YEAH!! Finally snow!!

We finally got some snow! and lots of it, it started raining friday night about 9:00. and by morning we had 6 inches of heavy thick snow!! It continued to snow until about noon! Luckily i had bought the needed snow gear the day before and we were prepared. this picture (above) is looking out from my parents backyard deck, i'm sure they love to see this!!

I've fallen again!!,HELP!!

Climbing the snow mountain!!

We were all so excited to play in the snow, Tyler had tons of fun, Hadlee tried but couldn't move very well she ended up on her face alot.!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Tyler!!!!

Tyler turned 3 on November 23. the day after thanksgiving. Tyler kind of had an extended birthday all weekend long. On Friday her actual birthday, we got a sitter for Hadlee, and Scott and I and Tyler went to see the BEE MOVIE, which was very good by the way. We went to the new theatre in Ogden, its a really neat theatre, they let you bring in your food, like whatever you order from surrounding restaurants or whatever. and the seats are all stadium style so like we were on the 2nd row from the bottom all the way on the side and it was fine. At this same place they have the jumping from a plane simulator, rock climbing walls, and the water surfing which scott LOVES! so its a fun place just to wander around and watch people do crazy stuff. Anyways lots of fun, then we waited until sunday to do the presents/birthday cake/ice cream thing. cause everyone was out of town, so all the family came over and gave tyler lots of presents. Tyler was set on this butterfly cake, it was a disaster. if you see this cupcake-pullapart molds in the store, dont buy them they dont work! we tried 2 different times and it all just stays in the mold no matter how long it cools or how much you greased it up before hand. pretty much we ended up with like a crust of the cake that i decorated like a butterfly with a hollow cake/ pile of crumbs underneath. i figured kids didn't care. anyways lots of fun!! the disaster butterfly cake!
the three cousins LOVED the princess fairy dressup dresses from my mom. and all coloring on the easel as well!

Thanksgiving..yummy yum yum

sorry no pictures for this event. I took the camera, put just never pulled it out. I didn't think to cause the other 50 people there all had cameras going like crazy! (I am sorry mom and dad! But im sure and i hope that one of your siblings will send you some pics!) We went to my moms side for thanksgiving, which is always quite an event with 12 siblings all who are married with lots o kids it can usually get pretty crazy, but this year they had it in a cultural hall in a church which was awesome! lots of room, a nursery to keep the kids out of our way, and of course lots of food!
I have a confession to make..i dont like blogging! WAIT hold on, before you shoot me like a turkey..i LOVE reading everyone elses blogs, just not creating mine. so i am sorry. i'm workin' on it.

Halloween..and my Issues with it!!

Carving pumpkins was lots of fun...its kind of weird living in the house i grew up in. Because it brings back random memories when I do things. Like carving pumpkins, I remembered all the times growing up doing that. I had to practically twist scotts arm to participate he tends to be a little ba-hum-bug when it comes to holidays. But he did get into it and enjoy it..hence the psycho flame haired skeleton pumpkin..that was suppossed to be Hadlees!!We did some other cooler bigger pumpkins but i forgot to take a picture of those..now they are all shriveled!!

The day before Halloween we had a neighborhood "trunk-r-treat" and then dinner afterward. This is lots of fun, its quick and easy. However I have a lot of memories of the good ol' fashion trick or treating to the doors. Well on the actual Halloween night i wasnt really up for doing the whole costume,chase the girls around. I figured they didn't know any different. so we stayed at home, we didnt get hardly any and the ones that did come were like 15 years old, or being driven around in a car!! Okay that is just ridiculous...it wasn't that cold, and its not like we were in the boonies. Its just sad what the world has come to. tyler enjoyed opening the door and handing out candy. I was surprised she didn't wonder why she wasn't the one doing the trick or treating. well i'm sure i wont be able to get away with that next year. Oh and if you cant tell Tyler is a PINK fairy princess.. all she cared is that she was pink...(whos daughter is she??) And Hadlee is a ladybug, she wouldn't keep her hood on!

Pumpkin Patch!

This pumpkin patch out is syracuse is so so much fun, they have all sorts of stuff to do. Huge slides built on top of hay bales, and an inflatable pumpkin that the kids go inside and jump in, animal trains(painted barrels to look like animals)a corn shooter, like the apple gun on rachels blog. and of course a corn maze and a hayride out to the pumpkin patch to pick out the pumpkins! I just realized that the girls have the same sweaters on that they did on the snowbasin pictures. Thats funny.. I swear we have more sweaters than those ones!!

Tyler and Kylee! cousins and so cute!! They are only 5 months apart!

Teisha me and the girls~oh and boy-Dylan!!

More snowbasin pics!

The girls frolicking in the mountains!!
Tylers first nature squat! I bet Grandma was so proud!!!

Snowbasin fun!

This was one of the last get togethers with Grandma before she left we went up to snowbasin when all the leaves were changing pretty colors and went on a little walk and ate lunch. The kids loved it! Lots of fun!

HELLO OUT THERE!!

Why hello! How is everyone? Well let me tell you of my struggles...do any of you out there ever try to upload a good handful of pictures to your blog using dial up?? EXTREMELY SLOW.. so slow in fact i have yet to be successful.. For some reason Qwest is at its capacity for internet service in this Layton neighborhood. so it will be a few months before it will be increased. so until then we are on this. so be patient I am working on it!!
Well here is a quick update on the Goodes. we were building a house in Morgan it was about 6 weeks from being done, when all the mortgage companys went haywire, and interest rates went haywire. We werent locked into our rate because the builder was carrying the "loan" until it was done and we closed. Anyways our mortgage payment increased dramatically and we didn't want to getourselves into that..About this same time my parents were looking for a renter for their Layton home while they took off the New Zealand for 15 months. So we are living there in Layton where laura (me) grew up. So until further notice that is where we are! I promise i will get some pictures up we have some really cute ones of the girls up at snow basin and the pumpkin patch. until later ...cya

We are alive!!

okay i am sorry, lets see my excuses this time around is still the traveling laptop, but now also our only camera is struggling, it still takes pictures but the lens is stuck in the out position and doesn't zoom in/out anymore its just broken so its just a pain to use it. Plus i have never been really good about takin pictures, sadly enough for my girls. BUT.......my parents are going to New Zealand, for 15 months and in a promise to my mom..and dad, i will do much better with posting pictures and all about what we are doing. they leave OCT 1 so stay tuned because starting then you all might see a lot more of us. ( I dont expect many people even look at this blog anymore..but if you do leave a comment so i know someone out there is even looking)

I just posted my first blog thingy. Isn't technology neat?! -Scott

Time for an update?

Okay, okay! I know and I am sorry its been a whole month. and its been an eventful month at that. Danny and Erin got married! Rachel and her family has been here visiting, we went to the zoo. And I totalled my car(yes it is the third car I have totalled, I don't want to hear it!) We were all fine in that by the way, Tyler still talks about the broken trees, and broken car, and her owies,(which were 2 little specks of blood, from the broken glass.) It is a miracle we weren't hurt worse though, it was pouring rain and I just hit a big ol' puddle of water and hydroplaned, spun around and smashed through a couple of trees.
Anyhow, until next time here are a couple of pictures until I say hello again! This is the best family picture we could get at the wedding. No smile from Hadlee but it'll do!!!


This completely speaks for itself!!! Tyler got a little grumpy when she felt forced to get in a family photo. I love this picture its so funny to me!!
Hadlee dissapointed us all a little, when she wasn't walking by the wedding and she was given plenty of notice! Hadlee is trying to crawl in her dress, which didn't work so well, and frustrated her terribly and made her mad!! after a few hours i got smart and tyed her whole dress up around her waist. Hadlee is a closet walker, she will walk all the way across the room if she thinks no one is watching!

Tyler and Aleah, They will be the best of friends some day but they aren't quite there yet! This is a good start though!!

The Zoo!! Tyler enjoyed her first day at the zoo, Scott and Teisha and there two kids came, and of course Rachel and her clan, and of course Grandma! we have done lots of fun things with everyone since Rachel has been visiting! We will miss her and her family.
