Holiday Happenings!

This Holiday Season has been exta special for us! We have been very blessed this year with the gift of finally having our own little family! We love our Cassie girl to pieces and can't imagine life without her now! She is one amazing little girl! We have been busy this season doing lots of fun things like making applesauce/ cinnamon ornaments, going to garden of glow, driving around looking at christmas lights while drinking hot cocoa, and attending a couple christmas parties.  We have been very very busy but loving every minute of it!

well it's really late and i'm really tired so I will be posting more christmas stuff tomorrow! Stay tuned!!

Mommy I won! I won!

These are the words i heard as i answered my phone at work on Tuesday! Cassie was at boys and girls club and they had a Christmas hat contest (which we only found out about the night before) we rushed to the dollar store, and came home and got creative. Here is what we came up with!

Our First Day

We had a great first day with Cassie! We got her room semi set up (we will finish it today) and then we went to mall for some lunch and shopping. When we got home she asked when she could meet her cousins, so we took her to meet some of them. She waited (impatiently) all day for our little neighbor girl sophie to get home from school, so she could meet her. They finally got to meet when we got home from meeting the cousins. They hit it off pretty well! Sophie even stayed for dinner! They were outside playing with our other neighbor kids Ryan and CJ and somehow they all ended up in our house playing the wii.

The girls ended up getting bored and started stamping instead, so The boys got upset and left because the girls wouldn't play the wii with them.After that the girls felt bad and made the boys i"m sorry/ merry christmas cards which they will give them today! Too cute!

After everyone left Cassie decided to paint jasons fingernails haha! Pink with glittery blue on top! soooo funny!

We decided to go see Jasons grandparents so they could meet Cassie. Such a fun visit! They laughed at jasons nails, and grandpa told Cassie the "gas" story! If you're in the Thueson family you know what that is! After a busy, busy day we were all tired so we came home and went to bed! All in all we had an awesome day! Cassie is an amazing little girl!

She's here!!

Just an update, SHE IS HERE!!! She is so cute and Jas is in so much trouble! She started off by stealing Jas's hat and hiding it then snagged his wallet and tried to hide it from him. And she wants to go shopping tomorrow to spend a gift certificate she got for her birthday a few weeks ago. Tomorrow will be so much fun spending Jas's money! LOL

Meet Cassie

This adorable sweet little girl will be joining our family tomorrow! We are so excited and can't wait for you all to meet her!

Life Throws us Lemons!

well it's been a rough couple weeks at the Thueson house. In the last 3 weeks we have had 2 trips to the ER, 2 surgeries, and our adoption fell through!Somehow today we have a smile on our faces and things are getting back to normal.FINALLY!! we have had a lot of support from our amazing family and friends! WE LOVE YOU ALL! We would have never made it through the last couple weeks without you! I'm happy to report that jason is finally on the mend after his 2nd surgery! our life is getting back to normal. next on the list is to finish getting sod down in the back yard and moving forward with health and welfare so we can finally have our family! It's been a long time coming! Life may give us lemons but they can't keep us down for too long. watch out world we are coming back strong cuz thats how we roll!!!

Pool Party with Erik and Nicci

Summer!

I know, I know.... Summer isn't quite here yet, but i wish it was! I miss you warm sunshine! The days where I can wear Tshirts and flip flops without freezing... the camping, and swimming, and all the other fun outdoor adventures that summer brings...SO HURRY UP AND GET HERE ALREADY! We have lots of stuff planned already, and it can't come fast enough... reunions, a couple trips home to see the family, yellowstone...add in working full time and doing lots of work on our house and you get one BUSY summer. won't leave any free time in between (especially since that will be spent working on the house), but that's ok. It's all going to be worth it! At least we get to squeeze in a few fun things :)

It's a good thing!

After almost 10 years with Sports Authority it's time to say goodbye. it's a good thing though. Better things are coming my way. Starting monday I will be working for D&B Supply! I'm very excited to start this new chapter in my life. Hopefully this is the first of many positive changes that will occur for us this year. We have a lot of work to do to reach our goals, but it will all be worth it in the end. I'm very grateful to have a job, and grateful for the many other blessings in our life. Thank you to all our amazing family and friends for your support! It means a lot to us! we love you all!

We're Still Here! I Promise!!

so let me catch you up on the latest Thueson happenings....

The job hunt:
jas found out about a month ago that his store is closing. He's been on the job hunt ever since. After a day or 2 feeling down. He picked himself back up and has been pretty positive this whole time. It's been a bit of a roller coaster the past few weeks, but i know he will find something! I have faith! He has another interview tomorrow so keep your fingers crossed! we will keep you updated on his job search...

Tripple Play:
A few weeks ago we went to Spokane to see my family. My parents treated all 5 of their kids and their spouses and families to a night at the Holiday Inn tripple Play for a night! It was a crazy couple days, and we were exausted when we got home, but it was a blast! We played Tons of bowling! I'm bowled out for a while LOL! We also played laser tag, swam in the water park, played miniature golf,and drove the go-karts (which they wouldn't let me drive by the way- totally sucked!) It was so much fun to spend a couple days with my family. It's been a little while since we have all been together.



Other than that we've just been working, spending time with family and friends, going for drives.... you get the picture......

Out With The Old....

I got the crazy idea to re-decorate our house. Nothing major just little things here and there. I will post before and after pics, but here's a glimpse of what i'm doing. The rest will have to be a surprise!
