My Best Friend's Wedding

There are way too many amazing things to be said about my best friend-of-all-time! Lindsey and I consider ourselves sisters and I was so proud to be among the many people who love her on her wedding day on September 11, 2010! Please visit Scott Burton's photography website to view all the photos from this amazing day!
I won't even bother telling the life story of our friendship! So many of you already know my precious "poohs" history...
I honestly can't think of a single human who thinks poorly of her. She is an angel walking this earth...
and I know that everyone who reads this will agree to that
Eli is so blessed to have her as his wife!
Readers, treasure your friends! You never know when they will be nearly taken away from you!
I'm so proud to announce that Mr. and Mrs. Eli Dew are actually moving back to Kosciusko NEXT WEEK!
When we were growing up I would call and invite Lindsey over when my mom made me clean my room...so that she could help me! hahaha...apparently I was either really clever or really rude to my bestie!
I'm so thankful she still loves me and and I'm praying she'll be willing to help me clean my room still today!

Sweet Summer 2010

Sweet little birthdays

We celebrated Miss Sophie and Miss Ava Bell's birthday this weekend...Kudos to Heidi Bell for making the most precious birthday cake ever! Sorry about the lack of photos...excited children do not sit still!

It was AMAZING...and yummy too!

Good lookin' boys!

Sitting still for a 5 year old is quite a challenge!

Chap's first haircut! He behaved so well and didn't complain at all!
He sat very still! We were so proud of our boy...I still can't believe we were able to wait until his 2 yr birthday to cut off his sweet little baby curls!

The finished product! Please just pretend he is smiling perfectly! Chap hates attention!!!

Finally...a girl!

NO I'm totally not preggo! I shouldn't have done that...haha...gotta keep ya'll on your toes!
We would love to present our newest Thompson edition...Stella Valentina. My precious husband gave me her for Valentine's Day! She is such a little blessing...if you know me at all you know how I love my pups. Stella is a third generation champion bloodline Doberman Pinscher...and matches her big furry brother to boot! She is so sweet and so intelligent. She is 13 weeks old now and has already learned her sit, stay and lay down commands. Stella's grandmother is a famed LeGard Doberman bred in Germany. Even if she were a regular ol' Doberman with no bells or whistles she would still be my baby! We are undergoing the ridiculously tedious ear-cropping process...Doberman's are born with naturally floppy ears. In order to have the ears stand you have to first have the cropping surgery and go through weeks and weeks of binding and standing. We decided not to have this done with Ty and I am beginning to wonder if we've made the right decision to do it with Stella. She did very well with the surgical process and 1st binding. As of right now we are healing the sutures and will begin step 2 of binding on Tuesday. I will post pictures as soon as her sutures heal well enough for her to look normal. Bless her heart...if you are one of the few who have seen her recently you would understand how frustrating this process it!!!! She will be one beautiful girl really soon!

So, I'm finding out...it's true...they grow up way too fast...

Happy birthday you precious boy. You have brought endless amounts of happiness to our family. From the moment I first stared into your magical little eyes I knew that you would change our lives forever. We admire you for how intelligent you are...and so sensitive at the same time. You are our little snugly man...always welcoming your Mommy and Daddy's hugs and kisses. Chap, we have high expectations for you...because we see so much potential in you. I could watch you play all day...carefully calculating every move you make...always trying to "figure it out". You have been and always will be Mommy's boy. I must be one lucky Mommy to have you...We love you sweet little man...

Two of a kind

It's no secret...they are serious buds. "Uncle Jason" and my sweet Jamie came to spend the afternoon and the evening with us Saturday while Jason was in town for his gig that night. Poor J can't do ANYTHING without Sammie being glued to his side. He wouldn't even leave him alone while J changed into his "work clothes". Miss ya'll already J and J!

Go ahead, sing along. You know you want to.

So, this is probably a little late since we are 2 months into 2010...
Take a peek at this super cool/slightly annoying combo of 2009's top videos!
Who has time to do this?? Seriously...

Our Wild Boys

Bless us...we can't get a good family picture to save our lives!

I actually like this one! Notice Chap only has on one shoe!

Surprise Chivas!

Sweet besties!

Oh my word...his cake was hilarious!

Chivas' surprise birthday party was TOO much fun! Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with us! It's a birthday he will never forget!
