Baby coming soon....maybe.....

Well, I thought I would give a quick update on how things are going. I guess I've been nesting a little and getting ready for this baby. James and Andrew are now sharing a room and have bunk beds (thank you mom/dad and Kathryn!!) and Andrew is potty trained!! I'm glad that we just did it. He put up a fight at first, but he is doing awesome now. Mark was the one that made him (me) stick with it. We are just hoping that he doesn't regress at all when the baby comes. Mark and I painted the boys room, and built shelves in their closet. Babies crib, carseat, clothes, diapers, and everything else is all ready. There are still a few more house cleaning things I want to get done. I know I am only 37 weeks tomorrow, but my body is just about ready. I am now dilated to a 4 and 90% effaced. My dr. said he would be surprised to see me at my next appt. It gets me excited and nervous, but this is how it was with both James and Andrew, and I still made it to 39 weeks with them both and was induced!!! But you never know. I am just hoping to make it to atleast April. I think I will, as long as my water doesn't break. Hopefully my next entry will have pictures of our new little one!!!

Hair Cuts!!!

I couldn't take it any more! I try to grow the boys hair out for the winter to keep their heads warm, but I was tired of having to brush their hair every morning and trying to keep their fine blonde hair down in the back (I don't know how you parents with girls make time to do hair every morning! I guess that's why I am blessed with boys!!) So, here is a before pic....
And some after pics......I did put a little gel in their hair, so it's hard to see the full effect! Andrew was hiding a nice scab underneath his hair. Mark and I have no idea how he got it!

See you in two years mom and dad Thornley!!

Mark's parents were set apart as missionaries on Tuesday night (Feb. 26th). They left for New Zealand this morning. They are the new director's of the temple vistors center in Hamilton. We are going to miss them so much, but are very excited for them at the same time!
Unfortunatly Mark's only sister and her husband were out of town, but all of Mark's brother's were able to attend the setting apart. We all went to dinner at the Roof after and had way too much to eat!
Dave and Stephanie Thornley, Steve Thornley, Brian and Jean Thornely, Bob Thornley, Jon, Stoker and Rebekah Thornely, Mark and Heidi Thornley.
Sorry, it's so blurry. We have a good camera, we just don't know how to change the settings on it!

I'll play!

PhotobucketOkay, Kathryn, I'll play. Here are 10 random things about me and I included a random pic of me taken about a year and a half ago.

1. I only had 3 wisdom teeth. Mark only had two. I wonder how many our kids will have...
2. I have never broken a bone.
3. One of my biggest pet peeves is picky eaters!!
4. I despise dusting. This is a job I always leave for Mark. I do like to vacuum though.
5. By learning to blog, I am spending way too much time on the computer.
6. I am currently the YW's president of my ward, and it is the hardest calling I have ever had. That's including teaching early morning seminary.
7. I can't wait to not be pregnant and get back into running and get my body back!!
8. I love shoes, but I don't really love shopping.
9. I lived in only one house during my childhood and lived there until I got married at age 20. My parents still live there. Since that time though, I have moved 5 times.
10. I have donated my hair twice to Locks of Love, and hope to do it again in 2 years!
