2008 Thompson Family Reunion 5-26-08

Thompson A vs. Thompson B Soccer Match

Sadly, the game was over at only 2 points, I
think -- they're all getting a little bit too old
for this stuff, I guess.

There were a ton of kids there -- but none
from my dad's family -- They were so cute.

Uncle Bruce made delicious beef brisket.
I didn't know he was such a great chef :) He
also gave us a very interesting lesson on our
genealogy -- about the Tanners, Browns, and
Andersons. I can't wait to start researching
with my mom and dad, although I know Aunt
Betty has gotten most of it done, but it will
still be fun to learn about it myself.

THE THOMPSONS

BRUCE & BILL --brothers -- we missed
Aunt Betty and Uncle Dan's families and hope
to see more of them and our siblings next year!

THOMPSON BOYS

I had to add this picture of Uncle Bruce's
amazing rose garden. It was gorgeous and so
peaceful. It was great to see all the cousins
and visit them in Fallbrook this Memorial Day.

Yosemite May 2008

Steve's parents took us to Yosemite this week
and it was SO BEAUTIFUL! This was my
first time going, so it was all so amazing to me.
I am so grateful for this wonderful gift of a
world in which we live.

Don't ask what fall -- they all looked the
same to me! (but in a really cool, unique way)

We stayed at the Wawona Hotel -- really old-
fashioned and in a beautiful little meadow. I
loved it, but Steve was really bummed-- no
TV in the rooms!

Update: Still Married :)

For anyone looking at this blog who actually knows us and cares--- we're still married and having fun, I've just been really lazy about keeping up with this blog. Here are a few of the "real" pictures from our photographer, Heather -- I think she did a great job and I would refer her to anyone. She does great family pictures too --if you want her contact info, let me know.
