The Thompson Family: March 2009

Nick and I finally decided to paint the baby room. You guessed it- BLUE!

Here I am in my glorious painting clothes (with day-old makeup...yikes!) supervising Nick. I don't have a picture of it, but I sat in my recliner (aka: royal throne) and gave "helpful suggestions". However, I'm not quite sure he liked my suggestions... lol. :-)

Here is Nick doing the honors of taking off the painting tape. Did it turn out OK???? Since we completely ran out of paint, we really really hoped it was ok!

Here is Nick vaccuming after we painted...and showing off his man-muscles. Only real men vaccum!

And here is the semi-finished product! Nick suprised me and put the baby stuff back in the room and set it all up. Isnt' it cute!?

I still have other decorations to put up, but I don't think there's any hope if the baby comes out a girl. :-) All I have to say is...it better be a boy!

Here we are eating at Cheeseburger in Paradise (yum-o!) to celebrate our arrival in Maui.

The next day we all went down to play on our sweet little beach by our condo. I had decided years ago that I would wear a bikini when I was pregnant- so here I am holding true and getting some sun on my belly. And no, Nick's really not that short. He was mad because I was standing on the "tall side of the sand". Lol!

Here is our nephew Orin playing in the sand. I think he brought home about 4 lbs. in his shorts!

Here are Jessie and Grady, Nick's sister and her husband.

Here are YaYa and Papa (Nick's parents)

Us again.!The trees on the hill in the background are our condo's backyard.

Every time we go to Maui we all go to eat at Mama's FishHouse- our favvy! We had happy bellies after that meal!

Nick and Mike rented paddle-boards (special boards that you stand up on and paddle...kinda like a surfboard). They were so excited to ride them that they played well into the dark and I had to yell at Nick from our condo to get out of the ocean when it got to the point where I could only make out his shadow. :-)

Yea Nick!

Here is the beautiful view from our condo...

Nick and I on our patio...

Orin and Chelsea acting cute as always...

The beautiful archway and landscape that lead to our front door. Can I get one of these for my house??

We took a family walk up to an old old cemetary on the ocean. It was so neat! There were graves that were only about 20 feet from the ocean and had been there since the 1800's. My kind of resting place. :-)

We went to visit this blow-hole for the 3rd time (we go every time!) and Nick and Mike INSISTED that they get a closer look... Much to our dismay, they were standing on the cliffs that drop off into the ocean and there were 30 foot swells coming in...and almost knocked them off many times.

Thank God for life insurance policies...

On 2/6/05 Nick and I were married in Maui on Kapalua Bay. Each time we return to Maui we visit the beach where we were married at sunset. Here is the beautiful beach where we said 'I Do' over 4 years ago...
