Halloween Party at Grandma and Grandpa Thompson's
Every year, my parents host a murder mystery dinner.
This year, the theme was mobsters. Ryan came up with
the idea for Liam's costume- our loot. The whole costume was about $2.50 to make. We used his pajamas that don't separate the legs. At the craft store, we picked up the felt and the fabric paint. Some hot glue and a couple safety pins later we had a costume. Though he looks like he is being tortured in this picture, he's actually just upset that he's wearing clothes at all. This kid loves to be bare.
Here's a picture of the whole crew at the party.
While in Cannonville, we decided to take Liam out hiking. Here is a picture of Ryan and Liam walking through Willis Creek.
Golden Spike National Historic Site and ETK Rockets
Can anyone tell me what picture is on the Utah quarter? If you said two trains and a spike, you are correct. Out of all the amazing places in Utah, the historic site of the completion of the transcontinental railroad was selected. Don't get me wrong. I think it is a very important place, but how many people in Utah can actually say they have been there? Well, we decided to drive on over to Promontory Point and check it out for ourselves.
We started off with a tour of the train engines. Even though the originals were scrapped, it is still interesting to see the replicas. If you want to see them actually running on the tracks, go during the summer season. (You can save $2.00 on admission if you go in the winter though..yay.)We then checked out the visitors center where there is a short film on the history of the railroads. Since Liam was still hungry, we decided to watch another film. We ended up with our own private viewing of "The Great Train Robbery," a film
done in 1902. You can check it out at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7949193416885414135# .
We finally made our way out in the rain to the famous site. Don't ask why we are posed so weird.

We then took a little side road to the ATK rocket exhibit.

My Above Average Baby
Every mom thinks their child is above average, but really, Liam is...
At his 2 month visit, Liam weighed in at 15 lbs 5 oz (99th Percentile) and measured 24 inches long. The doctor says he is the size of an average 4 month old. Yesterday, the banker asked if he wanted a sucker. He was so confused when I said Liam was only two months old. Like a good mom, I ate the sucker for him.
