Grandma Eleanor Martin/Harmon

This last week has been a busy one. My Grandmother Eleanor Martin (Harmon) died March 31, 2008, at the age of 92. Her viewing was held this last Monday April 7, 2008. It was so nice to see family that I haven't seen for years and to know that all of us are related and can be together in the next life for eternity because of this great woman. There was such a sweet spirit there and feelings of sorrow were overridden with joy over what a wonderful woman she was on this earth and what a wonderful reunion is going on where she is now. She was separtated from her husband for 22 years. I can't imagine how hard that must of been for her. I can't fathom being away from Doug that long and hope I never have to. She was such an inspiration to me, especially when it came to my testimony of the gospel and being a mother. She was amazing and I can only hope that some day I could amount to what she was in her pinky finger!!! I love her so much and will miss seeing her in this life, but how wonderful it will be when it is my turn and she will be there waiting for me.

Here are some pictures from Grandma's Viewing in Utah.....Arian, Racheal, Karie, Katie, and Jill have fun looking at these!!!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter everyone! We have had a wonderful Easter day. We had to remind the kids after waking up and playing for 45 minutes together upstairs that they should go check and see if the Easter Bunny came to our house and see what she left. Sandon went down and came back up to our room so excited saying "Mom, the Easter bunny brought Daddy a guitar(hero) and me a Wii". (We've been trying to get a Wii since Christmas and every place has been out of them so we had it and thought we would just give it to him today, normally they would not receive anything near this expensive for Easter) Then they found their vase of beans that had been replaced by jelly beans. For the last month in our house we would fill the vase up with pinto beans when ever someone said or did something nice for someone in the family....i.e. good behavior, cleaning up, compliments, manners etc. It totally worked bribing them to do things. They loved the idea and were so surprised that the Easter bunny remembered to replace the beans with real jelly beans. Our kids were very spoiled this year!! There were so many Easter eggs that Raleigh got tired of looking for them and gave up even though half of them were on the floor within her reach. She went straight for the creme cadbury eggs in her Easter basket and chowed down! We hope you all had as great of an Easter day as we have. I am grateful to my wonderful savior for his sacrifice and example!! What an amazing holiday to celebrate. Love you all - The Goodman Gang

This was our special vase that the Easter bunny replaced with Jelly beans.

One of the things Sandon got in his Easter basket was a "CARS" wallet and he was so excited to open and find that their was actually some money in it!

The kids couldn't wait to unload the eggs and open them all up to find out what kind of candy they got.

Sandon's first time playing the Guitar Hero

This is what the two of them did all afternoon. Mom got to play a couple too! I kicked Doug's butt on 1 song of Guitar hero.

Yummy Easter cupcakes! They actually looked prettier than they tasted. They weren't very good at all! My kids just eat the frosting off of the top anyway (which was the gross part)

Cabela's trip

We were supposed to go to the zoo on this Saturday but when we got there a huge rain, snow, windstorm arrived so instead we made our way down to the Cabela's store. We took one of the kids favorite babysitters with us (Jenika).

Treehouse Museum

Sandon's preschool class took a field trip to the treehouse museum in downtown Ogden. We had never been there before and the kids had a great time. We will definitely go back again. It was hard to fit all for the activities into one trip.

This was a huge tree that Sandon had to climb up stairways to get to the top. He was peeking through the bars at the top of the tree.

This was Sandon peeking through a whole in the bottom of the tree!

Any good books out there?

I recently added a little list of books that I have recently read and thought to let others know about. If any of you have any recent books that you have read that you loved please let me know. I'm looking for some new good reads. I do already know about the Twilight series but haven't gotten my hands on them yet. Please let me know!!

Big Day At Toys R Us with Daddy!

New Brunette

So I decided to go brown this last hair appointment. What do ya'll think?? I actually really like it! It's nice to have a little change every now and then. I had the blond for so long.
