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.

1. The reason I numbered the pictures is because they all go together. My brother in law gave our family a little vaction to Orcas Island in the San Juan Island off the coast of WA. We had an amazing time.
2.
3. Noah is blowing sand out of his hand. He is so handsome.
4. This was the view from our cabin, the weather was amazing....
5.We hiked to the top of an old observation tower, you could see for miles. Liam asked if we could see CDA from here.
Noah and Liam had a small piano recital in October, (Harrison was on a Boy Scout campout, so he wasn't able to play that night.) It was so fun, Noah played the Imperial March from the Star Wars score and Liam played the theme song from Star Wars. I have tried to get the movie on the blog but have yet to figure it out. Hopefully soon.

When I came back from Kansas City Donnie was ready to run a marithon, it was all his own, he started in Liberty Lake, WA and ended at Higgins point in Coeur d'Alene. The boys, his mom, my parents and I were all there to cheer him on at the finish line. We are so proud of him.


This picture was taken at an event that I went to with Jeff in June. His boss, Tom Campion, owner of Zumiez was nominated Entrepreneur of the Year for the Northwest and won. It was a wonderful evening.... Lots of fun people:) This post is a little our of order, I just found this picture and loved it.
