Our Goodman Family: New Calling, Garden, Sick Children, Camping & Scary Stories

Corn from our very own garden! It was so much fun to eat what we made ourselves. The kids had fun shucking it themselves, and eating it!! Although, Linc was hilarious. The corn he chose to shuck had seriously 6 earwigs in it. He was freaking out as they were falling off everywhere. We were laughing so hard. It started to rain on us as well. It was a great day:)

Last weekend we had a campout in our yard. We all loved it! We roasted s'mores, told scary stories, and slept in our tent on the lawn. Thanks Mike for the great idea. We just love these little munchkins of ours so much. They are so fun to have around and get to play with. Though it was kind of cold that night, we survived!! (Even though I had to get up and potty 3 times during the night:)

Me and my precious girl

I love my little family!!

This girl and her hair! I'm really hoping this week to get her to the salon for the first time and get a real hair cut. I want her to have long hair so if we cut it now hopefully it will grow out thicker and pretty! Not that she's not pretty right now, she is my gorgeous little girl.

The next morning we got a TON of projects done around the house! Thank you Mikey! It was a good productive day. I painted some picture frame sets I've had forever (I bought them at Walmart, each set $1!! Best sale I ever ran into a few years ago.) Each set will go in their rooms. They still aren't hung, but hopefully soon and I can get some pics!! Mike bought a spray paint gun and painted Linc's headboard (Goodwill= $5), a canopy ring, and a mirror frame. Thanks sweetie!!

In the middle of our projects, poor Sequoia came to me looking super sad and said she didn't feel well. She had a fever, bummer. So instead of going on a date that night, we ordered take-out and stayed home with our munchkins. She was so tired and dreary the rest of the day. It was nice to be able to just be home with her:)

Quoi was still feeling yucky on Sunday, so Daddy and Linc got to go to church by themselves. I was sad to miss, but it was fun to get to be with my little girl just me and her:) Later that afternoon, while I was having a meeting upstairs, Quoi fell asleep on the couch at about 4pm. I tried to wake her up and eat some food, but she was so tired, I just put her to bed. She woke up about 11pm, ate a couple bites of bread, drank some water, and went back to sleep till the morning! 15 hours of sleep! By the time she was up and going for the morning, she said she felt good and wanted to go to school, so I sent her on her way. I'm still amazed how well she slept!

Mike was called to a new calling the Sunday Quoi and I couldn't be there. He is the Young Men's President. Oh wow, are we going to be busy the next few years! I was pretty surprised when he told me the week before. The bishop must have known he was just starting to be home more with us and snatched him. We will be just fine:) He's been in cub scouts for a while and I've been getting used to him being gone once a week. Now we just need to adjust to all the meetings and extra things. I'm so excited for him! I love the youth and I know he will be a fantastic leader. I'm excited for both of us to be busy and the ward and work:)

Picture frames for Lincoln's room.

This past week Sequoia really wanted to swim in her princess pool. After saying no a bunch, because I'm lazy and didn't want to set it up, her Daddy came to the rescue and filled it for her. She had a blast! I'm sure it was the last time to swim this year, it was cold when we was in! But of course she didn't care at all.

What our Saturdays look like.... the boys playing with their games, Mommy resting or doing projects, Quoia playing and swimming.

Some Phone Pictures:

The love my craft room! They can paint and do whatever and it just makes the floor even prettier.

Quoi's first Dental visit! She was great! She loved x-rays, the cleaning, the people.... everything except the Dentist's chair!! She did NOT like to lay back. But she did it! And got to eat at McDonald's for a reward. Good girl:)

Still a bit tired from the dentist:)

Two days after Quoia was sick, Linc got it. He got to stay home from school with me for two days! He is so easy when he's sick. He hardly moved, either stayed on the couch, or in my bed. What a sweetie. The second day his fever jumped even higher to 103.9. He took a nap and went to bed early as well. Luckily it was gone by the morning, but it's always so sad when little ones are sick.
