One of my Favorite weekends spent with my favorite people

This weekend we had Jenn and Phil over. We had supper: Meatball subs, chips, veggies and dip, cheese ball and hot fudge brownies for dessert. We had so much fun. We girls and found out the guys too...talked about their wedding. I got to try on my dress. Very pretty...a tad big, but after altering it will work. The boys were laughing their heads off on YOUTUBE and then got us in to it. Then they decided to make some prank phone calls...Jenn and I felt like we were back in grade school, but it was really funny. Guess we all have our times of "rolling back to our childhood". We didn't get to bed till about 2:30.

Saturday we got up and we went to Flower Factory...actually we girls did, looking for wedding stuff and I got some scrapbook things and a new item for my bedroom. The guys set out in the car after a quick trip to McD's for a drink. Then we all went to the mall. We had so much fun. We ate lunch and sat and talked forever. After we hurried back home, we both had cook outs to go to we parted ways. I was so glad to spend time with one of my bestest and LONGEST friend...and to just catch up. And also to get closer to Phil...who I think brings out the best in Jenn!!!! I am so excited that they are getting married.

the happy couple
Friends forever
KISSY FACE!!!!
After 5 years we still do the "KISSY FACE" thing!!!!
Happy fathers day, daddy!!!! I love you and am so blessed to have you as a father!!!!
Dad's mom and dad came down for a cook out. Brandon was not able to be there due to working in Kansas. But we all had a blast playing CORN HOLE. Tasha and I took on everyone else. We won 4 out of 5 games. (acutally Tasha won...I just helped. She is an expert at this game.)

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!!!

Well, here is Tasha at a little over 5 months!!!! And (drum roll please!!!) ITS A GIRL!!!! Madelynn Faith will come into this world around Oct 10!
Mom and Dad's 31 anniversary is Today!!!! June 18. They are at Pilgrim Youth Camp but hopefully they will have a good time!!! "Here's to many more years mama and Daddy"
This was there card...the pic is of them on their 1st anniversary.

We had Mom and Dad Thompson over on Sunday for a Fathers day cook out. I didn't get a good picture of Jon and his dad. (SORRY DAD THOMPSON!!!!) But I did want to say, Jerry thanks for being there for Jonathan and I . You have been a huge help so many times. We love you!

Steve, Happy fathers day to you too!!!! May GOd Bless you as you began a new stage in your life! You will be in our prayers ALWAYS. We love you!!! And Devan too!!!!

This is a rare moment in my nephews life. He is usually on the go...ALL THE TIME!!!! But he does settle down for a nap once in awhile!!! (he looks so precious! No really he is a good kid..JUST ALL BOY!!!! LOVE you DEVAN, Uncle Jon and Aunt NELLA)

Rain, Rain Go away!!!

I am thankful that my house and all my belongings are safe and drying out. My brother-in-law Steve did not fair as well.

Here is after a several hours of rain. Notice you can see the wall around the lights and flowers. The wall is about 3 bricks high.

You can no longer see the wall!!!!

UNBELIEVEABLE
His back yard
As most homeowners in Indy know, that not many own Flood insurance. Well even after the rain died down in Terre Haute, a levy also broke, so the water level continued to climb. Thankfully as of now the water level has stopped climbing and other than Steves garage, the inside of the house doesn't seem to have damage. Please pray that this is so....this is another thing in a long line for Steve. Because any damage will come out of his pocket unless FEMA would step in, Possibly!

Keep Steve in your prayers!! I am sure there are more of you out there that went thru the same thing as this...my prayers go out to you.

A fun weekend

Headed to Sherilyn and Andy's wedding in Kuntuckey. I rode with Robbins, because Jonathan had to work. We stopped at Burger King and there I found "MY LITTLE KING" I think he liked the hat or at least didn't mind it.

Their wedding was beautiful, yet simple. Andy and Sherilyn sang togather a few times and they sounded beautiful! Sherilyn looked like Cinderella...she was quite a beautiful bride!
The Happy couple!
I spent the night at Regi and Jay's house. We had alot of fun. Mom and Dad came over and mom was looking at Regi's quilts before we headed out to eat. Here she is with "HER" quilt, but she didn't know it was hers yet. She was just asking "This isn't mine to keep?"
Now she knows that it is!! She was so happy to be an owner of Regi's "Playing out loud" quilt!

Inspecting Reg's Handiwork! She is an awsome quilter.

Owner and Maker of "Playing Out Loud"

We headed down to the river and ate at Don Pablos..after several pictures. I was quite lonely without Jonathan. (Sorry you didn't come Sweetheart!!! I love you.)

Regi pretending that she is shorter then me. Fat chance...I will always be 'Shorty' compared to her.

Congrads Brooklyn Class of 2008!!!!!

Aunt Kim...finding her quilt.

She was quite excited!

Mom and Aunt Kim with their new quilts. Regi said it took her about 4 1/2 months to complete the quilts.

Way to go Brooklyn...Hope all your dreams and wishes and prayers come true. You deserve the very best.

: Memorial day weekend

Hope all had a great memorial day weekend!!! Here is the run the down.

Well Friday night I had the beginnings of a sinus infection.....Saturday I had to get up and be at work a little before 7 a.m. As the day wore on I felt horrible. Downtown was a buzz with the upcoming "Indy 500 raceday" activities. Trying to get out of downtown proved to be challanging. But thinks to my hubby's "Tom-Tom" I managed. (My hubby knows me well enough to send me to work with a GPS system....don't laugh I only know a few ways out of downtown on my own. And most of them were shut down due to the parade.)

I spent alot of the rest of the day sleeping. Since I felt awful. And my hubby in all of his romanticness said I looked like Poop! (he is so sweet!!! Not really I did look awful)

Sunday was interesting. We went to 3 different churches. We went to our church for Sunday school. I took some pics of my kids. Little Ethan was such a doll in his little vest and tie.

Then we headed to Southeastern Church and were able to be there for Jonny's dedication. He is getting so big and he did such a good job. He just let out a big sneeze at the very end. Caroline even wrote a song for Jonny and she played and sang with Jonathan. .

Mom and Dad Thompson had lunch at our house and then we headed off to Terre Haute. Once we got there I snoozed on Steve's comfortable new couch....only to be awakened later...by my nephew, who then started tickeling my feet.

We had a good, but long church service, then we had a good dinner of PIZZA and CHEESY BREAD STICKS. And leftover STAWBERRY CHEESE CAKE. (see where my diet is going?)

After visiting for a while...I finally took my stuffed up nose and blurry eyes and "Vicks Kleenex" (which are wonderful by the way.) to bed.

Monday day was great....good, kinda wet weather, great food and a number of games of dominos. Jonathan and I hold the record for the longest game of dominos...we ran out of pieces and had to leave the two that could be played on, on the table and turn over all the others again and then we almost ran out again...until your truly WON!!!!! YIPEE FOR ME!!!!

Anyhow...not alot happened but it was a good weekend off work.

a belated mothers day

This last weekend was Jonathan's Grandma's Suprise 70th Birthday party. I had several pictures, but somehow with playing with my camera....I deleated them all. (talk about upsetting since I also had a cute picture of little Jhonny and my Jonathan togather.)

So here are some pictures after the party with the boys goofing off!!!

Then on Sunday~we had our mothers day dinner. I was so excited and nervous. But all my food turned out even my 21 hour dessert~Berries on a cloud~(it was a big hit)

I didn't get many pictures due to hurrying around the kitchen. But Mom and Dad Thompson were there and Mom and Dad Hilligoss and even my brother's girlfriend Heather Frazier. (mom and dad had picked her up from the airport and were taking her to GBS campmeeting) Here is what all we enjoyed to eat:

Ham, Mac-n-cheese, Sweet potato Casserole, deviled eggs, green beans, rolls, and Broccolie salad

and for dessert PB pie and Berries on a cloud.

( I love to entertain, so when I usually do I go overboard in preparing enough food. But when I do we always have plenty leftovers and I don't have to cook for 3 or 4 days.)

By the way I didn't really post anything for mothers day. But Mom Thompson~ thanks for being a wonderful Mother-in-law. You have always been there for me. Thanks for taking me in as a daughter. I love you!!! And Mama thank you for being such a wonderful example for me to follow. I love you and I am so glad God blessed me with a mom like you. Both you have been through alot this last year and I have watched you rely on God alot....thanks for showing me your steady devotion to God. I love you both!!!
