Picture Perfect

Hello! The Thompson family's wildest dreams came true yesterday!!!! On that fateful day, at approximately 1:40pm a well dressed family walked through the doors of JCPenney's. They got their pictures taken as a family for the very first time. After viewing the pictures and being pleased with the outcome, the photographer asked the magical question, "Would you be willing to sign a release to let us use your picture in-house?" Now I can add that to my list of accomplishments, "Have my portrait make it on the wall of JCPenney's." I've never been happier! We also get $4 off our next purchase there (that does sweeten the deal.) The photographer said that our background is new--and our colors really make it "POP." So, I would like to thank Chase for choosing our clothes for a photo shoot. I really didn't think about modeling backgrounds for JC Penny's as a living. Ha ha. So enjoy the pictures--and the background too.

We Get Around

Let's hear a big OOH---HA!!!!!!!! I can't hear you.... My son and I have some way exciting news! First of all, Carter is now doin' the ARMY crawl all around the house! He gets around....yeah
Get around round round I get around(beach boys)

Well, this is one of my mini-accomplishments...I have been trying really hard to commit and be totally serious about the E--word....do I dare blog about it?? I kept going back and forth in my mind about this subject matter...and I decided if it makes me happy...it could make you happy--or even laugh...but I CAN'T HEAR YOU! HA! It is called EXERCISE. My mom and sisters are so good at doing this--"exercise." They get up in the wee hours of the morning...and walk, or run. Blah. Not my cup of...kool-aid. I like to sleep. And my goal in life is to be less-active...and I'm good at it. But I have come across something that has changed my life....FOR-EV-VER! I would like to thank Good Will and the best $1.99 I have spent my entire life.....I am now--- Sweatin' to the oldies with--Richard Simmons! The first day I popped that old VHS in, (I haven't re-wound/re-wind a tape in ages...as you can see I already forgot the past-tense for it) and I began to laugh...and Carter began to stare at the TV and at me, as Richard says, "LET'S SWEAT!" And then the music begins, and I am loving every minuet of it! I feel like I am not exercising, just dancing in my own living room, and I have to admit, I found joy it it. I have been doing this, "exercise," as you might call it, for almost two weeks straight! And my muscles are sore--and its da best!!! So I just wanted to say I love the feeling I get when I exercise. According to Richard, (great...I am now quoting him in my blog...) I can turn my body into a fat burning machine...if I only BELIEVE! I go to bed singing the songs, and waking up the next day and CAN'T WAIT to turn on that VHS and dance to it! I guess I can blog on and on about my new joy of Sweatin' to the oldies with good ole Richard. I just love it.
