Tianna and Drew going to Senior Ball 1/21/12

Tianna was asked to the Senior ball by a Senior boy named Drew Purser.  She has liked him for about a year and this was her first real dance with a real date, so she was pretty excited!

                   Tianna looks so pretty and she is wearing the dress my mom made me for my Senior Prom!

Christmas at the Thompson house

Christmas was really fun this year!  We had a lot of late nights with our kids and the best part was when  Justin and Teri and girls came after Christmas and stayed for New Year's.  We played games and enjoyed time together.  Justin took the kids snowboarding and him and Teri made a trip to Vegas.  Jayson and I had to work most of the holiday and that stunk, but at least we got 2 extra days off. 

At anti gravity having fun with the kids!  I think the adults had more fun than the kids!

                                Christmas dinner - we had an extra- Teisha's boyfriend, Marshall

                                                Christmas morning chilling

                Teisha got all the essentials for college life-printer, tv, clothes, and gift card at Kneaders!

                           Jayson loves his new gun-I think this was his best Christmas ever!

                              Me with all my new workout gear-do you think that is a hint?

Jayden's 11th Birthday

I can't believe my baby is 11 already!  His birthday was November 29th and my 40th was the 30th.  Wow, I am feeling old all of a sudden!  We took the party boys to anti gravity ( a place full of trampolines).  We played dodge ball and jumped for about 2 1/2 hours and then came home and ate pizza and the delicious cake Teisha made!  Jayden said it was the best party he has ever had and all the boys seemed to have a lot of fun.  I know Jayson and I were worn out!  I sure wish I had as much energy as I used too!

Sadies 2011

Two weeks ago was Sadies so Tianna and 5 of her friends asked some boys and planned a fun day.  Four of the boys are from our ward, so they are all good friends.  The started out at Brittany's house making homemade pizza and then out to Brittany's dads salvage yard.  They played mattress wars, shot marshmallow guns at each other and Brittany's dad crushed a car and blew up an airbag for them.  They had so much fun at the salvage yard running around and hiding in old vehicles.  (Now some of the party ladies in our ward that took the pictures want to rent the salvage yard for game night with adults.)  After the salvage yard they came to our house where Teisha and I had made chicken alfredo, salad, fruit salad, bread sticks and brownies with hot fugde and ice cream.  After dinner they played Kinect and had so much fun laughing at each other.  Then they headed to the dance to dance  off their dinner.  It was so fun having all 12 kids at our house for a few hours.  It makes me sad to think that Tianna only has 1 more year of high school after this.
