The Beginning of the Goecke Family Blog

I went to visit my beautiful sister Mindee in Kansas City in October. She had just had her first baby, Claire Elizabeth Forman. During our visit, while looking through pictures and blogs, my sister has taught me how to create my own blog. I'm excited to keep everyone updated and informed on the latest and greatest about the Goecke boys.

So here we go!

Since this is the first posting and we have so many pictures, the pictures are in reverse chronological order.

This is a picture of Tristan, getting on a airplane for the first time, and he is flying unaccompanied. :( Off to Seattle to spend a weekend with Uncle Jeff... They had a great time together, going to the Dinosaur exhibit and shopping.

This is Harrison (age 12), Noah (age 10), Liam (age 8), and Tristan (age 6) on the first day of school. We home school through IDEA (Idaho Distance Education Academy, a state-wide charter school) and started about 5 days later than everyone else.


This is the same day, the first day of Scouts. Tristan just joined Cub Scouts as a Tiger Scout, Liam went from Wolf to Bear, Noah became a second-year Weblo, and Harrison is a Boy Scout. Donnie is the Scout Leader for the Weblos and loves being with his pack of little men.

This is the boys at Priest Lake, about to go geocaching. This is an annual trip we do over Labor Day with Donnie's family. The boys have an absolute blast.

This is me with Donnie, my fabulously handsome husband, at Thompson Falls on the border of Idaho and Montana.

Here the boys are waiting to meet friends at a little Mexican restaurant in Moscow, Idaho.

We took a little trip to Moscow to catch up with old friends and decided to go to the Arboretum.


The boys in a tree (a very cool tree with one big root and lots of trunks).


Noah's action shot.

This is the boys on Easter, getting ready for church.


My intention is to update this blog every 2 weeks... We'll see what happens, but it should be at least more often than every 6 months...

Hope you enjoy!

Love you all,

Lauri (& all her guys)
