The Penultimate First Day

It's the first day of school and only one kid left!  Clint is a Junior this year, he's finally 16 with a driver's license, and he's excited!  It's a little weird to know that we only have one more first day picture in our whole public school career!!  Good luck this year, Clint! "One FOUR The Ages!"

Karlton Formals

Yes, yes, they are old married folk now, I know.  They got married in January, but wanted to wait until the weather was nicer to do some formal wedding photos.  Kori took these in May and it's taken her all summer to finally finish them due to her living and working like crazy at Bear Lake.  We're all so happy that they are finally done!  And aren't they so cute?!?  Here are just a few.  Enjoy...

A New Driver In The Family

Ta-da!!!!

Way to go Clint!!

Kori's Farewell Summer

Things we know now about Kori living and working at Bear Lake this summer:
1. LaBeau's does a ton of business! Holy Cow!
2. When you whiz shakes all day, you come home covered in ice cream!
3. Mountain lions are not attracted to the smell of ice cream!  Well, not yet...
4. It's possible to work 60+ hours a week and survive!  Although with hurting feet and sore hands.
5. Not too many boys respond to numbers written on napkins.  Dang.
6. Time together with family is so precious.
7. L. Tom Perry is REALLY tall, and he likes raspberry shakes!
8. You can earn the $ for most of a year of BYU-H in one summer!
9. It's great to have a place to live other than the LaBeau's attic!
10. It's so nice to have a weekday off, and double nice to have every Sunday off!

It's a good thing Kori has had Sundays off because she has had a bajillion mission farewells to go to!  The change in missionary age affected Kori's age group dramatically.  Most of her guy friends have already left to serve all over the world.  A few of her girl friends have their mission calls or are getting their papers ready.  It's been so exciting!  I'm sure Kori has lots more pics, but here are a few that I found on my camera.

Jack is serving in Lyon France.  Someday when he's a General Authority, we will smile at this photo!

Bronte will soon be leaving for Wichita, Kansas!  My old childhood home!

Steve is headed to Milan, Italy.

AJ is headed to Ecuador.

Chase will serve in Brazil.

Mitch is in Santiago North Chile.

Bear Lake Summer

You wouldn't know it by my lack of blog posting, but it has been a full, fun summer so far!  Most of our photos have been taken at Bear Lake and posted on our other blog, but here's a little recap of what's been happening with the Thompsons...
Clint shot a carp with a bow and arrow!

We spent a fun filled weekend with some of the Mayes clan!

Celebrated Clint's 16th birthday with some friends.  Cheesecake, presents, AND electro-shock therapy!

Celebrated my birthday with family, paddle boarding, and yummy LaBeau's shakes!

Spent our annual Thompson reunion with Aunt Michelle, plus a few friends who came to play!
