Always Keep the Bathroom Door Closed

Or you will get this...


I guess it's better that he flushes the toilet than having him pulling all the toilet paper off the spinner.

Evan is just getting so fast! I was working in the Living Room and I see him leave through the kitchen. He was gone less than a minute and all of a sudden I hear the toilet flushing. It actually scared me at first because I really didn't know what it was. When I realized it was the toilet I went to go get him. I set him back down in the Living Room and I saw him wonder back through the kitchen. He did it again so I had to get a picture :). When he was down again, he made a b-line to the bathroom and started laughing so I followed him and closed the door. He knows how to keep his mom on her toes.

We Bleed Blue!!

One last day before kick off! Go Cougars!!!

Bomb Shelter

That's right! We have one. Any family or friends that have been to our place have seen our bomb shelter but it really wasn't much to look at because the previous owners have left a lot of junk and having a few things of ours down there it was a mess! After living in this house a little over a year, we finally cleaned it out starting late Friday night after Evan went to bed and finished Saturday late afternoon. We thought the shelter could have been just a place for storage but it had to be a bomb shelter because the old guy that built and used to live here had it wired for everything. Our suspicions were confirmed when we found a key labeled "Fall Out". Anyways, we finally have a place to store our food storage so we're both really excited about it. I guess it can serve it's purpose if we ever do get bombed but I hope that will never happen. We are the only ones in the area with one and it's a running joke in our ward that they can store their food storage at our place. For those that haven't seen it, it extends out into the backyard and it's below the basement. Here are some pictures for you to see! We are so proud.


It looks like you are stepping back into the 60's.

This shows you how big the place is. Matt is about 6' tall.



After we spent all that time cleaning, we went to Spanish Fork to visit with both family's. We swam and had a great time seeing everyone. On our way home Matt wanted to look for a flat bed scanner so while he was looking at them, I stayed in the car with Evan. I had a great idea just to take pictures of him whether he was smiling or not so you can see the many different faces of Evan Thompson.



Evan is starting to dance to music. It's been fun!

Utah County Fair

We were invited to attend the Utah County Fair this evening with Matt's Parents. I've never been to a fair that I remember so this was a once in a life time experience with me. The high light of the evening were the animals. Whenever Evan sees a cat or dog he just stops in his tracks to look at it and makes a noise to mimic whatever sound they are making. I think it's so cute so I knew he would enjoy the animals. There were a lot of cows and sheep that we could touch.

This was the prettiest cow there. We wanted to pet her but she was looking at us so we thought to move on to the next cow. This picture is really for my mom because she loves cows.


This is the first time Evan got to see and touch a cow.


When we went through the sheep cages Evan was making his little noise like he does the cats and dogs. It was so cute. We caught a short video footage of Evan petting the sheep.


At Fairs there are always things on display. We were looking at things and I saw something that looked familiar to me. It was a picture that I saw hanging in my brothers room. It wasn't him that submitted it but I thought it was cool seeing him on display with a bunch of girls. I wonder if he knows about it.



We stopped over at Wal-Mart on our way home to get camping supplies for the weekend. We wanted to be fast so we separated. I went into cosmetics and while I was looking for what I needed, a Wal-Mart employee accidentally dropped Finger Nail Polish. With my luck it happened to break and it got all over my sandals, pants and a drop on my shirt! The lady couldn't believe what happened but she hurried and got some remover to try to get it off but with no luck. She told me to go to Customer Service so I did. When I started telling the Manager what happened the employee arrived to explain what happened so my story was creditable. She took care of me and I left with a $50.00 gift card. What a crazy shopping experience.

9 Months!

Evan is now 9 months old! He had his nine month check up today and he's still very healthy but very skinny.

Weight: 15.52 0.57 %tile
Length: 28.25 50.29 %tile
Head Circumference: 17.6 in 32.1 %tile



I try to fatten him up but he's just too active. I don't mind because he's just too much fun! Over the weekend on Saturday when he turned 9 months we went to the Provo pool with Amy and Austin. I have so much fun with Evan when we go swimming. I'm going to miss the pool when it closes next week :(.



Later that evening Matt, Nathan and I went up Trail Fork to go look for a camp site so we can go camping this weekend. We found a great spot where we can shot our guns just a few yards from our camp site. I'm really excited about this because I haven't been camping since I was 17 or 18. I may have gone two years ago when I was a young women leader but we stayed in cabins. I don't count that as camping. This will be the real thing. While we were up in the mountains, Evan stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Thompson. He had fun playing the piano. He will be a great pianist.





Last but not least, Evan loves to feed himself now. I have a hard time keeping the spoon from him. I just gave up the other day and just let him have fun.



Now he just needs to learn how to use the right end.

Thank You!

Thank you Uncle Ike and Grandma for those five outfits. I look so stylish in them.

I love you!

Evan





PS. I had Spaghetti for the first time. It was YUMMY!
