This is good!

We love you Liisa!

William John!

Steve has been working on a logo for us. We are going to get a banner made to put up when we perform at the market or other places. My dad said we need one and he is the brains behind it...as well as the helping us get it financially :) We are stuck on a motto though. Any ideas? Something short and sweet. The Goldman Family has no motto...how sad! HA Well, the kids are still doing great anyway, motto or not! 'SMILE'. The twins are working on a new song, and Anna is getting better and better on that banjo. Cassie is still learning from Alex, he is an awesome teacher. He just needs more time. He's so busy (in a great way) with Omnibus. Collin of course is always getting better without practicing much...stinker.

"The Incredible Will" William is so full of life, a joy and a blessing to our whole family! Yesterday the midwife came over for my checkup. He ran in and told Steve the baby lady is here. He is very excited to see the new baby (seems like forever away but I know it will come sometime). Will said a few day ago, when the baby comes I will share my toys and teach it play with me. How sweet huh. It will be awesome to see all the kids with a new baby.
It has been sooooo long....4 years! Crazy!

P.S The appointment went great with the midwife...but she was bad and did not tell me I was having twins. Well, can't win them all! HA! Baby is growing and we are praising God for the blessing!! Everyone is excited! Just waiting.....and waiting.....and waiting..... :)

Anna and Murrren

Just a cute picture of Anna and Murren. I am not sure who took it. But that was the day my camera was missing! The girls found it a few days ago in their playhouse. Gotta love them!! I do!! Look real close and see Anna has a snake in her hands. Does the picture still look cute HA! It was a little snake.

God has been awesome to our family, as always. We are blessed and healthy. We are all looking forward to Thanksgiving and the Troy ANDERSON family coming down!!!!! Yipppeee!

Happy B-day Emma

Even all muddy, messy and wet she is absolutely beautiful!! Happy Birthday Emma the Goldman Family loves you VERY MUCH!!!

Barn Dance

We had a great time at the speech club barn dance last night! It was wonderful to see the kids dance and smile and enjoy themselves. I got to dance with Steve and William!! Yeah! Steve danced with all his girls at different times. What a blessing to have such a neat dad for the girls. One who will get out on the dance floor and have a great time with his little princesses! Will was so funny, I loved dancing with him! He got into the "Heel toe, heel toe, shuffle across the floor" Or something like that (he can quote it right). Alex danced with Anna and all the others danced too. It was fun.

Before the barn dance we went and played at the Growers markert in Grants Pass too. We have not been there for over a month. It was good to see all our old vender friends and get some yummy treats, for free. It's always awesome to play for people and see them smile and be amazed at how good the kids are! It was a busy day we left home at 9:00 a.m. and got home about 11:00 p.m. but it was fun!

Sabbath Meal With Anderson Family

We had an awesome time last night at the Kenny Anderson's house. They invited us over for their Sabbath feast. And it was a feast! Kenny did some awesome sermons a while back on the importance of the sabbath in his series of The Ten Commandments. So, they have been really faithful to make each Saturday night a special Sabbath meal and honor Jesus Christ together. I loved to be a part of that with them last night. The food was awesome! Steak, salad, bread, green beans, stuffed potatoes, sparkling cider (or wine if old enough or not pregnant HA) then brownies and ice-cream with chocolate or caramel syrup on top. The fellowship was awesome too. We are so blessed to have Christian believing family. We cheered (toasted) and had lots of laughs and fun. The guys talked a lot of theology and Liisa, Karissa and I played nerts! Thank you Kenny and Liisa and family! It is awesome to watch those girls, Kaila an Karissa, they work so hard and are a real blessing to their parents. Virtuous women with sweet spirits. The boys started making a movie outside after dinner. The twins loved being with Katrina, and Will and Levi had fun too...doing boy things I guess. I love them all!! It was a blast for me to hold Noah and change his little poopy diaper too. :)
Anna, Cassie, Ellie and Esther were all with mom on their special night for the middle girls...we missed them but I know they had a great time too. I will let them write about that!

Kids had a great time at the coast!

The whole group!
Collin and Kolten, all in a days fun at the beach! Wet and cold.
Mailee and Murren....Murren was on her tip toes. She is a little taller than Maille, but not that much.
Murren and Grandma Dot! Everyone loves Grandma Dot!!!
Alex and Hugh...I guess he is either going to punch Alex or he is telling him to be tough!
Worship time was a great ending to the day. Thanking God the Creator for all the beauty and fun. Alex just happened to have his fiddle with him..(as always) so he joined Mr. Sleadd and Tate.
Alexa, Destiny and Karissa...friends at the beach.

This was a great climbing rock! Mailee and Murren loved the top....but Grandma Dot was not to happy seeing them there.
Mercy, Anna and Abigail feeding the birds!

I know these pictures are a bit late, but I guess better late than never.

Happy Birthday Girls!

Today Mailee and Murren turned 7 years old!
I love you girls you are a blessing from the Lord!
More said on my blog....Mommy :)

Boys with Ida Viper

We made it home safe!

We had a great time at the festival! It was cold at night but the daytime was not too bad. It was great to play and we did sell DVD's yippee.
Another great thing was the boys got to join a really good band Ida Viper, for three songs on their set (see picture above). The band came up to us after we performed and said they thought it was a CD playing when we first started. They really liked the boys. They played more swing style stuff, so that was a real blast for the boys! Collin learned new chords real quick, they again were surprised. God is great to give the boys these opportunities! It was so neat to watch Collin, he was really enjoying the swing style, and Smiling!!!! We all know that is amazing! HA! Alex was having fun too, it was late when they played around 11:30p.m...but worth it for sure.


Collin in his "band". They one 1st place in the band scramble contest...it's fun. These people get 30 min to come up with a band name, figure out 2 songs to play, and make it sound well practiced. It's fun to watch.
Cassie's band, in the band scramble. They got 2nd. place! All because of her...LOL

Cute kids! At the Zoo

Free rides at the Zoo! That is if your big brother is as strong Williams...thanks Alex for the help!!! Those little legs get worn out.

Anna...with the sea lion. It was pretty neat! But we were all glad that the glass was very Strong!!
Look in the background....see why Murren is so happy, the Rhino! She was glad he came out, he was hiding the first time we went by to see him.Mailee, funny little picture here with her other favorite animal! Oh sweet kisses!

Cassie and her beloved Penguins!!

Collin searching the best way to get around the Zoo. He like maps! Or is he taking us to the food court? LOL
Guess it was getting time to head for the van...the animal is coming out in Daddy HA!!!!

The wet cold kids time to head back. Alex was too dry...I think Steve should have thrown him in HA

Steve surprised us and on the way home he turned off the Highway and headed out to the way of the beach...yeeppee The kids had a great time. We did not stay too long it was COLD! But pretty....God created so many wonderful and beautiful sights for us to behold!

Movie time!

Here are a few more pictures from the movie the kids played in (it's a home school family here locally) anyway the full story is on my personal blog...if you want to know more. I guess I am feeling like I don't want to write it 2 times! HA It was fun. Just waiting for these cousins to start a bigger movie like these kids are doing....sometime!

Boy or Girl?

We are expecting a new baby at the end of April! We are very happy. Will is already 4yrs. and he will be close to 5yrs. when the baby comes, it was about time I would say (we are slacking). HA Just wanted to let everyone know about the coming baby Goldman in the blog world.
Mom and dad have already given me some products to assure this grandchild "number 30" will be happy, healthy and strong!! I love my parents! The twins came in and asked me if I wanted twins or triplets...HA again. I would love twins but triplets....wow that would be interesting. My mom said I had single babies in my teens, twins in my twenty's and now in my thirty's I will have triplets...doubt it. Jodi would really be mad at me! I am very happy and feel so blessed...thanks for sharing in my joy family!!! Love you all
P.S don't think too much about the fact that I am in my thirty's either. LOL
