Is anyone else shocked?

4th of July - Texas Style

Us Texas Thayers decided to hook up for the 4th of July. We drove up to McKinney (just north of Dallas) and stayed the weekend with Katie and Jonathan. We had a great time laughing, talking, watching movies, chasing kids around, and getting completely drained in the Texas heat! Thanks Willson Family we had a blast!

Lily & Abby
we had about 1.5 seconds before they ripped the bows out of their hair


they loved crawling behind the couch


Jacob does a really good sad face


Jono and Mike probably laughing at some youtube video


the Mighty McKinney Parade


It didn't take long before the kids were ready to get out of the heat!

Old School

I'm totally copying my friend Mandy's post, but I had to get in on all the reminiscing fun! This past week I've been unpacking all our boxes from the move and today I happened to open this lovely gem. All my old dolls, trolls, and barbies!!
That's right we have Cricket, Rainbow Bright, Strawberry Shortcake, Popples, Hugga Bunch, and Care Bears!
The Cricket doll's eyes are kinda freaky and I'm missing the Ken doll's head, but other than that they seem to be in pretty good shape :)
Oh and I also dressed Abby in overalls that I used to wear as a wee lass! Abby complied for the pictures on condition I give her a graham cracker every so often. She was ecstatic as evidenced by the pictures...

Before we left Provo we...

met up for some bowling in Pocatello with good friends Jenilee & Luke Chambers


splashed around in the kiddie pool at Spirit Lake


played with Hal Dal, May May, Grandma, and Quinners


went on stroller rides!


played in the sand despite the cold weather


lost a hat on the Wicked ride at Lagoon (but retrieved it later)


went to a wicked awesome rodeo in PG with the Boldts and the Russells






celebrated Max's 1st birthday with cousin Anna (all the way from Germany!)

What The....???

So....Mike was driving down the road the other day and a bird flew in front of his car. He never saw it again after that... You wanna know why???



May he rest in peace...

Myers Family Reunion!

We had a blast at the Myers Reunion this past weekend. I think the highlight was the Ugly Cowboy Contest. There was some fierce competition!! I think the pictures speak for themselves....
Abby got a hold of a pen and drew on her forehead, she also loved playing in the sandbox with her many cousins.
I also got to spend time with my three cousins my same age - Heather, Amber, & Jannie!
Good times!!!
p.s. I have no clue how Mike squeezed into those wranglers....

Random things that have been going on...

Abby got her 12 months shots! She had a band aid on each limb, but she didn't seem to mind.


We said goodbye to all our stuff...


We had some good times with friends
Eric, Michelle & Regan Russell, and Jen & Jon Boldt


We caught up with Kim & Scott Brinton at Trafalga for some mini golf.


Abby loved splashing around in Grandma Thayer's pool!


Last, but not least, Abby finally decided it was time to try this out...
