Oktoberfest at Greenbluff! We love going every year. We are at Hansen's farm, always our first stop, chunky applesauce with carmel sauce. YUMMY!

Then we head to "downtown" Greenbluff and go to the Harvest house, the boys play in the jumping castles, go through the corn maze and pick our pumpkins for the season.

Aren't they handsome!

It was Harrison's turn to go to Disneyland.... He went at the beginning of October and had a blast. Not many pictures, I guess because I wasn't there. My brother is going to take each one of the boys separately. Liam gets to go in May

Noah, Liam and Tristan all participated in Cross Country this fall. They all did an amazing job, we are so proud of them.
Noah getting ready to start.

Daddy encouraging Liam at his Cross Country meet.

Harrison is in a writing class and his teacher takes them on field trips occasionally. The outing was to Mineral Ridge, the boys and I tagged along. It was an amazingly beautiful day, I'm trying to help them realize what a magnificent place we live in.

Harrison Paul (turn picture PLEASE)

Noah Jeffrey September 8th

Liam Douglas (how do I turn this picture.)

Tristan Davis September 8th

First day of school, aren't they handsome? You can barely see our house in the background, and I don't have a picture yet:(

Harrison turned 13 on August 26th, for his birthday he invited 7, 13 and 14 year olds over to have a sleep over. The plan was to set up a tent and have them sleep in the back yard. Well plans changed, it rained for a week straight, they ended up, all 8 of them, sleeping in our TV room. When I went in there the next morning, it smelled funny. Go figure.

My mom and I flew to Seattle to see my brother in August, we were shopping for the new house. We had moved in about two weeks earlier. We had a great time just the three of us.

Tristan and Liam, we are out on Hayden Lake on Bill Perkin's boat. What an amazing place to live:)

Liam and Daddy, we floated the river with Nana and Papa this summer. It was so fun.... The day was perfect, we only got stuck once.

Another duplicate, sorry....how do you delete once you upload? I need a Blog class, is there such a thing?

Here are the boys at Presidents Park, there is a bust of very President and a short history about them. Abraham Lincoln is the favorite President. Sorry I don't know how to flip the picture. Mindee help!

This is the group of us that caravan ed to South Dakota, from left to right, Grandma Great, Teri, Laune (my Dad), Brandie, Dan, me, Donnie, front left, Noah, Liam, Harrison ans Tristan. We are at the Clem/Walker homestead.

There was a Native American exhibit at Mt. Rushmore and the boys got to have their picture taken with one of the dancers. I bet he was hot it was 95 degrees that day.

Mt. Rushmore, so amazing..... When we told people we were going to South Dakota this summer, most asked, "Why South Dakota?" Well not only was there a family reunion on my Dad's side but MT. RUSHMORE, WOW!

We are at the memorial of Custer's Last Stand, the boys are standing behind and cool gun display.

Here we are in Deadwood South Dakota, posing by a statue of Wild Bill Hickok.

This picture was taken in May, I have started taking pictures of the bouquets the boys pick and bring me, Tristans beautiful bouquet of dandiellions will last forever.

Ok, no pictures and I am sick about it...... I had pictures of Liam's 9th birthday, the boys piano concert and picture of friends in Moscow and as I thought I was copying them to my computer I somehow deleted them ALL.
Like I said Liam is 9, we went to Seattle for the weekend with my parents. It was amazing! Jeff bought us all tickets to Cirque du Soleil "Corteo." The show was unbelievable, the boys are still talking about it.
In other news, I had put on my Facebook a new address, well the house fell through so we have not moved. Which is why I have not sent out a mass e-mail of an address change. I was about to pictures on our blog of the new house and the next day it fell through. Obviously not where God wants us to live.
The boys will be done with school on May 30th, I'm hoping to be a little better about updates when EVERYTHING (AWANA, Scouts, school, writing class, art and gymnastics) comes to an end for the summer. But then again, we will hopefully be moving, I'll let you all know when we know. Good bye for now.
Love, the Goecke's

Donnie ran a 100K relay in April. He and five others ran it last year, the each did two legs. This year they had a ten man team, so they only had to run one leg each.
This is his team, one of his teammates left right after her leg. They did a great job:)

There he goes! Luckily the flight is only 45 minutes long. It actually takes me longer to drive home than it does for Liam to fly to Seattle. Funny:)
This is little Liam Douglas getting ready to get on a plane to Seattle (all by himself) to go visit Uncle Jeff for the weekend. My brother is flying each one of the boys over periodically to spend the weekend together. The boys aren't really used to getting to do things ALL by themselves. It is such a treat.
Noah is 11 this year. Where does the time go? It was Spring break, nice.... We celebrated by having some friends over and playing all afternoon.

Easter Morning! We have a wonderful morning at church, followed by a brunch with Donnie's family, then over to my parents for Easter dinner. What a wonderful day to Celebrate our Risen Savior!

Tristan was involved in the Cubscout Pinewood derby this year. He did not have a very fast car but he won an award for the best design. His Daddy designed it and Papa made it happen. Next year they are planning on have best design and the fastest. We'll see:)

This is the Blue and Gold banquet held every February for the Cub Scouts. In this picture Liam has just received is God and Country award. It is a very hard award to earn, he is the first in Pack 211.
This is the Bear Den telling jokes ant the Pack meeting....
Noah has earned his Arrow of Light, the highest award a WEBLO can earn, he will be moving to Boys Scouts in the Fall.

December 2007/ January 2008

This was our Christmas picture, I'm starting with this one because it has been 5 months since I've posted anything. WOW
We love to go to The Coeur d'Alene Resort during the Holidays, we seem to always find someone who will take our picture in this huge sleigh.
Christmas Day, the boys opening presents
This picture was taken at the local roller rink, we celebrated Tristan 7th birthday there, it was Noah's, Liam's and Tristan's first time on skates. They all had a lot of fun. A great experience!

This handsome gentlemen is Harrison Paul Goecke...... He is in the National League of Cotillion, this is his second year. This picture was taken at the Winter Ball.
