins BEST COSTUME. NOBODY (and we are all immediate family) recognized her. HER OWN MOTHER INTRODUCED HERSELF TO HER!!!!!!

The boys watched the game

Rachel wins cutest makeup award...such a cute kitty.

We got to enjoy our neice AND nephew at the same time. I was in baby-land and it was the sweetest! It's so amazing how much you really love your siblings' children. It makes me so happy that Audrey has these little pals in her life now.

Here is my SIL Julia with baby Ryan (superman)...he had the CUTEST red cape.

And here I am with brand new baby Gwen. This was my first time holding her. She is SUCH a doll and was dressed as a ballerina. Kellie really outdid herself with this ADORABLE costume.

Here are Kasey (pregnant hippie) and JJ (gingerbread man).

My SIL's fam

The complete Larsen Family!

And this adorable UPS man joined us with his family too!

Aud with Grandma...once she figured out she was Grandma.

Our trick or treat crew

Audrey and Nickolas were our only trick or treaters at the party...

They would get so confused when someone wouldn't answer

It was a really cute and fun night. Goodbye Halloween 2009!


Now it's time to take down these decorations before someone gets hurt!
