This is just one of the MONSTER Stumps we pulled out from in front of our house this past weekend! I'm so glad to have these out of the yard!

All about this very cool park...

in Loveland Colorado! While we were in Loveland visiting Melody, Kirk and Aurora, we went to this very very cool park. I wish we had a park like this in Vernal! I think Clint and I liked it as much as the kids did!


Grandpa is the best helper!

Grandpa is an awesome spotter too!

These little blue seats don't look like much, but got you spinning very fast with just a little help!

Heber can do these all by herself!

Look mom, no hands!

The saucer swing... Heber didn't like it very much.

Aurora, Melody and Kirk

The tilted saucer.

If you don't think my husband had fun at this park you would be DEAD wrong!

That saucer swing was so cool I didn't want to get off, but this little girl inside me wasn't liking it at all! Haha!

I told you this was an awesome park!

About my little Heber...

who isn't so little anymore. First off I can't believe that I only have 37 days left! OMG I am SOOOO not ready for this baby! I don't have the crib put up, any of her clothes washed, etc. Anyways, in light of this baby coming, Clint and I have both been going through all of Heber's pictures on the computer of when she was first born! Here are some of our favorites....


Our first pic after her birth!


Chilling getting her hair washed in her first bath!


Her first car ride!


Her first taste of cereal!


her first pony at her first Christmas! Yes grandpa spoils her!

I could go on and on but I won't! Not very many more days until I will be starting to post about the new darling. We have a few names picked out but nothing is decided yet! Maybe I should post a poll on here. What do you think?

Life in General

Hi everyone... Just a quick note to fill you all in! We have been so busy! Riley and Anika are ready to be out of school and I am ready to have this baby! I start going to the doctor every week next wedneday and we can't wait to get her here! Anika has been invited to perticipate in the 2nd grade spelling bee at her school. She is very excited and we hope she does her best! Riley will be spending the month of June at his dad's and we will miss him a lot but he will have fun over there! Softball is almost over but Anika wants to try out for All Stars and we wish her the best of luck. Baseball goes through the June so we are far from done there. Work is busy buys for both Clint and I. I have been cut down to 28 hours a week and Clint's schedule has changed but other than that work is great! We are so grateful for our jobs that we won't complain. The economy will pick back up soon and things will be back to normal. Hope everything is going great in your lives!

Not alot going on...????

Well I would like to say that not alot has been going on in our lives, but the truth is I have just been lazy! We traveled to Colorado Springs on Thursday to see one of our favorite comedians, Jeff Dunham. He is a ventriloquist and he totally rocks! If you haven't seen him, you must have been in a hole somewhere.LOL! Our trip started out to be an anniversary trip for Clint and I but then we decided to extend it and see a bunch of family while we were there. We left that morning and my step-dad went with us to help with kids. The concert was AWESOME and hilarious. My favorite part had to be when the guitar guy sung his song about OCTO-MOM! Even he knows how crazy she is! Friday we visited with my dad's 2 brothers that live there and we had a wonderful visit with the families. Saturday morning we drove to Loveland to visit Clint's sister and her family. We haven't seen them in over 3 years and they had never met Heber so we knew this was the perfect time to see them. We had great food and another wonderful visit. When we left on Monday morning, no one wanted to be in the car and I do have to say that was the only downfall to our trip. I was very glad to get home and sleep in my own bed.
I had to hurry and study for my mortgage test that I took today but our baseball and softball schedules were not allowing it. My test was at 8 AM this morning and so the kids went to stay at grandma and grandpas for the night, so they could still get to school and the babysitters house! I woke up at 4:15 to get ready and leave by 5:15. I stayed up studying all night and even tape recorded some more stuff to listen to on the way and it must have helped because I passed! I was so excited and relieved when the test center manager told me I passed! Now I just have to have a background check done and wait for them to mail me my license! WOOT WOOT! So if you need a loan you can now come to me! I can't wait!

I will post pictures when I have a few minutes to get them downloaded on the computer.

Riley's Choice

Yesterday Riley got baptized! He has been taking the missionary lessons, and I am so proud of his decision to take this step. Riley's dad Brandon baptized him and it was very special to the 2 of them. You should have seen ALL the people there! Our families are HUGE! I am so glad that every one was there from all of sides of his family! It meant a lot to Clint and I and also to Riley. My in laws came from Richfield, my sis and brother in law came up from Cedar City and we just had a wonderful time! It was a lot of fun to have 7 more people and 2 more dogs at our house, we don't get to do that too often!


Here are my boys before the big event!



Here are my dad and step mom with my dad's parents.


Here is my little firecracker, she is such a pistol!


Here is a picture of my step dad who came down from Wyoming to see Riley too!


This is a picture of all of the Goodman side that could make it.

Again we are all so proud of Riley and the choice he has made! He had to go under 4 times before they got him all done but that's OK! We love you buddy!

Riley's First Game!

Riley has his first baseball game of the season yesterday! He is playing for the Diamondbacks and they look to be a pretty good team this year! At the scrimmage game on Thursday they boys got their uniforms. Riley of course chose number 3 which he has had every year since he started playing. I guess there was some confusion when ordering shirts and the coaches wanted him to take a shirt that didn't really fit him, but Clint stood up for Riley and said he has the number he wants and it fits him so he needs to keep it. Problem Solved. Or so we thought! Walking to the field on Saturday morning, I saw a kid in the number 3 uniform on the field that WAS NOT my son. I went into the dugout to say hello to Riley and wish him luck and asked him what happened with the uniform. He didn't want to tell me but finally did tell me that the coach made him trade but the number 6 uniform didn't really fit him, it was way too short. SO I promptly got mad. I walked out of the dugout and asked Camille (Riley's step mom) if she knew what had happened with the shirt situation. She was sitting by both of the coaches wives and they said that the coaches rounded up all the shirts and matched the sizes we had ordered to the boys and assigned numbers that way. YEAH RIGHT! I was so mad because I felt like Riley had been taken advantage of, and if you thought I was mad, you should have seen my husband! He was all cussing and giving me attitude. I could see his point but I wasn't going to make a big deal about it at that time. Anyways, the boys played well and we ended up winning 3-2. I hurried to the car since we had a bunch of family there and I wasn't going to make Riley embarrassed by making a scene. I was hoping Clint would feel the same way, and thank heavens he did. I guess it will all roll around right, or we can go have another jersey made that has his name on it. We didn't want to say something to the coaches and have them punish Riley for it. Anyways, I am off that soap box! I am glad Riley had fun, and I can't wait to see him improve this season as he has in the past! GO DIAMONDBACKS!
