BABY NEWS!!! 59 days left!!!!!

Well its not the best picture I just wanted to remember how big I have gotten!

I went to the doctor 2 weeks ago and found out I was measuring 36 1/2 weeks when I should be only be 30.... the doctor was alittle worried he told me that it was either a really big boy or we might be having twins! WHAT!!! So because I was so big I got another look at my sweet baby!

So as you can see there is still only one baby in there!!!! Whew!!!! He is healthy! And they say all that fuzzy stuff on his head is alot of hair! (Don't know if you can see it but that is what Im told)

So then why am I measuring so big you ask? Lots and lots of water! So for the rest of my pregnancy I get to have another ultrasound in 2 weeks and a stress test every doctor appointment. Ive been told to keep it easy and not to lift anything to heavy! So other than that we are all doing great! Its been a pretty good pregnancy! And we are on the final countdown!!!! YEAH!!!! I can't wait for this sweet little boy to get here!

OUR 1ST PINEWOOD DERBY!!!

They gave us 2 months to finish the car! But we had a hard time knowing exactly how to go about it. Tyson knew he wanted a mustang police car and that is as far as we got until about 2 weeks before the event! With the help of Great Grandpa Fawcett and his super wood talents he helped us shape Ty's car! And the rest his history! We were putting weights in 15 min before check in time. But we made it! And doesn't look nice!

Tyson was very proud of his car! He did say as we left the house.... It may not be the fastest car but it will for sure be the coolest!!!!!

We didn't win any races... until

we raced it backwards on the very last race! I was so proud of my little boy and what a good sport he was! He says next year his car will be really cool and might even win some!

He got the award for the Best Detail see it really was the coolest!

UPDATES!!!

TYSON PLAYED BASKETBALL THIS YEAR AND LOVED IT!!!!

Here are a few pictures of him and all his skills!!!

He had a really good time! His team won all 5 out of 6 games and the one they lost they played the 4th graders! He says basketball is one of his favorites! SO looks like we will be sticking with this sport!

Abbie and Ema-

On one of the first nice spring days my girls came in and asked for some marshmellows so I gave them each a cup full. And this is what they were doing with them!

They had each found a good roasting stick and some sticks for their pretend fire. And were roasting their bunny shaped marshmellows! It was sooo cute!!! I bet you can't guess what they want to do this summer!

ITS BEEN SO LONG SO MUCH TO UPDATE!!!

Well I thought I would update our blog considering all that has happened since I last posted!
We found out in September we were expecting a new addition to our family! We kept it a secret for about a month before we told our kids! I was so sick that they were really worried and telling DeReese that we should take mom to the doctor. So we thought we would fill them in on why my new best friend was the toilet! We told them that they had to keep it quiet until after Thanksgiving when we told the rest of the family I was so proud of them that they made it that long! December was a better month for me and the nausea finally stopped! I am feeling much better and am finally enjoying this pregnancy! I am 21 weeks. So HALF way there! Yeah!!!! And we just found out we are having a BOY!!! We are so excited! Here are some pictures of the ultrasound not the best but that's all I have so here goes!

This one is of his cute little feet!

All of the pictures have scratches from the machine down the middle so they are really terrible!This one is a face shot!

And yep this shows ITS A BOY!!!!!

Tyson wanted a boy so bad! But I thought for sure we were having a girl. So the night before we had this big talk about if it is a girl he will have to be happy and love her just like he does his sisters! We made blue and pink cupcakes so we could tell grandma Lorna and grandpa Richard. And the kids went to bed yelling back and forth from rooms Its a boy! No sir its a girl!

We woke up the next morning and got Tyson and Abbie ready for school. As Tyson went out the door he says to me.... Mom don't come home if its a girl! I knew he was kidding but, Wow I was so excited to find out it was a boy so I could go home again!

Ema went with us and when the tech told us the news she fought with her dad. No its a Girl! And on the way to grandma house she kept saying I'm having a sister not a boy! Over and over and over! She is now very happy to be having a baby brother though. Only took a couple of days!

Abbie was a little disappointed I think when we handed her the blue cupcake she just stared as Tyson jumped up and down yelling at the top of his lungs its a BOY yeah its a boy!

My kids are way excited now however and want the baby to come now and not in the months we have left! I am so glad to be adding this new addition to our family! And very grateful he is healthy! I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for this special blessing in our lives!

And now I am finally caught up on my blogs! I will probably post again in three or four months! Until then have a great winter or spring whatever mother nature has decided this is.....

CHRISTMAS AT THE GOODWIN'S!
I apparently didn't get any pictures of our Christmas this year. Other than the boys putting up the lights. So here is our Christmas 2011!


Tyson so badly want to help his dad put up the lights this year! However when he got up there it was alittle high for him! So he only got that far before he came back down! :) However alittle latter he got alittle braver and went higher up!


DeReese putting up the hooks to hold on the lights! This is the first year we have done it so we weren't really sure how too! I wish I would have got a picture of his other helpers that were up on the roof with him. Yep our cats thought it would be fun to help him up there! However they didnt want to come down!


Here are some pictures of them lit up! Oh what a pretty house I have!
Yep he is still up there. Since he got home from work at 5 he did most of it in the dark!

We Did Have Snow This Year!

Not much but my kids sure had fun while it lasted!

Ema had so much fun! Tyson and her were making trails through the snow! This is the first year she even wanted to go out!

I LOVE this picture of my Abbie!

So Cute!!!!!

Tyson wouldn't let me get a good picture of him so you could see his face. So here is what I came up with. What a funny kid!

Here is all my kids having a great time! With our inch of snow!

We sure hope this isn't the last of the snow. But its not looking good!

ABBIE'S 6th BIRTHDAY

She wanted butterfly cakes for her birthday. So for the Goodwin party we got these cute gummies and put them all over her first cake! Grandma and Grandpa Goodwin, Loryann and Josh and Thomas, Cylista and their family came it was a good time. And Abbie love being able to play with her cousins!

Then we had a party on her birthday with the Fawcett family... I found out how to do this cake on the internet and I think it turned out great! Abbie loved it!

Abbie has grown up so fast! She loves school and is doing so good at it! She is a great big and little sister and loves playing with her brother and sister! She loves to cook with me! And loves helping her dad with anything he is doing! She is a wonderful part of our family. And I love her so much! Happy Birthday Abbie!
