farmer's market

We have loved having so many Manns in Utah this week and have missed those who weren't here. I took these shots on our trip to the farmer's market in Salt Lake City last weekend. Click on them to enlarge and fully appreciate how cute these kids are. Have a great weekend!

no guy's it's cool...it's short for Russbugovian!

Just been thinking about Ryan lately and felt like posting some old pictures. Guys, he's coming home in a few months. That went by way fast! Evan and I are getting super excited! How funny that he gets to meet 3 new babies when he gets home!!!

Tooo Cute!

I think that is hilarious. Ruby is so sweet, and Jeffrey's cheekies are to die for. I can't wait to see you guys this weekend. Love you all.

Princess Dookal

We put together our own family blog, so you can all go and check that out. Since no one else is posting I feel like I should. I am one of those people that when there is a long awkward pause in the conversation, I feel like I need to fill it up. The Southwest Godsey Clan is enjoying the lazy days of summer. We got out the little pool today and Roo and JD got in to cool off. Ruby, ever the daredevil (prodded on by Mom), got the slide and put it into the pool and was sliding down into the water. Then she started naming the moves. She dubbed the tummy slide "the Dookal" So I said to her "nice Dookal" She told me not to call it that and so naturally I was puzzled and asked why. She informed me that I needed to call it the "Princess Dookal" Ah yes, of course. We wouldn't want to call it just plain old Dookal. We gotta pretty it up and call it the Princess Dookal. I stand corrected by the head Princess of the Princess Police.

Happy 4th

Happy 4th of July everybody. Hope you have all had a great day. Personally I love fireworks, so I think it's a marvelous holiday. I am also grateful for this great nation and glad we have a day to reflect on the blessings of living in this divinely designed democracy.

A little bit about me

Alright, I don't have cute children to post on this website, but I am still pretty cute right? This last Friday I went to a costume party at my friend Michael and Elenor's house. We were all supposed to dress up as people from history. I dressed up as Isadora Duncan, the mother of modern dance. Michael's brother made these amazing homemade pizzas and banana pudding with digestive crackers in it, a recipe he got from the magnolia bakery. We played crochet and then watched Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure (very appropriate, don't you think?) All together a very fun night.

Jemez Falls

We went camping Friday night at Jemez falls. It was just for one night with some friends from our ward, but we had a great time. I love camping and wish we could have stayed longer. One night is measly compared to the solid week at Bass. You just barely get the tent up and you are already taking it down again. Ruby loves sleeping in the tent and for the first time slept in her own sleeping bag. Family camping, there's nothing like it!

Boys, Boys, Little Boys

We are a wonderful family full of boys. Congrats Camila and Jason. Life will be fun and full of surprises with 2 little boys. I love the pictures of Sullivan and the pony, how adorable. He is such a grown up big boy. We miss you guys and can't wait to see you in a few weeks.
