It was a great debate in our house....get hardwood floors or new carpet in the living room. Mike won out! Our carpet was disgusting in the living room, it literally had a dirt trail from the front door to the basement door. It was horrible! I wanted to put hardwood down, but Mike really likes having carpet in the living room. Our son, Brad, installed the carpet for us, and it looks great. I am happy that we put carpet down, it really does make it cozy.Thompson Taleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832632997005786261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832613554415834397.post-73134298612562583592014-06-24T18:55:00.000-07:002014-06-24T18:55:52.243-07:00Growing up<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Can I just tell you how much I miss my Bristyn? Bristyn will be a junior this year at Western State Colorado University in Gunnison, Colorado. She is a four hour drive from home, which isn't too far, but far enough. She got a full time job this summer and she didn't come home. I miss her dearly! I am very proud of her and what she has accomplished at school and the choices she is making. She is turning into such a beautiful young woman. It makes my heart happy to see her so happy!Thompson Taleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832632997005786261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832613554415834397.post-63933438519121288892014-06-24T18:42:00.000-07:002014-06-24T18:42:10.100-07:00Western Caribbean Cruise<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This picture was on the beach in Jamaica....it was a gated beach....while at the beach, we found out that the previous week, there were two tourists that had been murdered and two were kidnapped....needless to say, we didn't stray very far from the beach!<br />

I am a horrible blogger! I really do not have an excuse why I haven't posted....anyways....I realized that I haven't posted any pictures of the cruise that Mike and I went on in April! We went on a cruise to Jamaica, Cozumel and Grand Cayman. We left out of Galveston, Texas! We had such a wonderful time, we went with some good friends of ours, Liz and Melanie. We couldn't have asked for better weather, it was perfect! It was great to get away, and obviously, we did a lot of relaxing, which we have needed! The day we got home to Fort Collins, we were hit with a snow storm, but the week of sunshine that we had was heaven!Thompson Taleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832632997005786261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832613554415834397.post-24077635557344629792014-03-13T18:36:00.001-07:002014-03-13T18:36:38.592-07:00So excited<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am so excited because in 2 days I will be in my favorite place on earth...WASHINGTON!! Of course, being able to see my daughter, granddaughter and son in law is what I am most excited about. It seems like I haven't seen them in forever. The other day, I was sitting in my dining room and I noticed this little vignette and it made me smile! All of these items were gifts from some of my dear friends, I am truly blessed with the friends that I have! Another thing that got me excited lately is this lantern that I got for free!! yes, free! It is about 3 feet high and I love it! It was marked down at a local grocery store, but when it rang up, it was the wrong price, so they gave it to me free, I felt like I had won the lottery! Life has been wonderful and exciting for me lately!!<br />

For years I have been wanting an apple green Kitchenaid, I love them and the color makes me happy! My brother, Mike, surprised me with one and I am absolutely in love with her! She goes really well with all my green Lecreuset that I have in the kitchen. Seriously, when I walk in my kitchen I can't help but smile! Now if I can talk my husband into painting those horrible cabinets.....Thompson Taleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832632997005786261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832613554415834397.post-49754722233030822552013-11-29T11:43:00.001-08:002013-11-29T11:56:36.205-08:00FAMILY<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! This time of the year is when I yearn to have my whole family together. I wish that we were closer to Britnee and her family. It is hard when your kids grow up! Bradley spend Thanksgiving with Laurens family, but he is going to come up here this Sunday for dinner. We went down to Brighton this year and had dinner at Millies, and it was delish! I didn't do any Black Friday shopping, I decided that I wanted to spend my time with my family and friends. It was a wonderful and relaxing day! Now I am off to do my Christmas decorating!Thompson Taleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832632997005786261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832613554415834397.post-12430783254497260282013-11-25T12:59:00.001-08:002013-11-25T12:59:12.382-08:00I love my friends! and Paris....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My dream is to one day go to Paris! With my Mike....it seems so romantic and beautiful, and the food...oh my gosh, maybe one of these days I will go! I would also love to go to Paris with my friend, JoDee, who would know all of the great places to shop! She would know where all the flea markets are, like I have said, its been a dream of mine for years to go....but since it hasn't happened, I live through my friends vicariously who have traveled there. This past summer, my friend, Liz, had the opportunity to travel to Paris and brought me back this beautiful clock that she bought at a flea market, I absolutely love it! These pictures were taken during the summer, as you can tell because I have totally redone my bedding. I even have a little collection of Eiffel Towers that some of my other friends who have traveled to Paris have brought me back.

For my birthday this year, I asked my family for Pottery Barn gift cards because I was in need of new bedding!!! I wish I was more like my mom and daughter, Britnee, who always change out their bed spreads. I have had the same bedding on my bed for 5 years....I was bored of it, even though I really liked it!! I loved this bedding online and when I went into the store and saw it displayed, I was totally in love!! I bought the duvet cover and linen euro pillow shams, I think that I will buy the normal pillow shams this next month when I have some extra money. Thank you to all my family who got me gift cards!!!Thompson Taleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832632997005786261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832613554415834397.post-3517204536682772742013-09-01T10:13:00.002-07:002013-09-01T10:13:34.387-07:00Brenton finally got a "big boy" bed<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Better late then never!!!! Our Brenton is sixteen years old and is six feet tall (we don't know why our boys are so tall, Mike is only 5'8"...) Brentons bed was always just a metal frame with mattresses. Our friend was selling this bed that she had just bought because she is moving. She sold it to us very cheap!! It takes up alot of space but Brenton loves it, we also got him new mattresses, but he says they are too firm, but I love them! I can take a nap and fall asleep so quickly on his bed!!Thompson Taleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832632997005786261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832613554415834397.post-7629589274967034512013-08-24T14:38:00.001-07:002013-08-24T14:45:37.711-07:00My new chandelier<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My computer has been acting up lately, so I haven't been able to do anything on this blog! <br />
A couple of weeks ago, some friends of ours bought an older home here in Fort Collins Mike and I went over to their house to see it and while we were there, they took this chandelier down to throw it away...I asked what they were going to do with it, and they were seriously were just going to put it in the dumpster!! So, I took it home!! It was pretty dirty and I didn't like all of the ceramic roses that were all over it. I decided to take the bottom layer of roses off and put on chandelier prisms. I love it. We took the wiring off so it doesn't work, it is just for show! I love it in the living room and it is the first thing you see when you walk in the house! The best part about it, is it was free!!!Thompson Taleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832632997005786261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832613554415834397.post-48532441756810165582013-06-17T15:01:00.002-07:002013-06-17T15:03:14.827-07:00I Miss My Besties!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Bristyn is 19 years old now!! We are so proud of her....she had an awesome Freshman year at Western State Colorado University. She made the Deans list for her grades, she worked in the cafeteria at the school and she made a ton of friends. She loves it in Gunnison, and she is only 20 minutes from snowboarding! She is home now for the summer and got a job working at an assisted living facility, which she is loving. I love having her home for the summer!!Thompson Taleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832632997005786261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832613554415834397.post-47372749694135539532013-05-02T14:29:00.001-07:002013-05-30T20:07:04.078-07:00Guess what I did when Mike was out of town....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Two weeks ago, Mike had the opportunity to travel to India with his job! He absolutely loved it! He thought that it was a great experience and he was excited to meet his coworkers there. He said that the next time he goes, that I need to go with him! He especially loved the food there! He brought some trinkets home for us and his coworkers bought us some things also, we love them, thank you!!! We are hoping that he has the opportunity to go back to India soon....now Brenton wants to go with him also!!!Thompson Taleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832632997005786261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832613554415834397.post-72872065457469047012013-03-20T11:11:00.000-07:002013-03-20T11:11:16.956-07:00Happy Spring!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Beautiful bouquet of flowers given to me from my new friend, Dana Silk!!! I love flowers and I get so excited to receive them, which doesn't happen very often! I am so happy that spring has arrived, however, it is supposed to snow here this weekend! But I have enjoyed the sunshine we have had the last couple of days with the mild temperatures. This week both Bristyn and Brenton are on spring break. Brenton went to Wyoming with his friend Taylor Van and got back this morning and Bristyn left yesterday to go to Moab with her friends from college. Mike and I went down to Denver this past Friday night for a wonderful little getaway! He booked us reservations at the Oxford Hotel, we had dinner at McCormicks and went to a comedy club, which was awesome! The next morning we watched the St. Pattys Day Parade from our hotel.....I love weekends like that!Thompson Taleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832632997005786261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832613554415834397.post-7134964389122066842013-02-27T11:30:00.002-08:002013-02-27T11:30:30.434-08:00Downstairs hallway and our Brenton<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It seems like ever since Bristyn went away to college, we have been working on the basement. We have painted her room and organized it, redid her bathroom and now we are going to organize the theater room and I just got the hallway decorated! I don't think that I have ever shown pictures of the theater room because I have never really done anything to it! <br />
The last couple of weeks have been pretty hard on our family...we found out that Brenton has what is called, Post Concussion Syndrome. He suffers from really bad headaches everyday, which in turn has been bringing him down. Today we had an MRI done just to make sure everything is ok with his brain. He is on medication to relieve him from the headaches, yesterday he seemed to be alot better, and today he said that his headache isn't as bad as it was yesterday, so hopefully things will get better with out little guy! He is not able to do any type of contact sports....that has been very hard for him. He has been playing soccer for years and he had to stop wrestling after his 3rd concussion. Hopefully, he will be able to start working out, like running, next week, but nothing that he can get a concussion with!Thompson Taleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832632997005786261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832613554415834397.post-30392052108940465132013-02-13T06:06:00.004-08:002013-02-13T06:06:59.282-08:00Happy Valentines Day!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Not much decorating got done around here for Valentines Day...that is because I really don't have any decorations for this celebration! Barb made me the adorable burlap wreath...I hung it inside because I was afraid of ruining it by putting it outside!

One of the projects we wanted to do this year was to redo Bristyns bathroom that is in the basement. Trust me when I say it was ugly and disgusting before...that is why I really don't have any before pics. We gutted it about 3 weeks ago and we thought that we would have until March to finish it. We wanted to surprise her and didn't think that she would be home until Spring break. Well, last Monday she called and said that she would be home on Friday for the weekend! That put us in a panic! We love the results, it is so nice and bright! I haven't done any decorating yet, but I love the tile floor and the vanity! We still have some things left to do, like getting a new mirror, or just making a frame around the existing one, and decorating. I have to say, my husband worked very hard on this project....Bristyn even loves it!<br />

I am so bad about posting....I guess after the holiday season I don't have much to talk about! I really miss my kids when they go back to school, and this past Christmas, we didn't have our Britnee and her family here to celebrate. I truly missed seeing them. Everyone knows how much I get sick and tired of the cold weather....we haven't had much snow though this winter, which has been nice! But I am so yearning for the springtime. I bought some hydrangeas the other day to brighten things up, and I love them! I made a house project list for the year, and I am happy to say that we are almost done with a big one! We gutted Bristyns bathroom and we are almost done with it! Her bedroom and bathroom are in the basement and when she left for college, we cleaned out her room, and painted it....but then it made the bathroom look even worse! Now I am loving it! I will post about them soon...meaning in about 6 months!!!Thompson Taleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832632997005786261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832613554415834397.post-78742893125039930372012-12-21T11:45:00.003-08:002012-12-21T11:45:29.558-08:00Merry Christmas to all<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love it when my friends get me...do you know what I mean? I have a wonderful friend here in Fort Collins and her name is Barb, she has been my walking partner for the last 4 years and I absolutely adore her. She is one of those people who really listen and doesn't judge, and I love that about her. Yesterday, I went to her house, and she presented me with this beautiful gift, I love it!! She knows how much we love her cooking and baking, and she made all of the yummy goodies in this gift, her granola is to die for!! She knows how much I love those old Christmas ornaments, and she included those! I know that I have been blessed to have Barb in my life...some days she has been my life saver just by listening to me! This time of the year, I know we all reflect on our lives, and I know that I have much to be grateful for. I am thankful for all that I have been blessed with, especially for my family and my wonderful friends.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!! I finally got my Christmas decorations out and decorated the house. This year I went very simple, I only used the traditional red, green and gold colors. The first 2 years that we lived in Colorado we got real trees and they died within a week! The trees get so dried, even though we watered daily. This year, we put up the tree that we usually put in Brentons room up in the living room, it is a small tree...I don't even have a skirt on it yet!!! I am almost done with my Christmas shopping, I am never done this early!

This Thanksgiving, our daughter, Britnee and granddaughter Caralynn came out to visit us here in Colorado. Chris wasn't able to come because he had to work, but we sure miss him! He is the greatest son in law a mom could ask for. We loved our little short time we had with the girls, it is always hard having them go home. Bristyn also came home from college for the week, she is growing up and I am proud of her, she is doing very well in college. Brad also came down for a couple of days, so I had all of my children with me, and I absolutely loved it! I am so thankful for my beautiful family and my husband who gave me my wonderful kids, I am very blessed!Thompson Taleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832632997005786261noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832613554415834397.post-61762422202130521872012-11-06T13:41:00.003-08:002012-11-06T13:41:53.702-08:00Hmmmm, is this illegal?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is Brentons room, I know that he is 15 years old, but he still loves his monkeys! He started collecting them when he was 6 years old and had an emergency apendectomy, everyone seemed to get him stuffed monkeys! Before Bristyn left for college, she "found" this sign at the back of where she works and bought it home. I noticed it in the back of our truck and I thought that it would look "cool" in Brentons room! Everyone thinks that it looks awesome, especially Brenton....but are those signs owned by the city???Thompson Taleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832632997005786261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832613554415834397.post-61969070694879113842012-10-25T13:01:00.001-07:002012-10-25T13:01:30.631-07:00The living room<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you know me, you know that I have been wanting a white slip covered couch from Pottery Barn for about 3 years now!! However, when we went in and had it priced it was almost $4000 and my husband was like, "Heck NO!" Don't blame him, that is alot of money! Then I was settled on getting a couch from Ikea, but I just felt like they were so uncomfortable, and we are a family that really lives in our living room. Everyone thought that I was crazy to want a white couch because we have little kids at our house daily, not only that, but we have teenagers and friends here all the time. I have been searching for a long time for a couch and this past weekend, I finally found one that I really love and is so comfortable. It fits our condo perfectly, it actually makes the living room look alot bigger. It looks like a dark brown in these pictures, but it is not that dark. Everytime I lay down on the couch, I actually fall asleep, it is that comfortable! Thompson Taleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832632997005786261noreply@blogger.com3
