I forgot to blog, blog.

Holy cow life can really get crazy and you can end up with no time for blogging! Well good thing for all three of you it's Jazz season, all my babies are in bed and I get to blog! So we'll start with updates. Roger got done with all his hunts, yah whoo! He got a big honkin elk that he has been wanting his whole life so that was good, I geuss:) horses are good they once again have eaten off each others tails so they are lookin good. We have two hamsters roaming around(hopefully) that got out of there cages. Lovely. Sam is doing awesome as usual. Z is better than she ever has been so that is fabulous, Trace is turning into a man and I'm not gonna lie it's pretty tough to loss your little man everyone with a little fella take note, when they turn 9 they are way to cool for loves from mom or to even be nice to mom:( it's sad o know, but I sure love him and he is still very hilarious sometimes. Kaycee finally is liking school! Ya whoo! She met some friends that have just as much spitfire as her, very, very hard to believe but true. The twinnys are growing like weeds and are so much fun when they are happy and playing with each other. They love each other alot. They are both fast crawlers and stand up to everything. Ty's favorite sound right now is to growl back at you and he loves to jump, on your lapor the couch or anything that's bouncy. He is kinda mean,but sooooo cute, he bites everyone and everything and loves to pull hair laughing the whole time. Addi is doing so good to, she has tons of hair, she loves her binky,loves to smack her tongue and make a loud noise and she is nicer, only every once in a while does she try and get even with Ty. Ty has 6 teeth and Addi cut her first tooth a couple weeks ago and now she probably has 4 more coming her mouth looks sore. Anyhow life is great!!

Pets pets and more pets

Hey... My main squeeze keeps reminding me I haven't blogged for awhile so here goes. We have been trying to get some renters into our house this week which has been hard not becouse we can't find a renter but becouse there has been so many. It has been hard dealing with all the people that want it that can't have it... huge anxiety for me. I really, really, really hate for people to be disappointed. Oh well we finally got it all squared away today so maybe we won't have to worry about that anymore. Anyway Ty and I are just hangin out right now and he has been so funny today. He has been so whiney today but then as soon as you talk to him or try to play he starts this really hard laughing,crying at the same time thing,kinda funnyand wierd.Ty is starting to move a little more and Addi is cruising all over the place! Trace got a new chicken this week to replace the old one (hot wings that got takin out by the nieghbors dog) this one is about 6 weeks old and her name is cold wings,funny... Then we also got two new hamsters one for Sam and one for Kaycee. Sam sure has been tired the last two days but she swears the hamster isn't keeping her up all night, ya right. Kaycee loves hers alot to she carries him around all over the place and he is super mello, his name is mini (it was butterscotch for two days though) and Sams hamsters name is koda (he has a middle name but I have been sworn to secrecy as it is her crushes name:)) and Kenzie would like us to move to Florida cuz the only pet she wants is a dolphin...I'll see what I can do:) anyway that's what's going on around here!

So the babies and I came home early from camping yesterday,everyone else will be coming today. The kids had lots of fun playing with cousins, riding horses and 4 wheelers it was good. Addi is learning how to crawl which is so cute, she takes a few "steps" with her knees and gets so exited she stops to make sure someone is watching and then goes again. Ty use to be content to sit but now that he sees Addi go he wants to go to. He is just getting up on his knees and rocking, still ends up rolling where he wants to go. Well that's about all that's goin' on today so I'll talk to ya later!

So it's kinda funny going back and reading your old blogs. I am blogging on a iPhone which is a little crazy cuz you can only see about six words at a time so I have found tons of silly mistakes. Oh well. Anyhow today is Friday and Rog went up camping yesterday. I am really hoping has had some nice relaxing horse rides. He is not hunting this hunt which is a first in forever, he drew out on his mature bull tag that he has been putting in for at least 16 years so hopfully it will all work out for him. It is day 8 of the kids being back in school and Kaycee is still really worried about it. She crys every morning, it is really hard to leave her like that. The rest of the kids are all doing amazingly well. So I did a crazy thing last night, I thought it would be a good idea to take all the kids to shrek... By myself. Well shrek was not there anymore so they wanted to go see eclipse. I wasn't sure about that, I really wanted to see it before I took the kids, we really don't even watch pg-13's, well the ticket sellers convinced me that it was fine just a little scary at the end so we decided to go. Well it lasted 15 minutes for me. I think if we had went to shrek I would have made it longer. You really can't have a baby in a grown-up movie making ANY noise so Kaycee, Ty, Addi and me left. It was a bummer cuz I really wanted to see it. So today I am just getting ready to take them all camping, yaaaah whoooo..... Sure hope we don't freeze!

Our crazy week

Wow. It has been a little crazy around here. We ended up moving down to Highland. It was crazy becouse we decided to do it and two days later we were moving. I didn't really get a chance to say goodbye so it was wierd. We really felt like the kids needed to get down here for school. It is a really nice area, beautiful, and really wonderful people, it is a little slice of heaven.The kids all started school this week was probably good but also a little sad. It becomes very apparent they really are growing up. Sam going to school was really strange. I was so nervous for her, I remember junior high and it was scary! Well she is having fun and making friends and having fun. Kenz started 6th grade this year and that's crazy too. She thinks it will be good, she likes her teachers and has met a girl named Mckenzie which is fun. Trace is in 4th grade, that also is strange becouse it seriously seriously feels like I was dragging him to kindergarten kicking and screaming. Kaycee started 1st grade and this is another one of those big ajustments. I have always said 1st grade is harder on the kid and the mom than kindergarten. It is hard having her gone all day and she is trying to get use to it to. The babies are always getting big, always learning. Ty almost has his two top teeth which will make four.He likes to sit and whine he doesn't really want to figure out crawling yet he just wants to be picked up. He is really good at holding his bottle and feeding himself treats and crackers where Addi is rolling all over and always trying to crawl but then would way rather you hold her bottle and just likes to open her mouth like a little bird and have you put somthing in it. They are really cute. As the big kids all started school the fleeting thought came to my mind of what life would be like with out the babies it looks like me sitting on the beach with a piñacolata in hand reading a really good blog! Now that's funny. Nah, I will take this crazy life over that anyday!

Sam's first day of junior high..... By Sam

Well I started school yesterday and now the first day of school is over!(Now it's down to buiesness)Today I don't have school today,cuz they give the 7th graders a day alone so the 8th and 9th graders don't pick on the 7th graders!!!
Ok well after first period I had to go grab something from my locker and this girl was there so I thought we must have been locker buddies. I walk up to her and said I think we r locker buddies,she said no cuz I already have a locker buddy. So we walk to the office and they said they would fix that. So I went to a few classes and when I was walking into Spanish they called me to the office they gave me the right locker when I went back to Spanish she said I wasn't in her class so I walked back yo the office and they fixed everything!!! Ps I even locked my locker combo in there and I don't no it!!!
Other than all those things it was really fun hopefully I will still think that on the second time around!!! Well that was my first day!!! I'll keep u posted!!!

Moving is poopy

All about twinnies

So after our last little Kaycee was born we thought our family was complete. Well we were super wrong. So after long and hard prayer and trying to have a baby we were blessed with two. I now have a huge amount of compassion for anyone who carries double and more than that? I can't even imagine. The babies were born at 36 1/2 weeks on December 26th. Ty weighed 5 lb 12 oz and Addi weighed 6 lb 7 oz. Both did wonderful. We all came home on the 28th. They were both very colicy and niether baby could handle lactose. When Ty was 2 months old he got a form of rsv and was hospitalized for 5 days. That was so hard having them split up. I missed Addi tons and tons. Roger was out of town the whole time to! Huge thanks to our Mom's who made it all work. Anyhow there health is better, Ty still has asthma and they are spoiled rotten so they always have to be held:). They started rolling late, Ty at about 5 1/2 months and Addi at about 6 months. Ty got his first tooth on July 18th and they second a few days later. Addi doesn't have any yet. They both sit up and can move quite a bit but no crawling yet, yah whoooooo! Addi weighs about 22 lbs(ya she's pretty chunky) and Ty weighs about 18. Very fun but more work than you can imagine(unless you have twins or more).

Sam's summer

As most of you no our house is up for sale so our summer has been kinda hectic.But it has been fun,we have been to Idaho there we went to the lake,picked raspberries,went to dinner in montpiller,and walk to the gas station!!!
We have also been swiming. So we have had a pretty fun summer!!!
I start school on the 25 and I will be going to middle school! So hopefully I have a good time. Well thanks to my aunt Christen for making this blog!

Tired of myself

Well the craziest thing happened yesterday. We all got up and did all the normal Monday jobs and then we were going to go run some errands. I got all the kids buckled up and couldn't find my wallet. I started to panick looking everwhere in the car and everywhere in the house. It was afterall just last week that I lost my debt card and drivers license! At this point I can not even stand myself. I am so sick of losing stuff and just being me. Well I then remember the last time having it was at Target on Saturday, of course I called them and of course they don't have it. I was pretty emotional as I got in the car to leave. Well a couple minutes into the ride Trace says "Mom, we really messed up. We forgot to say a prayer." Well I had done alot of begging and pleading in my head but maybe it wasn't enough. I pulled over right there and Trace gave a wonderful prayer. It had only been a few minutes and the phone rang. It was Target! They had found my wallet! It was so amazing. I felt such a warm wonderful feeling as I realized all over again how much Heavenly Father loves us. My wallet was not a big deal to him but it was causing me such heartache that he took that away from me. Such a wonderful thing!
I just don't want our family to ever forget these wonderful faith building experiances.

My first blog

Hello! Well big thanks to my wonderful sister christen who hooked me up in the world of blogging. Life is crazy here at the Goodwin ranch we have six wonderful kids Sam is 12 Kenzee is 11 Trace is 9 Kaycee is 6 and our latest additions are Ty and Addison that are seven months old. The twins have turned our world upside down(mostly in a good way) we truley feel so blessed to have each one of them. It is my hope that everyone in our family will come on this blog and give us a peek into their world. Rog is my main sqeeze who I do love like crazy his loves are his family, his horses, hunting, and fishing to name a few. As for me I am completly absorbed in family life but I am going to try super hard to figure out what else I like alot. Today is Sunday so we went to church and it was so amazing cuz we made it through all three hours with the babies! That is a very rare occasion! We usually have to bale somewhere along the way. If Rog would have had the keys he would have no doupt. I geuss I had the easy baby today. Anyhow after that we came home had a yummy dinner and then Rog and I went to visit our horses, well when we got ther I relized I was super mad at our little one year old horse maverick becouse the day before Trace and his father went to the arena decided it was a good idea to have Trace sit on Maverick (WHAT!!!) and of course the horse goes nuts cuz he is an untrained mustang!!! And after holding on for dear life for as long as he could he goes flying off the back landing right on his back and head and elbows! What a disaster. Anyway I think he is recovering other than some scrapes and bruises. Everyone invoved learned a good lesson. Right? I hope so. Well I better get started on the bed time ritual!
