Wyatt Invades California!!

We have had a busy week with Wyatt here. I decided that I would do a one week recap for each week that Wyatt is here.
Shane and Wyatt arrived in California on Monday morning. Wyatt was so excited to finally be in California and excited for his summer vacation to begin. We did not do too much monday. We came back to the house and played. On tuesday we went to the movies and went swimming. Wednesday we went swimming again. Then on Thursday we went to Disneyland. We decided that we would focus the day in Disney's California Adventure. It was such a fun day. We got to go on so many rides, some for the first time. Wyatt was finally tall enough for California Screamin. He loved it!! We went on it 2 times, tried for a third but the ride broke down before we were able to get on. After DCA closed we headed over to Disneyland for fireworks and a few more rides. On friday we were so tired that we stayed around the house. Corbin was over for the day so the boys went swimming again and just played together. On Saturday it was back to Disneyland. This time we focused the day at Disneyland. We went on all our favorite rides. Wyatt got picked to do the Jedi Training Academy. That was the highlight of his day, maybe his life!!! It was a fun day.
Today we went to church and then headed to San Diego to pick Chad and Wendy up at the San Diego Airport. They are going on a cruise today for the week. It was fun to see them and we went to lunch and then dropped them off at the cruise ship. I really hope they have a great time on their cruise!! After that we headed back home but stopped to see Grandma and Grandpa on the way.
That pretty much sums up our first week with Wyatt here. We are having so much fun! But time is flying by! This next week Micheal comes down to play and we are going to Disney for one last day, on my birthday! We have some fun things planned for the 4th. It will be another busy fun filled week! I will post pictures as soon and I get them loaded onto the computer.

Summer is Finally Here!!!

I feel that summer has finally arrived. The past couple of weeks the weather has been the normal June weather here in Cali! We have had the overcast morning and it burns off in the afternoon to nice sunny weather and then it is night again and the sun is gone. But this week the sun has been shining in the morning when we wake up and it stays up all day. We have had perfect 80 degree weather all week. Oh so nice! I do love summer time.

We are so excited for Wyatt to come in just a few days. Shane is flying out saturday morning. He will pick Wyatt up on sunday morning and then they fly to California on Monday morning. I think that is a perfect father's day gift for him. It will be so nice to have Wyatt with us for 3 weeks. We have a lot of fun activites planned for him. We of course will do the usual California things like the beach, and Disneyland. But we are hoping to do a few new things like Wild Rivers water park. But most of all it is going to be a time for us all to be together as a family and just have fun.

With Father's day just ahead I would like to tell my husband how much I love him. I think he is the best father in the world and I am so glad that he has his time coming to spend with Wyatt. I know he misses him so much and is sacraficing so much to be here in California. I would also like my dad Brad and my father in law Gary to know that I love them and I am thankful for everything they do for Shane and I. They are wonderful men and wonderful examples to me. I hope all the other father's out there have a great day on sunday.

Here's to a great summer!!!

A Surprise Vistor at Newport Beach

Yesterday Shane and I went to Mission Viejo first thing in the morning. I had an interview at a dental office there. The interview went really good. I am going back tomorrow to do a working interview. So we will see. After my interview, we headed to Newport Beach to meet Bart, Marti, Ava, and Sophie. They are down from Utah visiting for the week. We got to Newport alittle early and Shane wanted to take some picture on the beach. As we headed down onto the sand we saw a sea lion. It was just a baby. Shane took alot of pictures of him. I posted two pictures below. We were sad that Bart and Marti wern't there to see him. But a short while later they arrived and the sea lion was still there hanging out. It was so cool to take Ava down to see him. They had been to Seaworld the day before so She was excited to see him.

After the Sea Lion encounter we went out on the pier and had lunch at Ruby's Diner. Then walked around alittle bit by the shops. After that Shane and I had to take off. Shane had to get home and ready for work. But we had a great time. It was so nice to see Bart, Marti, Ava, and Sophie. We hope to see more of the family soon!! Enjoy the pictures below. It was so cool to see him so close-up.

What we have been up to!

Well I have no pictures to share. But this past weekend Shane and I were in two different state and both had a great and busy weekend. A couple of weeks ago I surprised Shane with a airplane ticket to Utah. He was so excited to go see Wyatt for the weekend. Wyatt had no idea that he was coming. With the help of Gary and Diane we surprised Wyatt with his dad for the weekend. When I talked to Wyatt after they picked Shane up at the airport he said- Thanks for sending my dad to surprise me, that was the best surprise ever! They had so much fun playing all weekend. They got stuff out of storage and went to the movies and had a family get together. It was great. Thanks to all the Thompson's for making the weekend so great for my boys!!!

For me I stayed home here in California. I babysat Corbin on Friday night. We had fun. He was in a really good mood and was so fun to play with. He spent the night. Then on Saturday we went on some errands, took Corbin and Micheal to the water park and then Brian and Brandie picked Corbin up. That night we went to the movie Night at the Museum. For the rest of the weekend and holiday, I got to see a friend of mine Shelley that I had not seen in a few years. It was fun to catch up on life with her. We had a bar-b-que with the family. Then on tuesday morning Shane came back. It was such a fast but fun weekend.

This week has been going by fast also. It is almost over and that is crazy. Shane started teaching his second class on tuesday afternoon. So now he is full time and teaches from 2:20-10:30pm. So when I get a job here we will probably never see each other except on the weekends. Oh well!!
Hopefully this weekend we will have a day to spend together and do something fun!!

We are now just counting down the days until Wyatt gets to come for his summer vacation. We have a ton of fun things planned to do with him.

Life is Good!!!

This past week has gone by fast. Shane has been busy with this job teaching. He has also started going to some local baseball games and has been shooting pictures of the games and then sets them up online to be sold. He has been doing pretty well with that. It will hopefully turn into a nice side business for us.

I had a couple more interviews last week. Nothing great to report on yet. All of the interviewing is helping me get more comfortable with interviewing and talking to people. On thursday I was in a office interviewing and a weird thing happened. While I was sitting there the front office lady got on a phone call and basically was asking for information on an employee that got arrested two days prior for stealing $4000.00 from the office. So I guess that is why they were hiring. It was just weird since I was not the only one in there waiting room. I just think that was weird to be talking about such a thing with patients in the office.

We had a quite weekend at home. Shane went to shoot pictures, did some yard work, and relaxed.

This next weekend Shane gets to go to Utah to see Wyatt. I am so excited for him. He has been missing him so much. Hopefully they will both have a great time together. Then it will only be 3 1/2 weeks until Wyatt comes down for his summer vacation to spend time with us. We are going to have so much fun.

Next weekend for me-I will be hanging out with the family. We have a beach day planned with Micheal. I am going to dinner with a friend that I have not seen in a while. I am so excited about that. It should be fun. But I will miss Shane and miss getting to go see Wyatt with him.

Oh this past weekend we took Gucci to a park in Riverside that is a dog park. He has so much fun. He meet a couple new friends but mostly loved to sniff everywhere and smell all the other dogs there or that had been there. He was in dog heaven and sad when we had to go. A lady came with 2 dogs that looked like Gucci. It was cute to see 3 little white fur balls running all over the park.

Well life is going good!!!

Another Week is Passing us by!

I can't believe we are into May already. Our weather has been awesome of course. We are really enjoying the warm weather. Last weekend went by so fast. We had a date night with my parents. We went out to dinner and then went to the Redlands Temple. It was a really nice night. I always feel so much peace when we are able to go to the temple and take that time away from the world and reflect on life and get the guidance needed from our Father in Heaven. The funny thing is, that Shane never cleans out his clothes and I wash items all the time that he leaves in his pockets. Well a few weeks back I washed his wallet. So when we got to the temple his temple recommend would not scan. The guy checking us in said: "Sister Thompson's scanned just fine, that is wrong with Brother Thompson's". I quitely told my mom that I washed it and she having the loud mouth that she does, told everyone. So they just inputed it manually and let him in. We talked to the Bishop on Sunday when he came to the house to visit us and he said it is fine. Lesson learned! My husband needs to clean out his pants better!

My parent bought a new car last weekend also. They purchased a Honda CRV. It is really nice. My mom and I took it for a little spin on tuesday night shopping. It is a nice ride. We are taking it again to Bakerfield tonight for my nephew Micheal's open house at school.

Well still no job for me. I had a working interview last friday at a dental office in OC. I was suspose to hear back by Monday but I have not heard anyting yet. My mom told me to call them but I am too much of a chicken to do that. The office is really unorganized and quite crazy so I wouldn't be too sad not to get the job, but I need a job so if I got it then it would be a job that we need me to have! I had another interview yesterday. So something is bound to work out soon for me I hope.

On the other hand, Shane is loving his job. He has one class in the evening right now. We were just told that he would get his second class in the afternoon at the end of this month! We are so excited about that. We were orginally told that he would get his second class in the mornings in june or july. So now it will be in the afternoons so he will go at 2:30-10:30pm. That will work out so nice for when Wyatt comes to visit this summer. They will have all day to be together. Then he will also have some other days he will be taking off.

Well Mother's day is just around the corner. Tomorrow my mom, and I are taking my grandma out for Mother's day. We have an appointment for manicures and pedicures, then we are going to go to dinner at the new Miguel's Restruant at Dos Lago's Lake side. We are excited. Then we are going to try and rent a chick flick. The one we want is Bride Wars. Hopefully we can rent it. All the men will be gone. My dad and Micheal are going on the father/son overnighter with the ward and Shane will be at work. So it should be fun. So I would like to wish all the Mother's out there a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!

The rest of the weekend, Shane and I are going to the OC Market place saturday morning, finishing up our mother's day shopping after that. Then my dad and Micheal should be back so we will play and do what Micheal wants the rest of the day I am sure. On Sunday we have church and then we are going to go to my aunt and uncle's for a Mother's Day celebration in the afternoon.

Micheal's 9th Birthday!!!

As promised here are a few pictures from Micheal's Birthday party this past Saturday. We had alot of fun!
