Thovson Family

It has been forever since I posted! Time just flies these days I tell ya!

So what is new in the Thovson household? Well, Gabrielle is now done (forever, tear) with Preschool. She will be attending Kindergarten next year with her friends and some new ones! She is very excited. She loved going to Trinity Preschool with Mrs. Harms and Miss.Amanda (and even some days Miss Danelle, when i would fill in) as her teachers! We feel SO Lucky to have had Mrs. Harms before she retired after 27 or so years of teaching (WOW). She is a great lady and she did an amazing job teaching all the kids the greatness of knowing the Lord and also the greatness of her teaching in general! I feel blessed to have had her for 2 years with Gabrielle! Now she is ready for Kindergarten! This summer she will be doing T ball (in a couple weeks is starts I believe) and swimming lessons in July. And maybe some other activities in there too! She is a great little girl and loved so much by us! Side note- Gabrielle learned how to ride her bike with no training wheels a few weeks ago too! That was a project for this summer and it was accomplished in 1-2 hours of teaching:)

Avery is Avery! She has some spit fire in her, from the Thovson/Hanson sides I AM SURE!!! She is a very active and loving little girl! She is such a great addition to our little family! She LOVES her "sissy" that is for sure! We will be starting to potty train her and transition her to a "big girl bed" soon! She is a talker! A singer and a dancer! She loves Elmo, Dora, and Sponge bob (the most). She thinks Spongbob and Patrick are the funnest! Their are parents who do not believe in that show, but come on lets be honest there is 100 times worse things then that out in this world! She loves and I mean LOVES being outside!

Jake is the working man in the house still! We are blessed to have him in our lives! I love him and he is an amazing Dad and Husband! June 11th will be our 7 year wedding anniversary and 12 years together! So awesome to have such a good friend for that long and his amazing families who love me like their own! His hours were getting PRETTY long there for a while (very hard on his pregnant wife and girls who are SO used to seeing him more!) But now it is a little more "normal" and we get to see him more and actually have some family time together! We missed that a lot! He is getting excited to hopefully ride his motorcycle more and soon. Back and forth to work is about all he gets!

And me, I am still doing EMT classes Tuesdays and Thursdays! We will be done in the end of June (hopefully before I go into labor :) It has been fun and also very stressful at the same time. Cramming for tests while managing the kids and my tired pregnant body! But we will get it done! I have enjoyed going out on some calls and have the pager on most of the time to see what is going on! Baby Prince Thovson is growing right on schedule and doing amazing! We had our 3rd ultrasound yesterday to see if he was head down now, AND HE IS!!!!!!!! ( 1st one was at 20 weeks when we found out the sex and they do their measuring and such of him, then I had one around 32 weeks when I was not feeling him love too much and found out he was still side ways with his legs into the inside of me so when he kicked i really could not feel it, then yesterdays to see if he was head down yet!) And the tech says he has TONS of hair (just like his sisters!). I can not wait to see what he looks like! Curly hair like the girls? We are trying to decide on a name since it is less then 1 month away from the due date! Think we figured one out, sorry secret though! I am dilated to a 1/2 cm! A ton I know! I have never dilated been going into labor so this is new! Probably means nothing but we shall see! He will come when he is ready and I am not worried. Jake is worried about the 1 hr and 15 min drive to Sioux Falls!

That is about all for now!
