Scott and I celebrated our 13 year anniversary on September 4! What a fun milestone to hit. We are in the teens. Seems like a long time and yet it has flown. In a few short years I will have been a Thompson as long as I was a Sutherland!! Read the rest of this entry »

Yep, Jaime got to go do baptisms in the temple for the first time. What an amazing experience. She was smiling all day and just beaming as we drove to the temple. Read the rest of this entry »

I was a little more concerned with this crowd as they were younger and we didn’t have a set plan of action. But that is how Alix usually rolls. She has an idea and it is perfect in her mind and I just don’t see it. She’s creative and I’m not! Read the rest of this entry »
