Staples Baby will be coming round the mountain

I went to the doctor today and was going to beg to have the doctor induce me this Friday when my mom gets here so that she could see the birth. I didn't want to have to wait any longer. Well my blood pressure was a little elevated, and the doctor came in to check me. She said, "let's check and see what is going on." Last week she called me Fort Knox, so I said that it would probably be the same as last week. She started fishing around and it was hurting pretty badly, and she says, "I'm trying to make your cervix mad, you're at a 3." What a three I've never been a three until after my water gets broken. She said, "let me call the hospital and see what I can do." I was thinking this weekend for sure, but she popped her head back in the room and said, "tomorrow." So we got our induction paper work and a time to arrive at the hospital (5:30 am). So I call tomorrow at 4:30 and see if there is a bed available and check in at 5:30. My doctor said she is going to get my contractions started, and then break my water and then we'll get to it. I'm a little nervous, Sydney is a wreck, Nick is frazzled because he is supposed to have a check ride tonight. So we'd appreciate some prayers. Love you and will keep you posted.

Happy Birthday Cade, Haley...and Finn!!

We wanted to let everyone know that our little baby Finnegan Robert was born on June 29th at 4:41pm. Everything went very well for mom and baby. He's doing a great job of nursing and sleeping. He's a very happy, healthy 7lb 9oz 19 1/2 in little man.


Finn has dark hair, so we're excited to have a red-head, a blonde, and a brunette.

More Seestors Retreat.

Here are the pictures I took at the seestors retreat. Enjoy!

Seestors' Retreat

Last weekend was our Seestors' Retreat in St. George. We had such a fun, relaxing weekend. The highlight of the weekend was most definitely the pool party in my backyard. Most of you didn't know I had a pool in my backyard, but I did on Saturday. I'm wondering if the seestor that has pictures of the party will post those?? Not sure what they look like, so, maybe just email them to me, so I will have them. We drank smoothies in the pool under the shade of a palm tree. In the evening we had tiki torches and lanterns and Aunt Bonnie rigged up a "water feature" in the rocks. That evening was lovely until the famous St. George cockroaches came out and after Bonnie got tired of stomping on them and realized she couldn't keep up, we went inside. We went out to dinner in Sprindale and ate out on the veranda. The weather was perfect and we had a handsome European waiter named Ludo. On Sunday, all my seestors went to church with me. It was so fun to sit there with all of them. After church, we had the cousins that were in Cedar City join us for Fathers Day dinner, along with Grandpa and Kathleen. Stuffed ourselves again.

Aunt Bonnie made some cute aprons for each of us seestors. We all wore them on Sunday while making dinner. I have included a picture of us all in our aprons. Thank you so much, Bonnie.

Thank you all my seestors. I love you so much and am thankful Heavenly Father blessed me to be in your family.

Family Recipe Book

We are going to put together a family recipe book. If you have a favorite recipe please email it to me deanngoldsworthy@hotmail.com. We will be putting them together next year at the reunion so you have a while but don't procrastinate until the end. If you want a copy for yourself there will be a slight charge for paper, sheet protectors and a binder. I'll let you know how much when I see how many recipes there will be.

Let the Games Begin!!!

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to all of the Biggest Losers out there! Today is the first day of the rest of your life! Or something like that. I am really excited to be playing this game with everyone and wish everyone the best of luck. Even though I can't wait to take all of your money in September. Good luck and remember: move more and eat less and the weight will just fall off!

Family Reunion 2009

Here is a slideshow of some of the pictures taken at the family reunion. Special thanks to Scott and his Family for letting us stay there! We had a good time and certainly missed those who were unable to attend! We played bunco, apples to apples and a fun dice game with prizes! We also measured everyone's ankles to see who truly had the most 'freakishly small' ankles. The crazy boys took a dip in the freezing water, even the dog was smart enough to only get a tad bit wet! We had so much fun and are looking forward to next year's reunion.

Reunion

I would just like to say thanks to Scott and Faeth for hosting us at the reunion again this year. We are all so sorry to hear of the passing of Scott's granny and that you couldn't stay and enjoy the reunion. We all had a lot of fun. Thanks again

Directions

Hi Guys- Here are the directions if you are coming from the South. Wherever you are, drive towards Evanston, WY. Get off on the 2nd Evanston exit and go to your left. You will go through two or three lights and take a right over the bridge towards Highway 89. Follow Highway 89 through woodruff and randolph. You will get to a point where you either have to turn left or right. GO LEFT!!! (Right takes you to jackson hole. There will be no Rasmussen's in Jackson Hole) This is the Utah 30. You will go through the canyon and when you come out you will see the lake. Continue on the 30 for about 20 miles. Go through Lake Town and past Rendevous Beach. About 2 miles past Rendevous Beach you will come to a big curve in the road where you will see a campground and a building where they are renting boats and jet skis. Turn into the parking lot and follow the road down. If you look to your left, you should see the Bear Lake Monster in the form of a decrepit boat. The second and third trailers are will you will find your relatives. If you make it to the turn off for the golf course, you have gone about 1/2 mile too far.
If you are coming from Logan, I believe that you just come down Logan Canyon and go right out of Garden City. Pass all of the new houses that are on your left. You will see a barn and a hill. The campground is on the other side of the hill. Follow the above directions when you get to the campground.
My cell # is 801-792-2088. Gabe's cell # is 801-440-1621 and Aunt Ann's is 801-359-6403. One of us should have cell reception. Unfortunately, Scott's Granny died yesterday, so he is not going to be able to be at the reunion at all. Henry and I are going to have to leave after the race on Saturday morning so that we can be there for the funeral. Thanks everyone and call if you need additional directions. Love you all!!!!

Address?

What is the address for the reunion? We will be going a different way than most people. Please, someone let me know the address and possibly some landmarks. Thank you!

Reunion reminder

Everyone remember to bring a prize for bunko (under ten dollars). Also remember jackets and any games we might want to play since it could be raining. Cousins remember to bring a treat to share. We don't want anyone going hungry or losing any weight on this reunion.

Mom built a fire this morning!

Yes. I've been up here in Montana this week visiting with my family. This morning I woke up to find Mom building a fire in the fireplace. Today is June 8th. It was 47 degrees this morning at 8:30.

Have I announced yet that I'm moving back to Los Angeles?

Can't wait to see you all at the reunion!

Reunion Time

Hey Guys- Just wanted to let everyone know that it looks like the weather isn't going to be quite as fabulous as it was last year. The Ten Day Forcast on Weather.com says that the high next Saturday is going to be about 67. Hopefully as the week progresses, that will change, but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. We are excited to see everyone regardless of the weather! Everyone drive safe and we will see you next week.

Happy birthday to Laurel, Dad aka Granpa, and Hayley and Cade.
