NOT moving, or dieing, but close...JK

I remember a few years ago Matt taking a stress management class. He brought a list home and showed me the top ranking things that cause major stress in Life. I remember that moving, death in the family, birth in the family, and changing jobs were at the very top of the list. There were others, but I can't remember them right off:) We moved and had a baby last year... check - I don't want to even joke about dieing, so, let's talk about changing jobs shall we... :)

Matt has enjoyed working at Hill AF Base. It has been good to us. BUT, that being said, he was always wanting something a little different, just not sure what. Last year a friend introduced him to being a Loan Officer for Home Morgages. Matt fell in LOVE. He enjoys working with people, he enjoys getting great rates and crunching numbers. He loves helping people save money and get into a loan that will be the best for them. He has loved this second job for a long time. Well, after much thought and prayer and trying to follow the spirit, we (who are NOT big risk takers) are risking it. Matt is going to be a Loan Officer full time. He turned in his two week notice at the base Friday. This is our leap of faith... Here we go!
SO, if you know anyone who is buying a house or wants to refinance at a rate near 4% Matt would love to help out.:)

Keep us in your prayers, I'm scared to "death".

Private Thompson

I have been pondering going private for a while... I don't want to exclude friends from keeping up, but I am nervous to have info out there for everyone in the world too... so, if you are family, friend, or an extended family and would like to keep up on our family let me know and I'll add your e-mail address to the list. Have a fantastic day!!!!

Life Update

So So So much has happened... all wonderful and exciting... I've taken pictures, but they haven't made it to the blog yet, I'd love to share them all, but here are a few of my favorites for now.

Cole's Blessing Day

He is such a good natured little man. We love to hear him coo and laugh.

Jake turned 3!!!

I LOVE that smile!!!

Easter in Idaho!

Cole and Grandma C's jumping bunny:)

Funny for the day: I was buckling Jake into his car seat and I told him to turn around and sit down... and he started singing "and that's what it's all about..." I couldn't help but giggle, what a goof!

Our Funniest Home Video

I used a quarter of an onion for dinner. Jake picked up the other quarter and started to eat each layer individually. We sat down to play Cooties after dinner and he was still munching away on his "treat". I thought it would be fun to archive this... but I had no idea ...:)

Got Dressed by Myself!!!

We have the rule at our house that we have to have 4 things done before we can watch cartoons in the morning. Eat breakfast, get dressed, do our hair, and make our bed... Jake was so excited to get dressed all by himself... and I giggled as he came to show me his accomplishment! What a cutie!!!

2 Months and smiling!!

It has been so fun to have Cole! He had his 2 month check up this week and weighs 12 lbs. That puts him in the 65%. He has been smiling for a while, but he just started coo-ing and "talking". So fun!

Welcome Little Cole!!!
