Busy Busy Busy....

It has been busy around the Thovson household the past few weeks.

A few weeks ago, I got to go to Fargo (with out the kids and husband) and stayed with my sister and mom in a hotel. We went out for supper, did some shopping, enjoyed staying up till 230am talking and sharing stories. What a true treat it was to be together with them! It does not happen nearly enough! (P.S. We need to do this at least once a year Mom and Kelly!) It was a icy drive past Watertown, but I made it!

The true reason I was going up north was to see my Grandma (mom's mom) because she was having a had time getting back to health after being in the hospital, a fall, chemo, and cancer. I needed to see her and spend time with her, and Lord let me tell you I AM SO GLAD I made that decision. God was truly pushing me into the right direction!! My mom and I only spent a couple hours with her (she was getting tired) at her house. It was so nice to see her and enjoy conversation. This is now treasured forever!

Then within the next week-2 weeks, she would end up entering the hospital again and would start to go downhill fast. Soon she was being moved from the hospital to her home and was taken care of her last few days by all 5 of her kids. I am sure Grandma thought that was so amazing to have all of her kids there with her taking care of her and sharing those last days with her by her side. On the 17th, her suffering was over and she is now celebrating with our Lord!

Love you Grandma and we now have another Angel to watch over us.

The girls are doing great. Gabrielle is in her last few months of preschool and next year off to Kindergarten! She loves school, her teachers and her friends. She continues to amaze me everyday, how much her is growing up. She is such a beautiful and smart little girl! Avery is always trying to keep up with her sister. She calls Gabrielle "sissy"! It is the cutest thing! She makes us laugh everyday with her personality. She is truly an amazing little girl too! Crazy at times! And "Jr" is still kicking me and showing me he is in charge! My next appt is Good Friday, I will be having the glucose testing and my RH shot! Ya me! Both him and I are on track and I am just enjoying him right now! (There is truly nothing like being pregnant and feeling your little one move! What a miracle.) Jake is working hard. Starting to get busy again with the Spring and super nice weather here! I am doing EMT classes every Tuesday and Thursday till the middle of June! I am so thrilled to finally be doing this, I have been interested as long as I can remember. (with us moving so much never had the chance to get it done! and now is the time) I am looking forward to the future and as most know I would like to go to school for nursing one fine day. I figure I am "young" still and have PLENTY of work days ahead of me. Right now focusing on the kids while I can!

St kitts 2012

I brought this Hottie home with me!

LAND.......

Back in MN,with beautiful snow/rain falling pretty much all day, kids home, husband back at work, and the house calling my name! The feeling of being home is always so great!

So from the sounds of my last post, I was going to find a ride back to Canby to get our girls. Well, I ended up going to St. Kitts and loving it (all of it but the flight!). 4 hour 45 min flight there and we landed in paradise! Wow, we have only been to Mexico, but this was something else I tell ya! Mountains (hills not sure), volcano's, beach, ocean=God's Work!

Jake went zip lining while we were there. He enjoyed that! I stayed at the resort and took a nap! He did some snorkeling too, I just took the pictures! We enjoyed relaxing on the beach, by the pool, eating, drinking smoothies, drinking a few drinks (not me of course), and just relaxing in the room and resort! It was a great time! But we are happy to be home!

Thanks for my mother in law and sister in laws for watching our girls! We appreciate it SO MUCH!

A trip to St. Kitts

2:34am Sunday- Today is the big day we fly out, and I am having tons of anxiety. I told Jake, who can I talk into coming and getting me from the cities!! That is how bad it is! I feel like backing out of a trip to St.Kitts. I obviously can not sleep, alarm will be going off at 4:30 am to get ready and off to the airport for a 7:30 flight. We facetimed (a live video chat) the girls last night and Avery cried seeing our faces....that was super hard for me. ( this is the first times we have been away in a long time and for longer then 2 days.) Avery is a mommy and daddy's girl, so is Gabrielle bu she handles being away a lot better. She understands mommy and daddy will be home and will get you some fun stuff, Avery on the other hand does not understand and that is what is hard. Praying everything goes fine for everyone involved, because this mommy has cried once, and we are still in the cites. From the sound of it this is a 6 1/2 hours flight to St. Kitts. Wow Lord help jake and I! And off I go to try to get some more sleep. Love you Gabrielle and Avery! Miss u tons.

Ultrasound Pics and News!

3D face and hand up by face (no pics please!)

Today was the BIG day! We found out we are having a.....BOY! The Thovson name will go on! (Guess that is a good time, Just kidding Thovson's!) Everything is on schedule for a due date of June 29th. He was so sick of pictures that at the end of the ultrasound he yawned! So cute! Those ultrsound never get old, seeing the baby up close is so great! So real! Enjoy the pictures!

Off to St kitts this Sunday! Whoop whoop pictures to follow!

Update

Gabrielle and some kids from her class singing at the Family Fair, Saturday in town!

(The girls in the front are not in her class they are younger!)

Hudson (I am sure some of you have heard about him from Gabrielle) is the one next to her!

Update- The 6th is our ultrasound. We are going to it as a family and Chrystelle might even join us too! I have been feeling her/him move now more and more! Can not wait for the BIG movements so the girls can feel that! Gabrielle remembers it with Avery, so she is excited!

And also getting ready for our vacation to St Kitts the 12-18 of Feb! Will be nice to get away, but we will miss the girls TONS! I plan on taking a lot of pictures while we are there! So stay tuned for that!

No texting!

I wanted to let everyone know as of the 27th of this month,Jake and I will no longer have texting incoming or outgoing on our phones! I thought paying $20 for it was a little much! (I am getting cheaper and cutting out the stuff in life we do not need.) So I guess, a call or facebook message will have to do from now on! (And also remember we do not have data phones so we do not get facebook and email instantly to our phones!)So if it is something that needs a answer ASAP might need to call! Our phones are actually going to block texts so we will get NOTHING!

Thanks!
