We were at a Mexican restaurant when Ross thought it would be funny to give Luke a taste of the very spicy salsa. He wanted to see the sad reaction. We were a bit surprised when instead of cries, we got giggles and a bowl licking. To say he liked it would be an understatement. Since this was Daddy's brilliant idea, he was put on diaper duty the next day.<br />

Spicy enough to need some water, but not enough to stop him from going back for more. Kids are fun.<br />

The Kindergarten had a job fair where they were to make a poster detailing some information about the career they want when they grow up. Sara did hers on being an artist. She used her skills to decorate her poster, and I love the way she dressed up. The creative little thing makes our lives so beautiful and bright.<br />

We get to see more of Grandma Goodman now than we ever have. She makes trips down here quite often to help Rex. Every time she does, we try to get up there to see her, or we take the chance to take to the airport. The kids love getting more time with her. She is such a fun and loving grandma.Ross & Amanda Goodman- but mostly Amanda :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02597257765841792770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27671057.post-15068390747314362372014-08-06T10:08:00.000-06:002014-08-06T10:08:28.889-06:00A REAL FIRE TRUCK!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We were leaving Zupas one night when Jack got to live out one of his dreams. I fire broke out at the In'N'Out, and he got to watch as a REAL FIRE TRUCK rolled in to put it out. He just kept jumping and screaming, "This is AMAZING!"

Every Friday, the girls get out of school early. We use these days to have a fun family adventure. On this day in February, the weather was shockingly nice, and the kids all wanted to have a picnic. We got one of Emma's Book It! pizzas, and the rest of us enjoyed some Panda Express. It was lovely. I love these annual Utah early spring fake-outs. I always know the snow will return, but it's nice to have a chance to remember what the sun looks like for a bit.<br />

Emma's primary teachers gave her a gift card to Farr's Ice Cream for Christmas. It took us until January to finally use it. We headed there for FHE one night and had a lovely time.<br />

Whenever someone is sick in our house, Dr. Leo makes sure he is there with his healing snuggles and purrs. Every time. His bedside manner is impeccable, and I swear loving on him actually lessens pain and lowers fevers.

After hosting Grandma Goodman on Valentine's Day and taking her to the airport the next day, we headed home to make some treats for our ward Valentine's Dance. This was Ross's brain child, and it turned out so well. The Sorenson's brought their DJ stuff, the RS made a little craft corner for the kids, the wives of the bishopric put together a little photo booth, and we had a grand time with all our friends in the ward and neighborhood. So simple, but so fun. I love where we live.<br />

Miss Emma wanted to participate in an after-school cheer program. She had a lot of fun and learned a lot of new things. She was chosen as one of the stunt girls, and she did a great job. It was fun to see her cute little smile and her hip popping out. This is definitely something she will do again next year.<br />

Jeni battled breast cancer three times before it finally took her in the end. After her first round, she was very concerned about the stress the situation was putting on her children. She did some research to see if there were any programs that could help them work through some of their fears and emotions. BYU's Camp Kesem was the answer to her prayers. It is an amazing camp that is designed to help children whose parents have or have had cancer.<br />
<br />
When the final diagnosis was given, Jeni made a request that in lieu of flowers, people would donate money to Camp Kesem instead.<br />
<br />
The kids and I decided to make some items to sell so that we could raise some money for Camp Kesem. These little crafts, and the suckers helped them make about $35 to send to the camp. The people in our area were amazing to help my kids feel like they were making a difference. They just lit up whenever people would purchase their pictures and the candy they had made.<br />

It was a really sweet moment that has been duplicated many times over now.

<br />Ross & Amanda Goodman- but mostly Amanda :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02597257765841792770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27671057.post-23651900482769058772014-07-24T13:51:00.001-06:002014-07-24T13:54:01.710-06:00God Is a Smart DudeFor a few weeks before the funeral, I had been experiencing some pretty severe pains in my abdomen and back. I thought it was from kidney stones, so I had been doing some things to help with that. On the way home from the funeral, I got a severe pain that felt like someone had just punched me in the back. Ross offered to take me to the hospital, but I told him I just needed to get home and rest and get some fluids.<br />
<br />
I should have listened to him.<br />
<br />
When I got home, I started to bleed. A lot. I got really dizzy and was pretty scared, and the pain started intensifying a lot.<br />
<br />
Ross quickly called a sitter, and we headed to the ER. Some IV fluids helped me not feel as dizzy, and laying with my feet up controlled the bleeding a bit, so I was deemed as non-emergent as was sent home with the new that there was a strange mass in my uterus causing the bleeding, but they couldn't do anything else for me at the time. I was just to rest and follow up with my OB. Frustrating and totally scary. Keep in mind that I had JUST got home from burying my sister-in-law who had died of cancer. The term 'strange mass' had me panicking, and I was furious that they wouldn't help me further.<br />
<br />
The next morning, Ross and I were up early to get in touch with my OB. Turns out there was some kind of conference, and more than half of the OBs in the area were out of town. We finally tracked down one who had an opening for the next day, but it took hours of phone calls and pleading. I was still bleeding and was constantly battling vertigo and pain. Frustrating.<br />
<br />
I got a sitter for the kids the next day, and Ross met me at the OB office. As soon as the doctor put the ultrasound wand on my belly, he said I needed surgery. I had a giant polyp that was pulling away from the uterus wall and was causing some significant tearing. He was pretty upset I had been sent home. We were glad to have some validation. My surgery was scheduled for the next morning, and everything went well. I was sent home with instructions to take it easy.<br />
<br />
That wasn't too hard, since I went home with no bleeding, but a nice new case of Strep throat. Once I got some antibiotics for that from the Instacare a couple of days later, I was finally able to feel like myself again.<br />
<br />
When I started to recover, I was surprised to see how good it felt. I had no idea how sick I was. This had been coming on for a while, and it has been gradually wearing on me. To feel so good again was amazing.<br />
<br />
Now, when all of this was going down, I was pretty mad at God. I mean really? Didn't he think we had been through enough already without this kind of stress taking us down? As I was yelling at him about this one day, he took some time to explain it all to me.<br />
<br />
We had been doing everything we could to support and help Rex and his family before and right after Jeni's death. God knew that this condition was happening within me, but He allowed me to be blissfully ignorant so that I could be there for them in the small ways I was. It wasn't until AFTER the viewings and the funeral that it was brought to my attention.<br />
<br />
Not only had God allowed me to serve in the tiny ways I did, but He also gave me a good way to distract myself from the sadness of it all when there was no longer anything I could do for them. Judy was staying with them, so I knew they were well tended to, and I knew they would need some time to adjust without extra bodies in their way for the next little bit. Without this distraction, I may have gone crazy.<br />

Plus, I got some healing snuggles from this guy. He never left my side while I was sick, although he is a bit of a pillow hog...<br />

It was hard, and I wish I had more to say about my feelings. It was just hard. I was so glad that she was at peace, but the pain her death brought her family was rough mostly because there was nothing at all I could do about it.<br />
<br />
I ended up staying in the hall with Luke for most of it because for some reason, two year old little boys don't like to sit still and be quiet. Cole and Lucy would join me in the hall from time to time, and we would chat, laugh, and hug. I was glad to see them shift off some of the weight of the circumstance, and I hope they didn't ever take that diversion as me not taking the situation seriously. Goodness, I love those kids.<br />
<br />
Monday was the funeral. All of the nieces and nephews sang 'I Am a Child of God' and I led them. Ross was one of the pall bearers. Her family gave some amazing speeches about her life, who she is, and why we are all so blessed to have had her in our lives. She is so amazing. I miss her.<br />
<br />
After the funeral, we headed to the cemetery. The ground was covered in snow, but the sun was shining. So fitting. The site dedication was lovely and brought the Spirit in so strong. Judy brought balloons with Pink ribbons on them for us to let go and watch fly off into the sky. It was beautiful.<br />
<br />
We then headed back to the church for the luncheon, which was amazing. It always feels strange to laugh or smile after something like this, but there is something about a good meal that can make this possible, and I am glad. It was what we needed, and furthermore, it is what Jeni would have wanted.<br />

We hugged everyone goodbye, and left with heavy hearts. We so wanted to do more for Rex and his children, but we knew our presence was more of a burden than a help. I haven't stopped praying for them since that day. Every family prayer includes them, and all of my personal prayers. They are strong and amazing, and I love them a lot.<br />

When the news of Jeni's passing got out, we were comforted and supported by some amazing people who really understand the importance of bearing one another's burdens, mourning with those that mourn, and comforting those that stand in need of comfort.<br />
<br />
The flowers above were brought to me by the Young Women's presidency. There were 3 flowers- one for each of Jeni's children. They knew that my concern at the time was for them and how to help them.<br />

At her funeral, a room full of grown adults mourned her loss and celebrated her life with popsicles. My sweet friend came to share comfort with us in her own personal and lovely way. I am so blessed.</span> </span><br />

My kids chose to color some Valentines and make some decorations to sell. They donated all of that money to Camp Kesem- a camp for children whose parents have had cancer. I had many lovely friends come by and purchase items to show their love and support.<br />

My friend Paulette brought these pumpkin bars with PINK frosting. She knew how much I love them, and wanted to offer some sugary comfort in a unique way.<br />

This is honestly just a small sampling of all the ways we were served and blessed during this time. There is so much goodness in this world, and for that I am so grateful.Ross & Amanda Goodman- but mostly Amanda :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02597257765841792770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27671057.post-70593392965789589472014-07-24T13:05:00.001-06:002014-07-24T13:05:18.820-06:00January 23, 2014Shortly after Ross left for work on this day, he called me to let me know that Rex had just contacted him to tell him about Jeni's passing earlier that morning. She passed away quietly in her sleep. That peaceful release from her pain-filled body was what we had been praying for her to experience, but it still came with a heavy push of pain and heart-sickness.<br />
<br />
Once I mopped up my first outburst of tears, I told the girls that they didn't have to get ready for school. I explained the news, and we hugged while they took it all in. We had a quiet day at home trying to find ways to give quiet moments of service in Jeni's name.<br />
<br />
I got a reminder call that I had a dental appointment in SLC that day, and I was so relieved to have a good excuse to meet Ross for lunch and have him come home early. It was during our lunch that the first signs of some medical issues started to pop up, but I shook them off as merely relating to the emotional stress we were all going through.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the Facebook Statuses that marked this day in Jeni's honor as the news began to spread:<br />

Jeni is so loved and so missed. She left a real mark on this world, and her legacy of faith, love, endurance, work, kindness, and so many other things remains strong and intact.</div>
<br />Ross & Amanda Goodman- but mostly Amanda :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02597257765841792770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27671057.post-27648733205828522432014-07-24T12:22:00.001-06:002014-07-24T12:22:41.780-06:00My Gospel Doctrine CallingI hit a moment in my life back in 2012 where I was really down. I have bouts of depression hit at random times, but this one felt a bit different. After some self-reflection, I realized that I had been slipping in my scripture study.<br />
<br />
I have always been very good about reading scriptures, and I was still in a daily habit of reading scriptures, but there was no way my habit could be considered a true study. In no way could my two chapters a day be called feasting upon the word.<br />
<br />
This realization hit me like a ton of bricks, and I prayed right then and there to regain my former thirst for knowledge and joy in scripture study.<br />
<br />
I bear witness that God hears and answers prayers. God also has a sense of humor.<br />
<br />
The very next day I was pulled into the Bishop's office and called to be the new Gospel Doctrine teacher. This was not what I was expecting, and I was honestly quite terrified. The truth is that I had good reason to be.<br />
<br />
My very first lesson was something of a baptism by fire. The lesson was about pride and about how coming unto Christ requires us to let go of pride and replace it with love and humility. Now, I had been admonished to keep my lesson materials to the scriptures and manual, but while preparing this lesson, the Spirit was adamant that I add in some references from The Last Battle- the last book from the Narnia series. There is a moment in the book where some dwarves are placed in a shed that is really a portal to a paradise of Aslan. Despite their amazing surroundings, the dwarves are full of hatred and pride, and all they see is the filthy shed and darkness all around them. I compared this to our perspectives of our situations and the importance of letting go of our own ideas and embracing the path of Christ.<br />
<br />
I think it went over really well. It was a good analogy, because C.S. Lewis is rather wise. That was not the main reason for me to read through the book, however. In my search for the right section, I was able to get a good reminder of many different sections of the book, which I really love. Thank goodness for this, because one of those other excerpts helped me in a pretty significant way.<br />
<br />
At one point in the lesson, a woman in the back, who was wearing a burqa, declared very loudly that she did not believe in Christ and felt no reason that this lack of belief should be indicative of pride on her part.<br />
<br />
Yikes! As I sat there listening to her, I could feel the tension in the room rise. Things got tangibly stifling, and I had no idea how to respond to this bizarre and unexpected turn of events. I just let her keep talking and BEGGED the Spirit to tell me what to do. Finally, it came.<br />
<br />
There is another portion of that book that discusses a soldier of a Pagan God who was brought into the presence of Aslan in the Paradise. The soldier was a good man, but he was confused as to why Aslan was allowing him to be a part of the beautiful surroundings all around him when he had spent his whole life serving another master. Aslan told this stalwart man that all of his good works for another God had only taught him humility and faith in a higher being. The Christ-figure lion told the man that everything he had done to help Tash, his other god, would be credited to him for the good now that he knew the truth.<br />
<br />
I tried my best to explain this portion to this woman, and told her that I was sure her devotion would only help her in this life and the next. I felt a burning in my chest that told me I had done well. The tension had been lifted a bit, and the woman smiled as she sat down. I was shaking and had silent tears pouring from my face. It was so intense, and I was so overcome with how God had prepared me to handle this very surprising event. As I saw other hands start to rise to make comments, I quickly changed to the next section.<br />
<br />
After church that day, I RAN to the Bishop's office to get set apart. I had a feeling that was just the beginning of my awkward encounters, and I knew I needed some priesthood help to back me up. That moment of the non-believer was just the first of MANY awkward moments and combative statements from class members. Each time I was able to diffuse the situation and make sure that no false doctrine was ever able to stand without some firm correction from me.<br />
<br />
I love preparing lessons. I love collecting quotes an scriptures and combining them to make a point. I love to try and take the ideas we are taught all the time and find a new angle from which to attack things.<br />
<br />
I do NOT love presenting these lessons. I do NOT love opening up chances for people to make comments that have the potential to drain the Spirit from the room. I do NOT love shaking and flop sweating in front of the whole ward. I did NOT love this calling. It was hard. So very hard. <br />
<br />
I gained a lot from this calling, and I feel like I did a good job of it, but I was so ready to be done with it. I prayed for months to be released. Just after Christmas, I gave a lesson that centered around The Living Christ document. It was a good lesson. That might sound a bit arrogant, but I was really guided by the Spirit the entire time I was preparing the lesson. I knew just what to share and was explicitly shown what the ward members needed to hear. It was a really beautiful thing to be a part of, and I was grateful for it.<br />
<br />
After this lesson, a man I didn't recognize, who had made a few comments during the lesson, came up to me. I figured he was visiting family, as it was the Christmas season. He introduced himself as the Stake Sunday School President. He told me that my lesson was the best he had ever been a part of, and he asked if I would be willing to be part of training other Sunday School teachers.<br />
<br />
I was flattered by these statements, but I hung my head as he walked away because I felt like this meant that I would never be released from this calling that was so burdensome to me. I prayed all through Relief Society about the situation, and finally told the Lord that I would continue to serve and teach if that is what He wanted from me.<br />
<br />
Later that day, Brother Thompson from the Bishopric came over and offered me a calling in the Young Women's program. I was grinning from ear to ear, and as he left, I sat down and wept with relief and excitement. Turns out, all I had to do was submit to the Lord's will, and He was ready to give me the blessings I had been praying for.Ross & Amanda Goodman- but mostly Amanda :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02597257765841792770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27671057.post-42657384376516577092014-07-24T11:36:00.002-06:002014-07-24T11:36:57.684-06:00YM and YW Dance Activity<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The first Combined YM/YW activity I helped with was a dance instruction night. It was a lot of fun. I loved seeing them try to stay as far away from their partners as possible. Ah, to be young and awkward again. You know, instead of being pretty old and awkward...<br />

Ross had heard about the Car Show and really wanted to go see it. When he heard that kids got in free on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we decided to head on down. When I told the kids that we were going to see some cars in the same place they had the Festival of Trees, they got really excited about seeing Santa at the Festival of Cars. Thankfully, they still had a lot of fun despite the lack of Christmas cheer.<br />

We stopped at Pier 49 Pizza first, and the boys enjoyed some PINK lemonade.<br />

Emma gets to bring her school library books home if she wants. Every now and then, she brings home cookbooks. When she does this, I let her pick one recipe for us to try. This time she wanted to try this Saucy Orange Delight Cake. It fell a bit in the middle since she kept checking it, but it turned out pretty yummy.<br />

I know it is pretty cliche, but I started the New Year with a goal to get healthier. Note- my goal was to get HEALTHY and not SKINNY. I think this has been my problem in earlier goals of this nature. Right now I am tired of caring what I LOOK like and am far more concerned with what I FEEL like. I want to get stronger, and healthier, and more full of energy so that I can keep up with my kids and give them a good example of health and wellness to follow.<br />
<br />
I actually like that I am writing about this 7 months after it began because it makes me more proud to say that I am still doing this. While I am not tracking things like I was in this image since the initial challenge ended, I am still exercising and trying to eat healthier. I have taken weeks off of clean eating from time to time, but for the most part, I am healthier, stronger, and leaner now than I was at the beginning of the year.<br />
<br />
I have only lost 20 pounds, and I would love to be able to lose another 20, but I am trying to not focus on that and rather focus on the fact that at the beginning of the year I couldn't do a sit-up without it making my C-Section area ache. I couldn't run a mile without my asthma kicking in and making life hard. I couldn't lift more than 5 pounds for bicep curls and lateral raises.<br />
<br />
Last night I did a mile run as my workout warm-up, and I finished it in 8 minutes without ever stopping to walk. Last night I did 120 sit-ups. I had to use a weight to help me for the last 60, but I did them all. The day before last night I did 45 Clean lifts with a 45 pound weight, and the last 3 reps with 55. I am grateful to my friend Gina for getting me started on this path of wellness. I feel great, and I hope that continues.Ross & Amanda Goodman- but mostly Amanda :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02597257765841792770noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27671057.post-19382365647879798192014-07-24T11:01:00.000-06:002014-07-24T11:01:01.945-06:00Ice Cream Reset Button<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We were having a terrible, horrible, very bad, no good kind of day, and decided to perk things up with some ice cream. It helped, as you can see. Sometimes you just have to re-start your day. Our reset button comes in different forms, but this one was pretty effective.<br />

We started out the new year by having Dana watch the kids overnight so Ross and I could enjoy some time alone together. We went to Tepanyaki for dinner which was a first Ross. I had been once before about 9 years ago. It was a lot of fun!<br />
