New "goods"

New books for our collection. Thanks to Grammy for the new bookshelf too. Oh how we looooove books!

Love playing "kitchen" and now that we have play food- we are busy making and eating all kinds for us and all the animal friends in the house!

Hangin' outside

Our boy sure does LOVE being outside! Always wanting to ride (his car), play ball, net (shoot hoops) run, sand (for sand table), dog (look over fence at neighbors dog) or mower (for his lawn mower). Ahh the life of a toddler-- where you live for being outside all day long!

San Antonio in the House

We had a great visit from our cousins and Aunt from San Antonio. It sure it nice to have a quick visit, share some stories, make new memories (aka blackmail stories) and have good laughs.

Me, my Grammy & my Popo

All dressed up

There really isn't a reason to post this except for the fact that "we cleaned up nicely" for a wedding and well that was good enough for me! And yes - I am already showing, but I am still in my regular clothes- I think because I am carrying really high- whatever that means!

1st time in a bounce house!

Started a little rough......

But with the help of awesome cousin, Jared- it did get better!

So this is what $1 Billion looks like.....

Jerry world- at your finest! We took a peek into all the hype and it was nice as it should be for the price tag attached. Jared was in hog heaven constantly looking for Romo!

Baby Thompson #2

Had my 12 week check up and all is good! Although, they couldn't hear the baby's heartbeat (which sounds startling, but since I am so early along they weren't too scared) and sent me to do an emergency sonogram. Baby is all in there chilling on it's back moving it's legs and arms with a strong heartbeat.

Man's True Best Friend

Doggie has to go everywhere Jonah goes- in his high chair, in his playroom, in his play tunnel, in the car- although the deal is- doggie has to stay in the car to go "night night" (so really we don't loose it somewhere out in public).

Signs you are a toddler & all boy!

Scrapes on your forehead, scrapes on your nose, and scrapes on both of your knees! Or as Jonah says "boo boo's"!

A Fun Celebration

In true family fashion - there were games to be played and won at the Easter get together! There was a an Easter basket decoration contest, a traditional egg hunt for the kids, a golden egg hunt for the adults, and an egg toss. That golden egg was hard to find, even with the 4 good / hard clues. Corbin found the golden egg! And Rick and I won the egg toss- that was a surprise. Thanks to Kirsten for organizing such a fun par-tay!

Easter Bunny arrived

The bunny "hid" eggs all around waiting for Jonah to wake up and start collecting!

WANTED: Babysitter 10.26.10

Must be a big deal to post a need like a babysitter on a blog- we think so- that is when BABY THOMPSON #2 is due to arrive! Yep- surprise!!! We are expecting a Fall Baby! We are on cloud 9 and eager to see Jonah as a big brother. We had our first sonogram and the "pumpkin seed" was already in place with a strong heartbeat. There is only one- Rick verified two times to make sure! Since we've been down this road only once, we did learn from our first time, so let's hit it:

Q- Will we find out the sex?
A- NO- we didn't the first time and it was fine- actually I think it bothers others more than us

Q- Were you "trying"?
A- Not sure why people ask this as if the answer will determine if they are happy for us or not- so our answer is - we learned a long time ago not to interfere or question God's plan

Q- Do you want a boy or a girl?
A- healthy is our request. Based on the relationship I have with my mom, the one my mom had with her mom, I would love to have a daughter to pass down that tradition. That being said- based on the relationship I have with my sister and how close we are, I'm sure is related to that we are both the same sex and I would love for Jonah to have that with a brother. And plus seeing Rick and his brother makes true too.

Q- How are you feeling?
A- hungry and tired- good things!

Q- Do you have names already?
A- Thanks for thinking we're that prepared - we didn't even have final names when Jonah was born. We just wait til the Birth Day arrives and take it from there.

Q- Will I deliver natural or c-section?
A- since Jonah ended up being delivered 12 hours after labor via c-section, this one will bypass the 12 hours and head straight to c-section

Q- Will this be your last one?
A- who knows!

We are overjoyed and so excited in this new journey. I am starting my 9th week and many more to go. I am already marking my spot in our pool - I figure being 6 months pregnant in the Texas summer is the best place to be morning, noon and night! This year marks our 10 year anniversary (10.21) and I told Rick I wanted to do something very special this year- he delivered - celebrating 10 years with the person you love while expanding our family! Thank you for your prayers and support!

Me & May May

Jonah got to spend Sat AM with Mason and couldn't be happier about it! They love to play train together and enjoyed being outside in the nice weather too. It's fun to see Mason be the "big brother" to Jonah especially considering Mason is the baby too!

Bust a move!!!!

Can you tell what side of the family he got his moves from?????

Miss Sarah & Me

Here's another one of Julie's helpers- Miss Sarah! Jonah is so lucky to have Julie, Sarah, Courtney and MawMaw all looking after him and teaching him so much....oh and spoiling him too! t'hee
