Emma's Birthday!

2009-06-04T16:13:00.000-07:00

With Kolvin getting here and all that has been going on I have not had a chance to post Emma's birthday. Emma turned 5 on May 17th. She had cake and ice cream with all of her cousins and played in the water. I am so greatful to have Emma. She is such a blessing in our lifes. She is fun loving and very caring little girl. We just enjoy every minute we have with her. Love you Emma...Happy birthday.

Picture Day

2009-05-29T17:03:00.000-07:00

So my BFF (that sounds funny to me:) Anndee got a fancy new camera for the fun of it a little while ago and so she came over yesterday to play with it while she took pictures of my kids. Kolvin was not feeling it so we didn't any really great ones of him, but Emma was another story. She bossed Anndee around the whole time saying "Now take one here, Take one of me doing this" over and over and over again. It was really fun!

We thought this picture was kinda funny...he is looking at his name like he is not sure he likes it

Here is Emma being a Diva

I have the cutest kids!!!

A few pics....more are coming

2009-05-25T11:27:00.000-07:00

After I posted my last posted I poked around and look at everyones blogs since I haven't been on in a while and a found that my friend Cortney had posted pictures of Kolvin that Daniel had sent her, so I stole them so you can see him until I am able to get some more.

He is Here!!!

2009-05-25T10:36:00.000-07:00

Just thought I would let you all know that Kolvin is finally here. He was born on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 at 10:05pm. he was 4.15 pounds and 17.5 inches. He was 3 weeks and 4 days early. He is doing great. He and I came home together on on Thursday night. I went in to the doctor tuesday evening to have my stitch removed. When this was done we found that I was already dialated to a 4+ so she wouldn't send me home. I pushed through two contrations and he was here. Most people are surprised to here that he was able to come home being under 5 pounds, but we say he is a healthy normal baby just in a little tiny body. I will try and get some pictures posted soon, but my camera is being funny and won't pull them up right now. Thanks to everybody for your prayers we know it played at great part in getting him here, safe and healthy.

Scare Update

2009-04-02T21:50:00.000-07:00

Just a little update on my previous blog....I went to the doctor on Wednesday and everything is still great. Kolvin is growing rapidly. He has a big head, big feet, and very long legs my doctor says. If you ask Bracken he will becoming out with mesh basketball shorts on like his dad:) I might be the first to break the family wrestling tradition...sorry!

Little scare....Thanks goodness no big deal!

2009-03-29T16:06:00.000-07:00

On saturday night Daniel and I were down in Salt Lake, when I noticed that I had started spotting a little. Ofcourse I feaked out and called my doctor (which is what I am suppose to do:) and she happened to be out of town, but the on call doctor told me that I needed to come in. So we head back to Ogden. On the way ofcourse we thought of all the worest possible reasons why this was happening. After they checked us in the took us to a room (It happen to be the room right next door to where I had lived for a month and a half, an it all felt alittle too familar) My parents met us there and Daniel and my dad gave me a blessing (I am so greatful to have the priesthood in my home) They ran some tests and found out that all that was wrong is that I have a bladder infection, which is funny because I just had Emma in the ER last weekend for the same thing, but they promised it is not contagious:) They sent us home and that was it. I do have an appointment with my doctor this week just to double check everything but, otherwise we are still doing great! They will take my stitch out in about seven weeks. My doctor expects me to have Kolvin at that time but if not they will induce me two weeks later, so I am on the count down nine more weeks tops! I can't believe it!

Newest Edition to Our Family

2009-02-22T17:21:00.000-08:00

Those of you who know my husband really well know what an animal lover he is. A year and a half ago he brought home our Chihuahua, Chrisma. Then a couple of days ago he added another edition to our family, Tayder. Emma just loves, loves, loves the puppies and I have to say they have grown on me too.

San Fran!

2009-02-22T17:00:00.000-08:00

I am a little late getting this posted but I had so much fun that I still wanted to. Back on the first of Feb. my friend Amber and I went to San Fran. for a conference for school. The school paid for EVERYTHING, so we both got a much needed vacation. Our principal kept joking about how we needed to stay out of trouble and we kept reminding her that we didn't think two pregnant ladies could get in that much trouble:) We went for 4 days and had a great time mainly vacationing...we did manage to make it to a little bit of the conference too:)

We made it!

2009-02-15T21:11:00.000-08:00

I was put in as the beehive advisor about a month ago, and last week I was teaching a lesson on womenhood and finding joy in your divine potential. I bawled through my whole lesson. I don't know if the girls could even understand me. I was so emotional. When my lesson was over I was talking to the other older women and the bishop that had sat in on the lesson about how i couldn't believe what an emotional mess I was and then it hit me. This is the start to the last week of my pregancy with Abbe. Well of course I was going to be emotional. I did really good for the next couple of days and Daniel being the great husband that he is was a huge help. Tuesday was the day in my current pregnancy that I lost Abbe. We stayed home together as a family all night and just spent time together which we don't get to do very off and we made it through! I am now passed the point when I lost Abbe. I am not in the hospital :) I am not having a single complication! Kolvin is already 5oz bigger than Abbe was when I lost her and is moving around like crazy! Most important I feel great, the baby is great, and we couldn't ask for more. Thank you for all your prayers on our little families behalf. We know that they have been a great help in getting us this far and will continue to help us as we push along for the next three and a half months:)

It's a BOY!!!

2009-01-08T22:10:00.000-08:00

I didn't want to get my hopes up because everybody is having boys lately. I knew for sure I would be the one to break the chain, but I am proud to say I am not and Daniel is getting himself a little boy. I went to the doctor on wednesday and everything is looking great and NORMAL! I also started my shots in my hip that are suppose to help my body to not reject the baby. I have to go in once a week to have these shots givin to me. And of course while I was there she asked if I wanted to know what we were having. I proably should have said no because Daniel wasn't with me due to the fact he had to work, but I couldn't wait any longer. My friend Cortney had come down earlier to hang out with me so we had gone and gotten some cute boy and girl outfits. I deceided to give daniel a gift full of baby items related to the sex of the baby. After my appointment Cortney and I went to dinner and then I rushed home to tell Daniel the news. He had already call and texted me four times wanting to know. I went straight to his work and when I gave him the gift and he opened it he couldn't stop smiling and saying "are you serious, is this for real, am I really going to have a boy" It was great to see how excited he was. When I told Emma she was going to have a brother the first thing she asked was "Is he coming right now?" Then she said that it would be fun to have a brother. Later she got a little sad when she told grandma that she wouldn't get to share her room with the baby, but grandma (hardy) told her that she probably still would get to since we live in such a tiny house:) We will see. Anyways we are very excited and counting our blessing everyday as things continue to go smoothly. Thanks for all your prayers!

Painting

2009-01-04T17:43:00.000-08:00

So back in about June, Daniel and I were home cooking when the oil started on fire and got out of control burning our cabinet doors, ceiling, and sending black smoke through most of the house. Well its about time but we finally got the kitchen back to normal and its great! Since I am not suppose to be painting I monitored from other rooms in our house, while Daniel, Anndee, Mom, Dad and even Emma did all the work. Thanks guys your great!!

Christmas!!!

2008-12-26T11:01:00.000-08:00

Emma and I spent Christmas Eve morning decorating our candy Christmas trees!

I got alittle carried away with her hair. This is right before we left for the annual Hardy Christmas Party

Every year my parents give the kids a new pair of PJs that they get to wear on Christmas Eve. Emma was so excited about hers this year, because they have kitties on them. She was trying to show off her bum, because it has paw prints on it:)

Finally Christmas Day is here!!! Emma was a blast! She was so cute!!! She said in the morning when Daniel went to wake her up "Dad, I know Santa is magic, because I never even heard him!"

Later that morning we went out to my parents to talk to Kelton. He sounded so good. Emma was excited to talk to him and tell him that she got something that he would like. She got a farm. She is really in to little pastic animals right now so Daniel got her a little farm from IFA. She also had to tell Kelton that Santa brought her a frozen bananna, that had turned brown...Oops, not always a good idea to hide everything in the back of the car :) She was also so excited that Santa brought her dad chicken wire. For those of you who know Daniel you know how excited he was about that. I got some yummy smelling perfume from my hubby. We had a great Christmas and hope that everybody did too.

Twlight

2008-11-30T17:53:00.000-08:00

So I know I am a little late posting my thoughts on Twlight, but I loved it. The best part of the movie was that when it was over Daniel and Bryce didn't want it to be. Cortney and I had to explain the rest of the books to the all the way home. Even better Daniel took me to it again! He is a great husband!

2008-11-16T20:12:00.001-08:00

Daniel and I are going to twilight Saturday night with Cortney and Bryce...I can't wait!!! The boys kinda laugh at us but they are going to be great sports and brave the movie with us. I figured I had to re-read the book before the movie came out so I spent the whole weekend doing so...I am so EXCITED!!!

Exciting News!!!

2008-11-07T21:17:00.000-08:00

Daniel and I are very excited to announce that we are expecting again! We are also a little nervous, but we have a very optimistic attitude! We went to the doctor on Wednesday and everything is looking great. I am almost ten weeks. We are going to the same doctor that helped us through everything that we went through with Abbe. She is being very cautious. I will have doctor visits every three weeks until I am 18 weeks. Once I hit 18 weeks I will have regular weekly checks along with a shot in my hip that is suppose to help my body carry the baby longer and also make the baby develop a little quicker just to be on the safe side. I will be stitched again on Dec. 2nd. I feel like we are very prepared to deal with whatever may come, but I also feel like Daniel and I have gotten our life in line with the lords plans and we will be blessed. Still any extra prays in our behalf couldn't hurt:)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

2008-11-01T19:06:00.001-07:00

Halloween kinda sucked this year. Emma spent the night with Adam and Daniel had to work. So I spent the evening with my grandma. Before Emma left I got to get her dressed and I took her to her few friends around the neighbor. She looked so cute!!!

So....I know I am a little behind....Sorry!

2008-10-21T20:34:00.000-07:00

Life in the Thompson home has been crazy over the last few months. I was at dinner with my family a couple saturdays ago and my cousin Tara reminded me that my blog was in need of an update so....here we go
School has kept me more than busy but thats another story for right now I want to talk about the happiest most amazing thing that has happened in my life since having Emma and marrying Daniel. On October 18th we were sealed as a forver family in the Manti Temple...Daniel, Me, Abbe, and yes even Emma. People sometimes amaze you and show you a good side you weren't sure they had, thats what happened when Adam agreed to let Daniel and I have Emma sealed to us. It was the most amazing experice. Words can't desrcibe how full my life fills now. I am so greatful for the amazing husband that I have who has taken on all of the things that he did when he married me and who has helped me to be a better person. Daniel, I love you so much thanks for being you and being so amazing! We also celebrated our one year anniversary on Oct. 5. Daniel got us a room at the Anninversary in (Phantom of the Opera) Those of you who know me well know how much I love that opera. We also went to Market Street Grill with our friends Cortney and Bryce who celebrated their 1 year anniversary just two weeks before. They are such great friends.

The 24th of July

2008-07-24T21:30:00.000-07:00

Our lives have been alittle crazy lately. I am moving to a new school this year and Daniel has just started a 2nd job. Between me trying to get moved into my new classroom and Daniels crazy hours at work, we haven't had much family time. So I have been looking forward to the 24th when Daniel and I would both be home to spend some much needed family time with Emma. We ended up having all of Bracken's kids because they both had to work and my parents are out of town. It was alot of fun! Emma loves her cousin, so she was glad to get to spend some time with them. We started out the day by going to Emma's swimming lessons. Bailey and Lainey stayed and helped Grandma Anderson water her flowers and Deegan came with Emma and I (Daniel was at his main job, he just got his second one off) Emma loves her swimming lessons, most of the time:) Today was a good day. Then we came home and I took all the kids to the park for a picnic while Daniel got alittle nap (he works really early hours) After we got home from the park and Daniel was up we took the kids swimming at the Brigham City pool for the afternoon. They had alot of fun. Emma had just learned at swimming lessons that she could float by herself with a life jacket, so thats all she wanted to do. Bracken's girls are little fish as well and they loved it. Deegan on the other hand was not a big fan. He clung to Daniel pretty much the entire time:) I am so lucky that Daniel is such a great guy. Secretly he loved it! After we were all water logged we came home and had snow cones and KFC Chicken. Then the kids helped Daniel feed his birds while they waited for their parents to come. Over all it was a pretty great day. I was just so glad to finally get to spend some time with Daniel. I miss getting to see him so much. I have taken our time together for granted. Now I realize how much every minute counts!

Day that the Park

Playing with Sparklers on the 4th

2008-07-06T20:35:00.001-07:00

We got a bunch of sparklers for the girls to play with after the fireworks, but we forgot to get matches so there are a few pictures of the girls waiting patiently:) for uncle Shay to bring his lighter. Also Emma did what every little girl does a couple weeks ago and that is cut her own hair so I snuck in a picture of that too.

4th of July

2008-07-06T20:32:00.001-07:00

We spent the 4th of July in Bear Lake. We had a great time. Here are some pictures of Emma and Lainey on the beach.

4th of July Car Show

2008-07-06T19:12:00.000-07:00

My family loves Jeeps. My dad and my uncles spend most of their free time rebuilding or working on their Jeeps. On the 4th of July there was a car show in Perry. The guy over the car show called and asked our family to bring their Jeeps. Here are some pictures.

Our little Farm!

2008-07-06T19:03:00.000-07:00

For those of you who know my husband it is no surprise that our backyard is filled with animals, mainly birds. For those of you who know me your probably wondering how we ever enderd up together. Its true I may have grown up on a farm, but I am not much of an animal person and now I have animals all over the place. We have 3 dogs (one inside and two outside), 1 kitten, 2 geese, and around 60+ pheasants and anothers. Oh and 9 chickens and 12 ducks. Thats our little farm!

Still working at it!

2008-07-02T22:01:00.000-07:00

Well I am slowly figuring this whole blog thing out. There have been no real changes in our little family. We are going great and loving the summer. Emma starts swimming lessons next week and it is all that she talks about. I will get some new pictures posted soon.

I am so lucky!

2008-06-02T20:20:00.000-07:00

Well it has been a month since the passing of Abbe and sometimes it still seems like it was just yesterday, but we are doing great. It is sad but sometimes it takes something as tragic or dramatic as was happened to really realise what you have. I have always been very proud of Emma, but she is such a blessing in my life! And Daniel, words can not describe how blessed I am to have him. Those two have helped me through the hardest time in my life! I am so lucky to have such a great husband and daughter, and little angel watching over us all in heaven!

2008-05-19T21:34:00.000-07:00

I feel so old!!! My husband just turned 23....(But I am already 25!!!) and Emma just turned 4!We had some great birthdays

2008-05-06T14:08:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures of my 2nd beautiful daughter Abbe. She was born on April 30, 2008 and passed away just a few short minutes after. It is amazing the impact that she had and continues to have on our life. The saying that is shown in pictures with her feet is so true, there is no foot too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world. We know that we are so lucky and blessed to have had her here with us for the short period of time that we did and it affects all of our actions from here on out.

2008-02-17T20:14:00.000-08:00

Well all my friends keep telling me that I need to start one of these so here it goes. Bear with me while I figure it all out
