Every year the Goodman's have a reunion known as the "Family Foot Rodeo". The activities of the day include: Three Legged Race, Egg Toss, Horse Relay Race (using stick horses) and the Magic Carpet ride....This is when a person sits on a carpet and is pulled by an ATV. We had a blast with our kids and will be back for some more action next year!

A few nights ago...Ella woke up and had a bad dream. So being the awesome mom that I am I told to go watch T.V. and she would be okay. So needless to say she must have had a good time watching late night T.V. ! We aren't sure how long she slept like this but she was happy in the morning.

On this Saturday July 3rd, I am teaching a class for Whole Wheat Bread....I am a little scared! I feel that a lot of people think of me as this thrifty, tidy, super homemaker. But I am not. I have my moments of greatness and also moments of defeat. I enjoy baking and trying new experiments when it comes to food.

About 3 months ago...we downsized our flock of chickens. Forrest has been working on a chicken tractor for our backyard. If you don't know what a chicken tractor is...it is a portable coop that is on wheels that can be moved all over the yard. The brilliant hubby that I have came up with the coolest design! The coop is a long rectangle and has wheels on the back and then he cut up part of a

Well for the last few weeks, Forrest and I have been attending a Family History Class. We are learning how to find people and how to get them all set up for Temple Ordinances. It has been very interesting and any time I go to class. I always think about my grandparents and how I have been holding up their eternal progression. I have everything set up to get them sealed...but haven't done it yet.

Here is my cook top where I prepare all the meals.This is my bread station...I keep all my supplies for bread making in this cupboard and pull drawer. This is my open storage shelves in the kitchen....I keep everything on them. So that I can have my coutertops clean. I got these shelves at Costco for $29.99 each. This is my new chest freezer. I love it....If you notice I keep my broom and mop

Guess where we went？ That is right we hit the Phx. Zoo...but the rest of AZ had the same idea, too!Forrest surprised us and took the day off so he got to help Miss C around the petting Zoo! At one point Miss C ran into the goat stable....It was quite amusing! Here is Miss C loving the Zoo.Here is the whole gang at the Zoo. Miss C was totally engrossed in the fake elephant!

Grant got "Hired" for his firstJob!He dug trenches for a sprinkler system and moved block for a person in our ward.I was so proud of the job he did...He enjoyed the money！I am pretty sure that I almost broke my toe at the start of spring break....But now it is getting better. This is why we didn't do to much of outings over the break. But all the kids did was play outside with their friends!

Most people don't know this but my mother-in-law loves to take pictures. Sometimes it is a hassele because the older kids give us a run for there money and don't obey! But the younger ones are so good about it. So I am thankful my mother-in-law carries her camera with her all the time. So she can capture the special moments like this one! Thanks Mom for your picture taking skills.

My Sweetie brought me wonderful flowers for my Valentine's present. We got the kids valentines' day treats! Instead of having a Valentine's dinner just for Forrest and I...we made a three course meal for the kids. They got to drink out of my special goblets and have apple cider. They totally loved it! Grant and Mathew wanted to know if we could do this everyday!

A few weeks ago, a dear friend of mine was nice enough to think of me and give me all of her Jillian Micheal's video. So I wanted to look at them before I started the program to know what I need to get out of my exercise accessory archive in my closet. When we ever watching the videos the girls started to exercise....These photos are the result of it. Just thought I would share I thought they

Last night dinner was a hit even with the picky eater. You see he hates Mexican food! But he really like the red sauce that I made. The additions I made to the sauce was Fresh cilantro and 1 can of tomato paste and 2 chicken bouillon cubes. Then when the sauce has been cooking for a few hours I took an emulsion blender and made it into one smooth sauce. You can also achieve this by putting it in

So the recipe of Chicken and Sweet Potatoe Stew was a hit! Everyone loved it including my picky eater.....The stew had a spicy but sweet consistency to it. The one thing I did differently was when it came to spices I add Italian seasoning instead of just the oregano. When it came to the chili powder I didn't have any so I add in Cajun seasoning but I only used 1/2 of teaspoon instead of a full

My mom came up w/ a great chicken tractor for me. It is made out of 2 old baby cribs and she used rain gutters for the feeder and water. She is very creative....When Grant was looking at it he said " Now I know where you get it from!" I just laughed and Yep maybe so will you! Thanks mom for all your hard work! Love ya!

Along with being a great cleaner for the kitchen and bathroom. I have also used the window cleaner before and it works great, too!2.
