What have we been up to?

Starting off with Thanksgiving. This year we celebrated with Todd's Family, as usual the food was great! We have really good cooks in the family :) Todd brought up his quad along with my BIL Chad so everyone got to go for a ride. Todd and I even got to go out together.

Grandpa Thompson, Uncle Tommy, Baby Syndey, Trevor, and cousin Brent watching football

Grandma Bettie working in the kitchen with Aunt Kimberly... did I mention how good the food was?!?!

Baby Noah's FIRST Thanksgiving. He hasn't mastered crawling yet but is really close. He also has his first bottom tooth coming in. He's so cute! Look at those big feet.

Melissa and her family came down from AZ so we decided to renew our Disneyland passes and join them. We had a great time. Thursday wasn't crowded at all but when we went back on Friday it was a different story! We had such a good time and really enjoyed all the Christmas decorations. I love Disneyland this time of year.

And finally basketball season is here! Here is Ethan at his first gameI (forgot to take a picture of Trevor playing). I love basketball, the boys are so much fun to watch!

Me and my 7 month old man

Noah turned 7 months old on November 2nd. My sister in law Kimberly took these pictures of us while we were at Ben's baby blessing in Glendora that day.
How in the world can my baby be 7 months old?!?!?

He LOVES to eat! Here are a few of his favorite foods...
Bananas, rice cereal, ALL vegetables...and really ALL fruits, I guess he likes everything I've given him so far.
He's "finally" meaning just yesterday, mastered sitting up on his own and his brothers are trying so hard to teach him to crawl. His eye lashes are super long but no teeth yet!
Everything would be "perfect" if he slept better :) I just can't let him cry and I KNOW...I'm making it harder on myself but I just can't do the whole sleep training thing...I try (really I do..) but I just can't do it... can someone move in for a week and help me please?

He absolutely loves his brothers and sister and they love him. It's so neat to see all the love that a baby brings into your home. He is a mamas boy and cries if I leave the room. We are attached at the hip. It feels great to be so loved :)

Noah loves his baby play saucer and is all hands grabbing at everything! Better have those nails trimmed otherwise he literally takes your flesh off because he pinches and scratches so hard!

We can't imagine life without him, I'm enjoying every minute of him.

Halloween recap!

How in the world am I going to keep myself from eating all this candy that is in our home! Yikes!
We had a fun HALLOWEEN this year. Our night started at the church's Trunk or Treat, then we headed to the neighborhood for traditional trick or treating. Here are the kids from oldest to youngest...
