Bishop Crossen

Dan was called to be Bishop of our ward, Highland Hills on Sunday. He was ordained to be a High Priest by this Father, David Crossen.

Then set apart as Bishop by the Stake President, His father and my father Steve. Steve and Donna flew up from FL special for the occasion. We really appreciate our family’s support.

Visit from Grandma and Pa Thompson

Mom and Dad came for a visit since Dan was being called and set apart as Bishop of our ward. We met Amber and her family at the Tacoma Zoo.

Ginny loves animals. She gets so excited to pet them!

Ginny loves her cousins! They play peek a boo, she chases Spencer around the house and Nate gives her the best hugs!

A day in the life of Ginny Mae

10 months

In honor of Ginny turning 10 months (which means…. in 2 months she will be a big whopping 1 year old. sniff sniff.) Where did my tiny baby go?

She's crawling, has 8 teeth and says Dada… So cute to watch her and Dan together.

I plan on getting a professional picture done of her as well as a family portrait. Any suggestions? Never done this before…

So now for an update on our fam:

Dans doing good, working real hard. So good they're adding another dentist in August. If you’re reading this and you are or used to be in the Fort Lauderdale stake, do u know Morgan or Chelsey ball? They were in the Ft Laud stake as well. Morgan will be Dan’s 2nd partner.  

We like Seattle weather for the most part- when it's sunny it's gorgeous here. Unfortunately it's rare. I mean it's June and it's still in the 50s rainy and cold usually. The sites are great, very nature friendly. We love Pike Place and downtown Seattle. The woods here are so fun to hike. I may have become a tree hugger…

Next weekend we're going to Spokane. Eddie, Dan’s brother gets home from his mission. Then Ginny and I'll be visiting my grandparents in Nauvoo for a week. Dan can't come cuz of work, sad...
It was Dans 28th bday yesterday. We went to the Tacoma zoo, saw the Avengers and had dinner at Red Robin. Fun day

…Well friends and fam… I know I don’t blog often, so that's me filling u in haha or should I say overloading… Enjoy!

PS. How early can I start teaching Ginny to swim? I bought her the cutest bathing suit!!

Wanna hear the cutest baby laugh in the world?

These videos are from March and April. Her laugh is so cute I couldn’t help myself! She started trying to crawl in April. Now she is a speed demon, bookin’ it around the house chasing our cats.

For Andrea

Andrea has been asking me to post videos and pictures of Ginny for a while now. I have lots…. I just never seem to have time to post. 

So Andrea this one’s for you. Enjoy!

PEEK-A-BOO!

A Slurpee for Two!

Look at these two cuties!

I think Yellow is your color

She’s irresistible isn’t she?

Dr. Dan Crossen

So this is late in coming, like usual, but I wanted to post some pictures of Dan at his new office. We moved here in September but because of delays in construction, we didn’t open his office until just about a month ago. And he and his partner, Craig, are doing great! The Franchise owner says they are the fastest growing office ever! So congratulations to Dan the Dentist!

 

Hi! my name is Dr. Dan. Welcome to my office.

Please have a seat. This won’t hurt a bit…

Hmm well from these x-rays it looks like we’re going to have to pull all your teeth… sorry
