Happy Thanksgiving

This year the Thanksgiving Holiday took us to South Jordan to be with family. We decided to stay at a hotel in Sandy with my parents. We had a great time there swimming and hot tubbing in freezing weather. The feast was at Todd & Joanna's home (my brother and sister-in-law). We were lucky to have everyone there with the exception of 2. Keaton was also able to come. It was great to see him. We didn't stay in SL county long and came home on Friday afternoon. It's nice to visit, but "there's no place like home".

New Moon

Kenzie and I went on a Mother-Daughter date on Friday to see New Moon. We went with some friends and had a great time. We had dinner at Bajio. We waited in line 1 1/2 hours, which wasn't too bad. Kenzie is now a new member of "Jacob's team". I am leaning that way as well. I think Bella and Edward need a few acting classes (and a sun tan). I know he's a vampire, but for pete's sake!

Awesome Awards

Cross Country had their awards night a couple weeks ago. While Kenzie's team didn't place in state, she was able to participate and had a great time. This year her teammates voted her "MVR-Most Valuable Runner for the girls. With this award she received a new pair of running shoes. Good job Kenzie!

Gage made the high honor roll for the first quarter of this year. He has been doing great in school. His favorite subjects are weight training and Spanish. Good job Gage!

Stitches!

Yesterday we had a little accident at our home. Noah was outside throwing the football around by himself when things got a little out of hand. He threw the ball high and ran (without looking) to catch it. He tripped and fell on some rocks cutting his knee. As you can see, it's not that bad, but it did require a trip to instacare and 4 stitches. We are happy to say that it has taken us this long to ever get stitches in the Thompson household. We just hope this is the first and the last of them. I have to say how brave Noah was. He just read a book and colored while his knee was being stitched.

Desert Hills Black

Today was the last game for Noah's little league team the Desert Hills Black. They ended with a great win 28-18. The season ended with 2 wins to 4 losses. Noah played quarterback and did awesome! He even made 1 touchdown. Mike was his coach along with some dads of other players. It was a ton of fun watching those kids play and learn the game of football this season. Way to go Noah!

BOO!

We love Halloween around here. What is so great is that you can "be" anything you want to be. My kids love it because they get to dress up as 3 things if they choose. They have the primary party, school party, and the actual trick-or-treating. Maddie was a vampiress, cheerleader, and zombie.









I have a rule for Halloween. You can trick-or-treat if you want when you get older, but you have to dress up. Gage was a gang member.














Noah was a pirate, old man, and a zombie dude. Here he is with his friend Stockton who came for a visit with his family (The Orchard's).







I was a "mad scientist" and an ugly one at that. The YW and YM in our ward were in charge of the primary Halloween party. I am in the YW so I dressed up. This is me with our friend Jeremy. Aren't we so cute!
