Revenge of the Sippy Cup!

My kids wanted daddy's "spicy juice" (Sprite) so I thought I'd put it in their sippy cups, not realizing that the carbonation creates a funny reaction in this type of pressurized cup thanks to the stopper. The kids figured it out and soon were squirting soda all over the counter and floor and laughing...then Cooper learned a lesson (12 second mark)...I'm contemplating submitting to America's Funniest Home Videos...it would be fun if this went viral...feel free to share with your friends:

New Year/New Projects

Here we are, 2012 and we're off and rolling.  Lots of changes coming up this year (FYI: that's not a baby announcement, unless you know something that we don't).  There's a nervous excitement in the air at our house at what the year will bring.  Andi is working hard with her doTerra business and loves sharing the essential oils with people.  She is busy as you could expect trying to keep up with our almost 2 year olds (next week!) and get everything done that she needs to during the day.

Curtis and his friends just launched a new political social networking website vlobby.com and they excited to see what it grows into. It has been two years since they started formulating the site and they are ready to move it forward.

He is also excited to finally finish his Fraud Examiner certification.

Cooper and Kennedy are as happy as can be (most of the time) and have flirted with the idea of starting their "terrible two's" a little early.  You can't help but smile and laugh sometimes even when they are stinkers.

Here are few pictures of these two crazy kids. Enjoy!

December for the Thompsons

 Look at my cute little towns people:)

December was a joy for us.  It started out with the live nativity that our friend’s parents started years ago.  It’s more like a play to music.  No one has speaking parts, but you go on and off stage depending on the role you play.  We were towns people.  We went on and paid our taxes and sat in front of the inn.  Cooper and Kennedy were fascinated with the lights and the donkeys.  They kept saying “Yook! Yites!” (look! lights!) and “it’s a donkey.”  Maybe they’ll add those speaking parts to the nativity next yearJ

We had to put the presents under the tree away until the big day because the kids were having a hard time leaving them alone.  Kennedy tried to use one as a stool and fell off.  While I was consoling her I heard a ripping sound and then Cooper exclaimed “it’s a toy!!!”  He was so happy.  It broke my heart that we had to put it away. 

Christmas was awesome.  Kennedy was more fascinated with unwrapping presents than anything else.  Before she could even see what it was she was running back to the tree saying “again, again.”  Cooper got frustrated with the wrapping and didn’t mind when Kennedy helped.  It's all so much more fun with little ones.
