Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ryan and I feel so blessed & are so Thankful to have such wonderful friends and family! God has blessed us with Two Beautiful Children, and has given us so much to be thankful for!

Wednesday after work Ryan the kids and I went to the Zepeda's house for a Gathering with all of our friends! We had pizza, and drinks and played Rockband, and boardgames..it was fun getting all of us together and hanging out.

For Thanksgiving Ryan and I had a few places we needed to go to celebrate with our loved ones. This year was Brooklyn's very First Thanksgiving! I think for the most part she enjoyed it! We started out our celebration at Nanny and Granddad's house, after there we headed to Ryan's parents house and celebrated with them, and his brothers and their families. After there we went to Jen & Ken's house and celebrated with my sisters, my brother Chris and My Sister's Husband's family the "Hart's" and our dear friends Chris & Kelli....the day went by fast, but we were so happy we got to spend the Holiday with all of our Family!

Cheers to Friends!

Brooklyn 6 months old

Over the weekend we got together with our very close friends & family and got our group photos taken! It was nice getting together and having a picture done with all of us...so nice we decided we are going to make it an annual thing! Since we were there Jenny, Candee and I did a sisters photo too...it had been some time since we had a picture taken professionaly of the 3 of us. We did some fun picture variations...and we also had Brooklyn's 6 month picture taken, since she turned 6 months old on Friday! (I know....6 months old already!!!) after our pictures we went to dinner at PF Changs then back to Jen & Ken's house for a little Guitar Hero! We feel so thankful for our friends and to be so fortunate to have them in our lives!

The Scoot

While most babies tend to roll or crawl to get around....Our little Brooklyn (who can roll) prefers to do the scoot instead!!! It is so funny to watch her...she can even get around pretty fast too! She arches that back of hers almost as though she is going to do a Bridge and then drops her feet out and scoots a good couple of inches! She thinks its so funny too!

We took her to the Dr. today.... I had a hunch that she might have an ear infection, as she has been holding onto a cold for a couple of weeks now...and lone behold she has a double ear infection. The Dr. said it looked pretty bad and was surprised at how well she was handling it, In fact the only thing that tipped me off is that she was tugging at her ears. Any how the Dr. prescribed her Amoxicillin. She is to take that for the next ten days twice a day, then go back to the Dr. for a check up! We gave her, her first dosage tonight...and she actually liked it....drinking it as if it were her milk.

We thought this was funny so we had to share it...but we had her weighed today she weighed 14lbs 8 oz....we looked back at Blake's baby book he weighed 18lbs 9oz when he was 5 months old...we just thought that was so funny since Blake was smaller than Brooklyn at birth! But the Dr. said she was growing beautifully and was maintaining the 50th percentile!

The Pledge of Allegiance

Blake ended his first track of preschool...and starts his 3 weeks off this week. He will return back to preschool December 1st. It truly amazes Ryan and I the things he has learned in the past 9 weeks. We are so happy with the progress he has made. One of the latest things Blake has learned is the Pledge of Allegiance, He also learned who the newest President of the United States is! It's so cute to hear him say "Barack Obama" it sound more like "Rock Obama" We look forward to the next 9 weeks of school and the things he will learn!
