Kyle turned 11 today and starts 5th grade tomorrow. Two big days in a row. He started the day with his mom and his Nana and Tata then joined us just in time for church. He had cake and ice cream in his primary class then finally got a birthday spotlight not only near his birthday but on it (they usually have to do it weeks later due to his crazy schedule). We came home and had his favorite dinner, ribs, then family and friends came by to enjoy ice cream cake and presents. He and his dad are enjoying his birthday present from us (Guitar Hero) as I update this blog. We are looking forward to duels with Lindsay & Sam (not sure if you Guitar Hero Wes?) and the Butler Family very soon.
A special thanks to Lindsay, Wes and Sam for assisting with my meltdown girls. It wouldn't be a Thompson birthday if one (or now both) of my girls weren't melting down the entire time. Nikki deserves a shout out as well for trying to talk Abbie into cake with Ruby and Lulu amid the hysterics.
Below are some photos of the fun. We just can't believe Kyle is eleven. He will be spending the next year finishing up elementary school, working on his Tenderfoot, First Class and Second Class scouting requirements and preparing to receive the Aaronic Priesthood. His soccer team started their fall season a few weeks ago and he starts back up with piano next week and is trying tennis for the first time in a couple of weeks. He wouldn't be Kyle if he didn't have a zillion things going on and he surprises up daily with the things he says. He opened the gift from Lindsay, Wes and Sam and there was a hoodie sweatshirt which he was extremely excited about. Who knew? He has never mentioned wanting a "Hoodie" in his entire life and never cares if he wears the one he already has but thank goodness for Aunt Sam because I would never have bought him that.
Lindsay was pushing Nate around in Abbie's baby doll stroller...it was cracking me up.
Nate needed a bib and Wes wasn't too pleased with the offerings at the Thompson household.
Ruby and her cutie new haircut.
Two of our favorite girls...Lulu and Elise.

I'm glad Kyle had such a great day and that we could be there to celebrate. You're right about the hoodie . . that was a shocker!
The pictures of Nate are great. Thanks for pulling out the camera to capture him as a baby doll in a stroller and a princess. :)
Those were great pictures and a good writeup on Mr. Kyle. I am glad that we got to see him for a few minutes on his birthday on our way home from Phoenix. Love you
I can't wait for our next visit so I can challenge Kyle to a game, although I am sure he will win!! Happy Birthday to Kyle.
