The Days of Thomson: Things

You know when your kids are driving you crazy and you tell them to go run around the house a couple of times? Well, I do. Unfortunately, Joseph ended up using his eye to run into Thurston's Forehead. This picture doesn't do it justice. It took a good week (at least) to clear up. Poor kid looked like I beat him. We do have witnesses from cousins that we did not.:)

Thurston wasn't effected at all. See that little red dot on the top left corner of his forehead? Yeah, that's his battle wound.

We celebrated the first day of fall by reading about the season change, pumpkins etc, then went on a scavenger hunt to find all kinds of leaves. I was surprised how many we found in our yard. We did leaf rubbings and then drew tree's and glued the leaves on. Don't trust the facial expressions, they did have a blast!

This Last Sunday, Preston and I celebrated 7 years of marriage!! We can't believe it's been that long, yet at the same time, we both think it's weird that there was ever a time we didn't know each other. We went out Saturday to celebrate. The plan was to go to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the Utah game. Well, Boise state was playing at the same time, and Boise State fans are as bad, if not worse than BYU fans. The place was packed and they said that we could have a small tv changed to the game if we found one.... never mind the other 50 large screens that were all showing the Boise state game. We found no room except at the actual bar, not facing any "small" tv's, so we left. We next tried the Ram, the pretty much told us "We are watching the Boise State game" and refused to change the channel to ANY other game! Yes, once again the wall were COVERED with TV'S and they usually have several games on. We then tried Iggy's and the guy said that he too was a Utah fan and was dying to watch the game, the manager was a huge BYU fan and wanted to watch that game, but since Boise State was playing, they had to keep ALL tv's on that game, or else they would get yelled at by all the customers. We were a little T-O'd (say it like Kip) 3 sports bars, prob close to 120-150 TV's, and they would not change any of them. So we went to the Cheese Cake Factory and stuffed ourselves beyond recommendation and had a very nice time. Preston said he felt like a dumb a@@ for wearing his Jersey, but I still think he was handsome!

Thurston was in desperate need of new sunday clothes. He actually spent his own B-day money on this suit. I asked him if he wanted a new toy, or church clothes and he chose this! He looks so handsome!!
