Life is Good!

That's how I'm feeling these days! I have adjusted to my "limited activity" life and I would have to say that life is good! We have had beautiful, sunny weather for the past few weeks! Just what the doctor ordered! We usually go down to Phoenix about this time of year for about a week and soak in the Arizona sun! Since we can't go the sun came to me!! (Except for the freakish hail, snow, wind storm we had this morning)

Last weekend we threw surprise 40th birthday for my sister Christine. She says she'll get even with us on our 40th, but I just told her to surprise me somewhere with warm, blue water and I would be good. (I tell you I may be frugal when it comes to somethings, but vacations are not one of them!) And I even got a big surprise when my Mom and my sister Paula Jean appeared at my door. It was so fun to have them here to go out to lunch, help with the kids, and just catch up! Miss you guys already!

Could it really be?!??

Yes, I may just have to change my song on the blog since it looks like we are actually pregnant with a boy!! I wasn't sure it was possible! We went to the perinatologist (sp?) and he was very optimistic that our little guy will make it. Thank you to all who have kept us in your prayers!

Another Thueson Baby on the Way!

Yes, we are expecting baby #5! That's a whole girls basketball team! No, we don't know that it is a girl, but chances are pretty slim for any blue. The girls have already picked out the girls name! Unfortunately, the girls and I were in a car accident a week before Christmas and half of the placenta pulled away from the uterus. We are hoping to keep the pregnancy and my doctor says we are going to celebrate if I can make it to 30 weeks. Hence the reason I am blogging at 3 am. When you wake up in the middle of the night and imagine what it would be like to have a 2 or 3 pound baby, you might as well blog to get your mind on to something else. I am feeling fine and we just hope it all works out! We'll keep you posted.

Random Fun Pictures

So, Dad takes the cream and smears it all around his face.

And a little more smearing! Perfect!

ONE.....

TWO......

THREE............. These two little girls have so much fun together!

So, Justin was studying for a Claims Law test with Leah. This shows you how exciting the book is. I think Justin would have been asleep too, but there wasn't enough room.

This is what happens in a house full of girls on Martin Luther King Day!

My cute girls in pink. I got those cute shirts for $2 at Target! I love that place!

Lovely photo!

This picture just makes me smile!!!

Christmas Pictures

Lovely Christmas morning photo! Justin wanted me to do all of the girls hair before pictures, but it's Christmas! First things first!

So, Santa brought Aubrey an Easy Oven. Now if any one knows where I can find a regular 100 watt light bulb we could be in business!

Hailey our little princess enjoying two of her favorite presents. Cinderella dress and a DVD on how to dance like a princess. It is not uncommon to hear "More juice My Lady" at the dinner table.

Santa must know Brooke's dad pretty well, what do you think?

Justin and his Aubrey Cakes

Happy Happy Hailey!


I'm thinking we have a jewelry model on our hands. About a week after Christmas we were at Costco and Brooke comes running back from the bathroom in tears. She thinks she has lost her CTR ring in the bathroom. So, I begin the search in the bathroom. First the floors then the sink, then the trash! Yes, this desperate mother started looking through the trash. No ring! As we were leaving Brooke said she could get money out of her savings account to get another one. When I return home, tada there in our own bathroom was Brooke's ring!! I can thankfully say she still has it!! Can you believe she will be baptized next month! When did our baby girl grow up?!

It's Beginning to look alot like...

So, last weekend we headed for the hills to get our Christmas tree. Right after
our ward Christmas Party we decided to head to Idaho City with friends to get our tree. At first I was excited but as we began to climb the summit to Lowman I began to cringe. My family members will know how that trip and I don't do well. I don't think I ever made that trip without having my parents stop! As an 9 year old my sister Christine told me that if I had salt I wouldn't get as sick. So, as we loaded up our "goody bags" from our store, I got some salt packets. Don't worry it gets worst. Just as we pass Lowman I start opening salt packets into my mouth and washing it down with that cheap nasty orange juice. Not the brightest child I know.


Anyways, here is our lovely tree we cut down. It looks great in our front room and the girls were thrilled to decorate it.

The girls got to practice the bb guns afterwards. We may not have any boys, but our girls do anything a boy can!!

Here's a shot of Justin's Coues deer he got in Arizona at the beginning of the month. Coues deer are very small and this was a "large" one. Justin had a fantastic time and I can't wait to taste what $80 lb. meat tastes like!!

While Justin was gone Brooke lost her front tooth. Her tooth was dangling for a few days, but she wanted Dad to be there when it came out. The day he was to arrive she was playing with Leah and bonked heads and out popped a tooth. Fortunately, Dad was home the following day to experience the second front tooth!



Have I mentioned lately how quickly Leah is growing up right before our eyes!


I am not usually one to post pictures about my birthday, but I had to show the decoration job Justin did for me. He is one who really dislikes streamers and balloons around the house. As soon as the party is over all decor comes down. So, I was impressed when I awoke on my birthday to see the kitchen decked out. And my cute little girls made and decorated my cake! I told them I didn't want the hunting stuff we put on Justin's cake so they made me a Hawaii cake instead. They probably spent an hour decorating it!! I remember the last time my Grandma Hall spoke to me was right after we found we were having girl #4. She said, "Oh, Lynette you are so lucky! Four girls to take care of you!" I am starting to see what she is talking about. I love my little girls!!

On Monday Justin came home and was watching the news when they talked about the tree lighting ceremony going on in downtown Boise. We thought it was a great FHE activity so we quickly found shoes and coats for all the girls and dashed out the door. We showed up with the tree lit and not another soul in sight! Apparently, it was on Sunday. As always, a day late and a dollar short. (one of my Dad's favorite sayings) So, here is a shot of the girls leaping like frogs down the sidewalk on a cold foggy evening!
