The Results Are In...

1st place Chili : Robert Thompson

1st place pie/cobbler: KaDee Thompson

We were really surprised that we won for the 2nd year in a row! Robert used a different recipe than last year and my cobbler didn't turn out as good as usual, but that didn't seem to matter! Robert and I had fun getting our recipes together and winning again as a team.

Go Team Thompson! :)

Grandma & Grandpa Thompson

We are so happy that Robert's parents were able to come for a visit last weekend. It was Grandma's first time out and we were soooo excited that she could come! It is a long plane ride from California and we're so grateful they made the trip. We miss having family around and we love having company!

The Pressure Is On!

The following is a part of an email the ward recieved about our upcoming ward activity.

"Don't forget to put this fun Fairfax Ward activity on your calendar!! Also, bring your chili and/or pie/cobbler for everyone to taste so you can win!! Last year's champions Robert Thompson (chili) and KaDee Thompson (pie/cobbler) are returning to see if they can hold on to their titles!!"

We'll post results this weekend!

Happy 34th To Robert!

I, for one, am very thankful that Robert was born.
I am also VERY thankful I never had a baby that big! :)

Tea Party

OUR VIEW OF THE CAPITAL

GRANDMA & GRANDPA THOMPSON WITH THE 3 BIG KIDS

We all went to the Capital Mall in DC yesterday for a Tax Revolt Rally. It was a good experience. The kids loved chanting "USA!" There were some great signs. The video I took will give you an idea of the atmosphere.

"Dude, I'm Open!" - 1st Soccer Game

THE CHEER SECTION!

THE GIRLS WERE SO HAPPY THERE WAS A PLAYGROUND!

THE AFTER GAME GERM EXCHANGE! :)

Bruce had his first soccer game yesterday. He had so much fun. He was a little baffled though that he was getting hurt (hit in the face, falling down, etc) and nobody thought anything of it. He is #3 in the video on the silver team. We were lucky that Grandma & Grandpa Thompson were in town for his game! It was perfect weather. You can hear the cool breeze on the video. I loved hearing Bruce yelling, "Dude, I'm open!"

Bruce's After School Interview

What was your favorite thing you did today? -
"reading books"

What was your least favorite thing you did today? -
"I liked everything except library. All you do is pick books out. That's it."

What do you think about 1st grade? -
"Umm, good."

What did you do at recess? -
"I raced some of my friends."

Are you ready to go back tomorrow? -
"Yes!"

Did you get in trouble today? -
"No" Are you sure?- "I didn't!"

Bruce was also very happy to learn that he will still get snack in the 1st grade and said 1st grade was better than he expected it to be.

Back To School! 1st Grade!

With Transformers backpack in tow, Bruce headed off to the 1st grade this morning! He was so excited to get going. His teacher, Mr. Campet, was also his Kindergarten teacher. All but 2kids in his class were in his class last year so he's starting the year with lots of friends. It's part of a "looping" program they have at his school that we chose to participate in. Bruce was in full-day Kindergarten last year so he's already used to being at school all day.

It's back to being all girls at home in the days.
We'll miss our Bruce!
Geese, 3 kids is EASY! :)
