Gearing Up....

Well, the week is upon me and I've got to admit, I'm excited to see my girlfriends this weekend at the Alpha Phi Beta Zeta 80th Anniversary Celebration. I've been planning it with another alum for over a year now and it's finally here! It's going to be so much fun getting together because every time we reunite, it's like we saw each other yesterday!

Now, I've got to also admit, my liver is nervous. I'm sure numerous tubs will be had at the local bar, the Corner Club... as well as a lot of laughs and good times! Let's see how well I bounce back after two nights/days back to back of this chaos and laughter. I can't wait to see everyone... some of these college friends are ones that will be in my life forever!

Our Little Tiger Scout...

Daddy and Hayden - off to Tiger Scouts!
Is this a pose or what?!

....And we're off! Boy, what a start to the work week. Kennedy's dance lessons go from 4-4:45 and then Hayden has begun Tiger Scouts which are from 6:30-7:30 - on a school night! Ugh! But, here are a couple of pictures of him in his uniform. He was so excited to get his shirt and hat! I bought it big - no laughing - I didn't want to keep buying a new one year after year and figured that this one should last him til about 3rd grade at least! We'll see how we do when we have both of these things and then flag football as well next week!



I can completely see Hayden getting into this stuff... it's so fun to see your child light up with excitement because they actually enjoy something. Well, I get that a lot with Hayden, but what a moment....Tiger Scouts and it was HIS DECISION to do it! :-)

Miss K starts Dance Lessons!

Well, last Monday we decided to try out dance lessons for K. She had her tap shoes ready, her leotard on and she was all set to start tapping! Well, little did I know that this class is also creative dance. She played with ribbon batons, body movements and danced to the beat. She loved it! We'll try it again this Monday and see how she likes it. This is the only person who teaches 3 year olds here in Moscow, and it's a hoot!

I-D-A-H-O!!!!

Kennedy wants NO part of Joe Vandal...

Kennedy and another future Vandal, Avery Barnes, Ryan's daughter.

You know it's football season when your kids start belting out the Idaho fight song! We'll go by the Kibbie Dome or the "I" tower and all of a sudden I'll hear K belting it out, "I-D-A-H-O, Idaho, Idaho, GO GO GO!!!" It's the funniest thing ever, and it's so great to hear! Yesterday mom and I took the kids to Vandalville (a prefunc gathering that is family friendly put on by the UI), then the football game - they won - yahoo! and then last, but not least, the VB game. It was a fun Vandal day. We didn't last long at the VB match, only due to the kids basically hitting their wall and they were pooped! Here are a couple of pics from the big day yesterday...

K's First day of Preschool!

Little Miss K all ready with her Hello Kitty lunch box!

Many people say she looks like me... I don't see it! LOL!

K in her classroom...

I honestly didn't think I'd be saying this when K was at the age of 3, but she had her first day of pre school yesterday and I think it was successful! She is excited to have teachers just like her big brother Hayden, and she has 3 of her friends in there from our former daycare. The only set back is that she had her first cold and therefore caused a pretty nice cough. But, thankfully, it seems as though she's getting better and her first day as a preschooler was a successful one!

Her Dora backpack is one of her favorites, and loves taking just bologna pieces for lunch. How crazy is that?! Mornings are busy at the Thompson house, but thankfully both kids like school and know the routine!
