Happy Birthday Kenny

Today is Kenny's birthday so I would like to post a few things about him. When he was a little kid he liked to go out frogging in the swamps with the Child's and the Coon's. He is always telling me stories from his youth about how much freedom he had. Or thinks he had. He is way into motorcycles! When he was sixteen he was hit by a car while riding his motorcycle. The accident broke his leg and he was in a cast for I think about eight or nine months. Seeing as how he re-broke it playing ward basketball. He used to ride his motorcycle to school and even rode it with his cast on. He's a crazy one. He is what my mom would call a water baby. He loves water. We spent our honeymoon at Bear lake. This summer we went boating a lot with my best friend Jan and her family where Kenny learned how to wake board. He is pretty good and he really loves it. He is really strong which is why I think he's so good at it. His first attempt to get up was pretty bad because Keith didn't quite explain what he was supposed to do so when the boat started going Kenny was trying to pull himself up. All I remember of that is Keith turning around and saying to me "He is really strong! I can feel him pulling my boat!"  He started dating me in high school during his senior year. Lucky him! Our first date was to the Christmas dance at the capitol building. I asked him. He's been stuck with me ever since. He went to diesel school in Laramie, Wyoming for a year. The hardest year of my life! He got a job as soon as he finished school at Prime Inc. Where luckily he is still employed. He is great with kids. All my nieces and nephews seem to just love him. I love when Ethan asks where uncle Kenny is. He married me on July 12, 2007. And we had our bouncing baby boy Colton Scott Goudy on February 5, 2009. Kenny is such a great father to him. I didn't ever change a diaper until Colton was two weeks old and Kenny had to go back to work :) On May 2, 2009 we were sealed together as an eternal family. His whole life now seems to revolve around his family. I love him so much and still can't believe how lucky I am that I caught him. Happy Birthday my love!!!

 

Merry Christmas

Our Christmas was full of good food, great family, and wonderful gifts. We had a very Merry Christmas at the Goudy house. Colton woke up at 2:30am and would not go back to sleep. So we got up and opened our presents. It was so much fun watching Colton playing with every new thing that was opened. He stayed up playing until around 4:00am when mommy and daddy decided they wanted to go back to sleep. After another 4 hours of sleep we got up and headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Goudy's house where we were spoiled rotten! We got to go see Grammy and Poppy and see all their presents. And Poppy helped Colton try to figure out how to go down the stairs. We had lots of fun being with our family. I wish everyone else had a great Christmas this year.

 

 

 

 

The Lights At Temple Square

For FHE we went with the Townsends to see the lights at temple square. It was a beautiful evening. We had a great time. Other than in the parking lot when we first arrived. :)

 

 

 

 

Colton and Santa

Surprise in the Dishwasher

I had finally put Colton down for a nap.So I figured I would do some cleaning. So here I was, trying to be a good housewife and clean my kitchen. I needed to unload the dishwasher so that I could reload. I had a lot of dishes I needed to clean. So when I open my dishwasher I almost screamed out loud. For there in the bottom of my dishwasher was a big fat brown mouse!!!! How the heck it got in there? I am still trying to figure it out. I automatically started calling "kitty, kitty, kitty" as quietly as I could. Jynx of course took his sweet time to saunter into the kitchen with a look on his face that said "I only came in here so you would shut up". But as soon as he saw that mouse he turned into a killing machine. He caught it pretty quickly. I have never seen my big cat move so fast. So right after he catches it he starts to take it to my bedroom. So I start off after him and try to pick him up. I do not want a mouse in my bedroom. So he lets it go. It runs right at me and I start screaming. So he catches it again and then lets it go so he can chase it. And it runs into my spare bedroom. I couldn't believe that he lost it. Stupid cat! So I had to go in there and clean up all the junk that was in there. But I guess it's good that I finally cleaned that room. I had been meaning to for about a month. I was still pretty angry at my cat for letting that mouse go and was having a really hard time picking things up. Certain that a mouse was going to run at me. After the room was straightened I couldn't get Jynx to come out so we just let him stay in there. We had to keep the door open. Fortunately Jynx did get it again. The unfortunate event was that I had to clean up the bloody mess on my carpet.  Anyway the only reason I decided to post this is because it has been the most action we've seen at our house for a while. And because I usually only post about Colton. So here is a post where I only mentioned him twice.

Scrapbook

So for the past few weeks in my spare time and sometimes all day on my weekends I have been scrapbooking. Trying my hardest to finally catch up with what I wanted to do. I wanted to catch up on 2009 and also do a couple of pages for Colton's baby book. I also wanted to scrapbook my wedding day. I'm not sure what to do with my time now. But I wanted to show a couple of my favorite pages. They look way better in person so feel free to stop by and check it out. Plus I didn't put all my good pages on here.
