Girls Camp 2010

Becky and I got to do the activities for camp. It was a lot of fun to get to play with the all the girls and have time to hang out with them.

My girls:) Tayliann, Holly, me, Kayla, and Franki

Our beautiful outfits for our skit!

We did a skit to the song, "Pants on the Ground" on American Idol. It was about modesty and it was awesome. Young Womens Stake Pres front and center:)

Becky and I were "cleavage out the bottom"

Stef, "bum cleavage"

My girls and their kit, Giselle and Edward and a bunch more, so funny!

The girls at the "great and spacious building" just freezing our bums off! It was super fun to taunt the girls:)

Right before I went on the zip line; so scary!!

I love my girls and my 6th ward!!!!

So much fun!

Happy Birthday Sequoia!!

The Girls

The Cousins

The Crazies:)

Kurt and the Jap brother

It was hard camping with them without Daddy but they sure did have fun.

Uncle Dan thought it would be fun to show Linc how to slurp syrup. (The other Uncle Dan thought it would be fun to show Linc how to throw rocks at people!!!)

Nerds!

Rachael and cute little Grady I finally got to meet!

Lincoln is so sweet with Sequoia, I love it!

Pretty girl:)

As soon as we got to the water Linc freaked out wanted to get on the boat until finally climbing aboard. He was so cute! Grandma said he didn't move once he got on. I was so proud of him. Good boy, first time on a boat.

The Phister/Zizmer/Clegg Reunion was fun! We went to the Heber girls camp place. It was so pretty. I just wish it could have been another night. Not without Mike of course, but it was fun! The kids and I ended up staying the night at my parents house Sat night before heading home. I was so tired!

The night before the reunion the kids and I came so I could go play for Anna's Bachellorette Party. Its been so fun to hang out with my sisters so much lately. On the way to Ogden that day Sequoia threw up 3 times in the car and I had to keep pulling off the side of the road. It was awesome. I think we are just meant to have pukers, I swear! Our kids are always sick!

Our pretty girl on her birthday first thing. I love morning sleepy eyes.

She loves to feed herself now. I don't like it because it is very messy, but she's happy. And this girl is crazy when she is not happy. Girls...

Happy Birthday Babe

Yep its June and I still use the Christmas paper, at least its inside out!

She is walking all over now. Pretty much on her birthday she picked it up great and is becoming a pro.

We are getting them a sandbox for her birthday, we just haven't got it yet (too busy) but we got some toys for it at least.

She loved them

Me and the kids went on a walk to Smiths before Dad got home and got her gift, cupcakes, and balloons. I wish I would have gotten a pic of the stroller with balloons tied all over it. But of course as soon as we got home the princess balloon got stuck in the fan.

I just love my baby girl!

We went to Anna's wedding on Friday. We had a good time and she was a beautiful bride. We are happy to have Cory in our family! I'm so happy that Mike and I were both able to attend the sealing. I had the opportunity to go to the Ogden temple 3 times last week. It was wonderful.

Linc was sick and grouchy all weekend. It made for an eventful time. I took him to the Dr Mon and he has a left ear infection. And he keeps up-chucking the medicine so its been even funner!

Her first sucker
And P.S. inventor of the suckers.... I don't like you. You make children yucky, gooy, sticky. Not fun for Mommies. Thanks.

Eclipse. Awesome. Best. But not the line of 6 full theaters.

You can't really hear it well but he's so cute with counting. I love his voice!

Rude Mom! I couldn't help but get a video!

We love you sweet girl. We love your sweet and sour personality. Happy Birthday:)

Well, lots going on! Mike is on a job now feeling sick and yucky, Linc is on Day 3 of antibiotics and now Sequoia has a fever and congestion and I'm pretty sure a tummy ache. They both wake up a couple times back and forth throughout the night. I'm trying to get ready for camp next week, study for my lesson Sunday and organize my house before Grandma Goodman comes to stay next week.

But best of all... I gave my 30 day notice today!! I'm quitting my job. It has been a good couple months deciding if I should or not. Mike finally said "Times up, make a decision!" So I did. I was just so sad because I love my job! I chose Nice Happy Mommy at Home vs Mean Grouchy Mommy at Work. It is a great feeling! I'm excited to be with my kids more, and maybe make some better dinners for Mikey when he finally makes it home:)

Yes we are alive!!:)

Wow I kept thinking I would write things down as soon as life slowed down but it just never did. I'm not even sure I can remember everything. We went to the Goodman Family Reunion in Albion, ID over Memorial weekend. It was super fun and we all had a good time playing on the awesome bikes, that I don't think Mike got off ever! :) We played games and just hung out. It was fun to spend time with Mike too, which is rare always so it was nice to not have him on the phone 19/7! (Maybe not quite every minute of the day, but pretty close!) I just super bummed we took zero pictures while there:(

On our way home from that Tyrel called and wanted to come stay with us for a week so we went to my parents and waited for them to come home from their camping trip and took him along with us. It was so super nice to have him stay with us! He mowed our lawn, first time, no wait, only time this season. He watched the kids while I went to work and was just fun to have in the house. You are very welcome to come back Ty!

Me and the kids went to Anna's bridal shower and dropped Ty off. It was fun to see extended family and hang out there for the day. Once again, no pics! I'm slacking. We are very excited for Anna's upcoming wedding and I think Mike will actually get to be there!

Youth conference for the youth here is finally over! It was a multi-stake one held in Rock Springs. I had to find rides for the extra 44 kids suppossed to stay with families in our ward as well as our own. It was crazy! I went to quite a bit of the conference and drove kids there and back usually getting home till after midnight each night. Boring I know, but just so happy its over and that the kids had a good time:) I still love my calling and my girls, thats all that matters. Now I just need to survive Girls Camp!

I'll have to do another post very soon to write about these stinkin cute kids we've got! Its way too late now to continue:)

Quoi's first blueberry experience

Yesterday was terrible with Lincoln. He got a canker sore on the side of his cheek and would scream (a very good one) every time he took a bite of something. Even swallowing water. He hardly ate anything the whole day. He would let us hold him for minutes on end which is very rare. I was so teary eyed yesterday:( It seems like such a simple thing, but it was most definitely not.

We made a trip to Walmart yesterday so on the way home we got food and brought it into Daddy's shop to eat with him (Of course minus Linc eating) The kid's loved seeing him during the day.

He knows almost all his colors now and had fun drawing them on the white board.

Quoi girl sucking on some yucky keys

By the end of the night yesterday, Mike finally got him to eat rice baby cereal and he loved it, weird. When he decided he was done he fed it to Sequoia. It was so stinkin cute! These two are so dang cute with each other.

One of Sequoia's million different smiles, but one of my favorite:)

She is finally in a big girl carseat and wanted to play in the old one. (Ignore the paint the little turds have had so much fun ripping off the closet)

Sweet girl...

Playing in the playroom

Some silly videos of Sequoia... Mike and I were looking back at a bunch of Lincoln's old videos and pics at this age and I realized I have hardly any of her. So here you go Sis:)

The Twin Cousins

We had a good time with Koban Roy. It was pretty much a week full of feed, clean messes, naps, and poops. The first couple days we had to suffer through Kob missing his parents while he cried a bunch (esp around bedtime when they usually come get him from the babysitter) but after we made it through that he was a fun little guy to have around. Don't worry Koban, Aunt Quelli loves you still and had lot of fun with you here. Quoia did especially. They are the cutest little besties.

Mike actually made it all week till Saturday until he had to leave on a job (which this last minute bummer job is now 3 or 4!) but he got a lot done while he was home. We actually put up a little stone wall in the front for the flower beds. It looks good! Now doing that we are probably going to paint the house and fix it up more. Can't just stop at one thing, right? I've got lots of projects lining up so I think it will be a good busy summer. Now I'm just hoping Mike can make it home for the Goodman Reunion this next weekend. We'll see! (I love you my darling!:)

"Mommy and Daddy, can I be the flower girl at your wedding???"

He came in the room with Daddy glasses. K and we've decided Linc is totally our Star Wars Nerd! He loves space and computers and of course tv. He could watch for hours if I let him (and no we do not) The boy just can't get enough of Walle these days. What is it with lame space robots that don't say anything except "waaaalllee" and "eeeeevvaa"???

Just love it!

Cowboy Kob

Our sweet little cowgirl

Quoi and Kob had so much fun together! I was so happy we got to spend that time with him.

You would think that he was the bully of the two because he's so much bigger, but no. Quoi is a stinker when it comes to teasing. She's pretty good at it. I was glad Koban was ok it.

She loves to "whistle"

He was so funny! I mixed his bowl with Multi-grain Cheerios and Fruit Loops. He ate the first bowl fine. When I put them in for a second he decided "No" to Cheerios. He picked each one out until he was happy. What a nut!

My favorite video!! Quoi is pro with the "Monkey" I'm so proud:)

"Uh, oh..."

Oh and ps, Quoi is doing such a good job standing up by herself! She just started. She absolutely will NOT let you help her. Good job sweet girl! And Lincoln now knows all his shapes (can't say them all but knows them) and 'blue' 'pink' and 'white' (The best colors) Good job Bubba!
