Here are some entries Scott has written in the last month on his family’s private website. It’s fun to read Scott’s point of view. His thoughts should be in our family history too.

Sami is out of town at girls camp and I’m home holding down the fort. I made pancakes the other day for breakfast, but we were low on syrup. So, I pulled a page out of Erma Lee’s book. I grabbed a can of peaches and poured them in a blender along with some cinnamon and sugar and blended it together.
I thought it was yummy. The pancakes were whole wheat, and the flavors really worked. Milo also really liked it. Interestingly, the girls stuck with what maple syrup we had left. I thought for sure they would have liked it. Oh, well. More for the boys.

Hope everyone had a good July 4th. I got up early and cooked 12 pounds of bacon. What a great way to start the day! Bacon is just meat candy. We enjoyed our wards annual July 4th breakfast, went to the parade (very nice this year), went on a loooooong family walk
and had a BBQ. All in all, very good.
Proud to be an American. I also often take the time on the 4th to count my blessings. And I have to say, the Fremont Thompsons are richly blessed.

Well, it’s officially here. Or will be in 4 more days. Jaime will be a teenager. Of course, we really have two teenagers in the house, Alix is growing up more each day. My girls will kill me for writing this, but it must be recorded for posterity.
I first noticed boys checking out my daughters about 2 years ago. I distinctly remember the first time I ever saw a boy check Jaime out. I’ve adjusted to that fact of life and no longer want to maim boys who gawk. However, today on our walk, a boy rode his bike out of his way just to show off for our girls and check them out. We were at a park, and he actually rode over to the playground, circled, jumped his bike and left, all while watching to see if my
girls noticed. He had a friend with him who wasn’t as bold, but who managed to look back over his shoulder as they rode off.
I gotta tell ya, it’s something else to witness a boy try and get a girls attention. Jaime and Alix will never admit it, but I think they enjoy it.
It’s dangerous having cute daughters.
I enjoy Scott’s thoughts! Keep ’em coming!
