The most annoying Christmas song ever....from us to you :)

Yes, we have updated our blog for the Christmas season. Luke has decided we should put his favorite song first on the playlist. He would play it over and over, if the rest of us would let him! If it drives you nuts, just skip to another...I know I will!

More superhero stuff to come! Another Goldsworthy boy!

Hey everyone,
Yup, today we found out we are having another little boy! Luke is excited, Chloe is very dissapointed, and Joel will only laugh and call the baby a coffee pot or heart attack?? He's in a very silly stage. John and I are so happy to be having another healthy baby! In a few years John is totally going to get his butt kicked when it comes to wrestling!

The great thing about being diabetic is that you get lots of cool ultrasounds. Today I got my ultrasound at the high-risk clinic. They have an awesome 3-D machine and I was able to see the baby so well! I couldn't believe how much it looked like a newborn baby. Dispite the fuzzy pictures, he actually looks alot like Joel, and it was much clearer on the moniter. John was able to call during the ultrasound and find out the news with us!

Cousins in Vancouver!!!

Last weekend the kids, Aunt Tressa and I took a road trip to Vancouver to see my cousin Dayna and all her kiddos. We have the best time with them. Our children (7 total + two on the way) have so much fun together and it's great to watch them play. Reminds me of when we were all kids.

Whoa! I'm 30!

Here are some pics from my 30th b-day. Mom and Dad watched the kids while I went shopping!....boy, did I feel more normal after that! The kids and a family friend got me balloons and presents yesterday, and we had a really great family party tonight, with soooo much really great food! I'm stuffed! Thanks everyone! It was a great b-day!

Life at our place

Here are a few pics from our house to yours :) I have no idea why my letters are blue and underlined!
Auntie Holly and Joel, watching a movie.

Luke, doing his latest Spiderman thing. He does this many times a day!

Luke and Dad working on the entryway. Luke is really (unsucessfully) trying to drill in a screw. It kept him very busy and was pretty cute :)

Early Happy Veteran's Day

The longer John is in Iraq, the more we both realize what an amazing country we live in! John was saying the other day that our democratic process is surely devinely inspired, because after two different power parties battle out an election, one humbly supports the party that won, and the winning party graciously thanks the one that lost. In some countries, one would plant a car bomb under the other parties car.

So thank you, to all who have served in the past and all that are serving today, so selflessly, to make our country what it is today.

Applesauce anyone?

Mom and I canned 77 quarts of appleasuce last Saturday. It was exhausting, and I figure we can probably open a jar every third day between now and Summer. Applesauce anyone??? OK, maybe we over did it a little... :)

My Chloe Girl

Today I came home from work to have Chloe telling me that she was naughty for the babysitter. She seemed so reclusive, which she is more of an introvert than me, but also seemed sad. Sometimes I realize that we get NO alone time with John being gone. I get time with Joel, while the older two are at school, but no time for just them alone. Therefore, I decided it would be best to keep her up late now and then and go out for coffee, well coffee and hot chocolate. So, we hit Starbucks! When I told her we were going on a date by ourselves, her eyes light up, a big smile crossed her face and she rushed down stairs to get dressed up. We visited at Starbucks and then did a little clothes shopping at Target. It was so much fun and I realize what fun part she'll be throughout the years of my life. We have our right brain in common. We love music, dancing, clothes and decor. I'm so thankfull God gave me such a fun girl! And I can't wait untill John comes home, so we can have more regular "daughter dates", as she calls them.

I've been tagged....here are 6 random things about me.

1.) I complain about it, but I actually like it when all my kids crawl in my bed at night. It's so cozy....and squishy, but they're so sweet like that.

2.) I actually don't like all the house improvement I do, I really just do it so I can decorate it, which I love.

3.) I would normally describe myself (when not pregnant) as someone who drinks way too much coffee and runs around with my head cutt-off. (Possibly, a slight case of adult ADD).

4.) I'm a good piano player and a horrible guitar player, but I enjoy both.

5.) I think there's nothing better in life then a fall or winter Sunday morning, with my husband, my kids running around wild, a cup of hot coffee and the paper. You have no idea what I would give for one of those mornings.

6.) Nothing touches my heart more than when my kids show me that they are understanding what life is really about.....what God wants us to do, and by taking care of others, as we would wants someone to do for us, we get the greatest joy of all.

Halloween 2008!

Yes, here are the superheros at their best! So much for the Hulk brothers, Luke wanted to be his good ol' Spiderman self...lots of holes in this costume by now, and Joel decided to wear Luke's Batman pj's at the last minute, so we had to throw on a cape and make a quick mask. Here they are climbing on my 1940's house detailing. They love to climb it to the ceiling like the real Spiderman would :)

Holly's boyfriend, Alex, with the Hulk gloves.

Brady bannana-man, and the other kids in an action shot. Didn't Carinn do an awesome job on his costume!

Holly and Alex as the cheapest thing they could find to be.....raindeer from the dollar store.
Chloe as, yes you guessed it, Hannah Montana. This is what happens when you buy a cheap wig a month before Halloween. Note to self, buy this the day before, as they are impossible to comb through.Yes, the picture is awefull! I worked that day, and was so tired, so I told Holly that I should go as a single, white-trash, pregnant mom, or something like that. So, we had a really good laugh creating this shot. No, I didn't go like this, but the picture turned out so awefull, that I had to post it. I love all the canning boxes and food dryer in the back.
First stop....Granmpa and Granma Pentecost's house.

Second stop was our farm's harvest dinner at Granny's and the third stop was our friend, Jessica's Halloween party. Here she is with her doggie.

Chloe bustin' a move with her first time at Guitar Hero! .....you rock!

Our friends Nate and Heather Brown came to stay with us this week. They are the makers of Maid Naturally, a buisness that I have advertised to the side that includes all sorts of wonderfull things to clean your house organically (sold at Yokes). It was so much fun to have them! I have to add that there new Cinnamon and Orage house cleaning spray is my new favorite. It smells awesome and reminds me of Christmas! Aren't they cute!

Nothing but Noodles

Lately, I've been working more than usual, so the kids and I will sometimes hit restraunts on the nights where kids eat free. Well this week, I finally worked on a Monday, so we went to Nothing but Noodles where the kids eat free on Monday nights. It was Yummy!

Yum.....peanut sauce!

Chloe, being silly.

Luke doing the same.

Aunt Holly coloring with Joel. I think they're drawing a pumpkin.

Joel was the funniest, because he insisted on eating everything with his chopsticks....just like his dad! Here he's eating his breadstick with the chopsticks.

The Cousins are Here!

Dayna and I

Keith, who came off the plane to see everyone in a lion's suit! He's obviously a very fun uncle!

Chloe and Raleigh, best of friends :)

Holly and Heidi

Cutie patootie Noelle!

Last weekend my cousins Dayna, Heidi and Keith came to town to make applesauce and hangout. Dayna has 4 kids (and #5 on the way), so our kids have an awesome time playing together. It was so great to get to see and visit with everyone!
