Veterans Day

My family went out the desert to ride quads and dirt bikes for Veterans day. Of course Lane loved every minute of it. Poor Casey had to stay home to finish home work, but we had a moment of silence in his behalf. And we couldn't of gone to the desert without going to Mi Amigos after for dinner! We had alot of fun, plus the weather was awesome. We didn't even need jackets. I love Arizona. grandpa Lindblom, uncle Craig and Lane

Chick or Treat !

Last year on Halloween I was 8 1/2 months pregnant and ready to pop at any given minute, so this year was a whole lot more enjoyable. Lane was so much fun to dress up and was such a good sport to wear his costume even though he was sweating to death in it. I think we stripped him down about 3 times. I even had a bonus this year because Casey actually "dressed up" which he normally refuses to do. Deep down inside I know he thinks its fun.


I know I was the boring one, but I have dressed up all the other years. We enjoyed going to our parents houses, eating taco soup, drinking home made rootbeer, dry ice bombs (courtesy of Casey's dad) and having all the candy you want! Happy Halloween!

Oh what a night!

The past few days Lane has been a little under the weather. The first day he was running a fever but seemed to be ok. Next day, still has a fever, so that night I decide to take him into the doctor just to make sure he wasn't starting anything. So around eight o'clock Casey and I take him down to twighlight hours at our pediatricians office which is first come first serve. Lane fell asleep on the way so Casey stays in the car while I check in. I go back out to the car to tell Casey how long it will take and I can hear all the air going out of my back tire. No big deal right? Just change it and were done. Wrong. I guess the lug nuts on my tires are a different shape and you have to a have a certain kind of jack to take them off and we didn't have one. So to make a long story short ,we have to call triple A to tow my car and they couldn't come till 9:30 which turned into 10. In the mean time my father in law came to our rescue and picked up Lane and Casey to take them home so Lane could go to bed. I had to stay because our triple A card is in my name and I had to be there. My father in law comes back to pick me up to go back to their house so I can borrow a car. My mother in law drives back with me so I won't be alone. Tow truck comes, loads up my car then I take my mother in law back home and I arrive at home around eleven. The good thing is, Lane is ok and just has a little virus and will be good as new in 3-5 days.

Schnepf Farms

This was my first time going to Schnepf Farms and it was so much fun! I don't know why I had never been before. I think I just thought it was a place to pick pumpkins and they had a haunted house during October and that was it, but I was way wrong. There were so many fun activities to do and the price is great. Lane's favorite was playing in the pumpkin patch. He played with the pumpkins for a good twenty minutes. I will definitely be going back every year! Us with my twin Stephanie and her husband Travis

Family Fun

One of my very organized cousins, Leah, decided to get together all of the Udall girl relatives to go out to dinner after the RS Broadcast on Saturday. As you can see we had a great turn out. BJ's restaurant had no idea what was in store for them that night. Nothing is better than having such a big wonderful family to spend time with.

Tamale Day

It is a Goodman tradition to make green corn tamales every year. Saturday was the big day, we made 50 dozen yummy tamales! It took from 6 in the morning till about 6 at night. It was fun being with the family and catching up with Breanna who came down
from Utah for the weekend.

Unfortunately summer is going to be over soon so we have been trying to swim as much as possible. Lane loves swimming with his dad and going down the slide.

Life Saver

One of Lanes favorite things is this dvd called " A Day at Old McDonalds Farm" by Kidsongs. Kidsongs has been around for forever, I used to watch them growing up. It is a dvd filled with the cutest sing-along songs for children of all ages. Each dvd has a theme to it and there are ton's to choose from like "Cars, Boats, Trains & Planes" (great for boys) or my favorite was " A day at the amusement park". I order mine off of amazon and the best part is that they are CHEAP! I am talking the most expensive I have seen was $10. Lane was hooked on them at 7 months. It is so nice for me because I can put it on and know I have at least half an hour to do what ever. He is so cute, he just sits on his Mator toy and dances along with the kids. They can be kind of cheesy but that's what makes them good!

Our first blog!

Thanks Brooke for helping me start our blog! I feel like I am up with the rest of the world now, and it only took me the whole day to learn. Obviously by the look on your face, you are ready for me to leave your house. I owe you big time!

Lane waiting for me to finish. What a good sport. Brody and Ridge kept him busy and taught him big boy things!
