Birthdays!

Someone turned 4! Can you guess who?... That's right, our adorable Caleb!
He is getting so big. He asked for “A pigeon drive a bus” cake. We are huge Mo Willems fans over here at casa de Thomson. Caleb also chose the dinner- a natural coupling with the themed cake: hotdogs. He also picked the sides: bananas and chips. (check out those classic New England hotdog buns, yeesh)



For his birthday he received a sprinkler (he is just itching for some warm weather), kid-sized yard tools, gardening gloves, a toy vacuum, lincoln logs, toy cars, binoculars, and glow-in-the-dark stars.
You know, typical geeky Caleb stuff. We sure do love him. :)


I just was made aware that I never posted anything for Nathanael’s birthday. Curse of the subsequent child, I’m afraid. So here is the break down his celebration.

I made a small Ah-lah-yah (or however you want to spell it) cake using blue frosting and almond bark for details. It is a known fact that fondant and babies don’t mix. Heck, most adults and fondant don't mix. ;)


Nate received his very own Ah-lah-yah as a birthday gift and there was much, much rejoicing. A life-long dream had been realized. (And lost since I have no idea where his blue friend is at the moment!)


We love our boys so much and couldn’t imagine life without them... we speculate it would be terribly dull and not nearly as cute, though.

Caleb turns 4!

Project Semi-annual, Spring 2012


Diverse Conference experiences captured and shared.
(Probably the easiest way to invite someone into your home for Conference without the clean-up!)



Here’s the gist:
take some pictures that reflect your Conference weekend, create an online album or blog post and share, please! Leave a comment on THIS post. Invite others to join in the fun, but REMEMBER TO tell friends to post back here so others (okay, mostly me) can enjoy.

Next to Me




I guess

you can consider this a mushy Valentine’s Day post.
{SORRY}


The other day I heard a cover of an Emrli Sandé song (Next to Me). I fell head over beat for this song. It describes my husband perfectly. How could I not love him?








Listen to the cover here and
below are the lyrics…

You won’t find him drinking at the table
Rolling dice and staying out til 3
You won’t ever find him being unfaithful
You will find, you will find him next to me

You won’t find him trying to chase the devil
For money fame power out of grief
You won’t ever find him where the rest go
You will find him, find him next to me

Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
You will find him, you’ll find him next to me

When the money’s spent and all my friends have vanished
And I can’t seem to find no help or love for free
I know there’s no need for me to panic
Cause I’ll find him, I’ll find him next to me

When the skies are grey and all the doors are closing
And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
All I need is a helping hand to stop the tears from
falling
I will find him, will find him next to me

Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
You will find him you’ll find him next to me

When the end has come and buildings falling down fast
When we spoilt the land and dried up all the sea
When everyone’s lost their head around us
You will find him, you’ll find him next to me

Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
Next to me ooooh
You will find him, you’ll find him next to me

If this song reminds you of a man in your life, please tell him! I don’t think they hear it enough! It’s hard to be a good man nowadays. I'm glad my husband is up for the labor. : )
