Teenager!

So it's official! I have a teenager!!! How did this happen?!? Well as you can see my little Haleigh has turned into a beautiful girl. She is such a big help to me especially since Andrew is so busy at work. She is always having to watch one of her siblings. I remember someone telling me when she was born that you will love having a girl first and we have! As you can tell Haleigh loves to take pictures of herself as well as anyone else that wants to jump in the picture. She loves the group one direction and for her birthday she got tickets for the concert (which the lucky person that is going with her is her cousin Justin). She loves the Giants and bought (not with my approval) a Beat LA hat with her own money. She has also figured out this year that babysitting is a great way to earn her spending money. If she is not babysitting for me then she is for someone else. I feel so blessed to have Haleigh as a daughter!

Easter

Random Huh? Well I lost of lot of pictures by deleting accidently off  my phone but found this one of my beautiful kids Easter morning. I think Nordstrom should use it as an ad since I bought everything but JT's shirt there. Anyways we were home for Easter after our spring break trip to Arizona.

Happy Mothers Day

I remember a song that I would sing about dad when I was younger. Today I will change it to mom.

My moms the greatest mom. And my moms the strongest mom. And my moms the bravest mom of any mom around.. Maybe I'll introduce you then you'll know that it's the truth that my mom my moms the greatest mom around.

Today as everyday I am thankful to have a mom who loves me no matter what I do or say. She always has been an incredible example to me of how to service and share with everyone. She has taught me how to be the mom I am today.

I love you mom, more than you will ever know.

Happy Mother's Day!

And to my two amazing sisters. Thank you for your love, examples, and friendship! You always amaze me at everything you do.Thank you for being my big sisters and loving me for who I am.

To my kiddos. Life would be pretty boring without you. You make my life complete. You make me smile,laugh, cry, crazy, proud, I am a better person because of all of you. Love you forever and like you for always! Thank you for making me a mom.


And to my Grandma VJ and Derelys, I think of you often and terribly miss you both!

I am blessed to have/had these amazing women in my life.

Gotta love JT

The last couple of days JT has decided he doesn't need to wear a shirt. So he just takes it off and walks around (remember it is only in the 50's)  We were just looking at chocolate dipped strawberries (on the computer) and he says "can I eat it" then when I said we don't have them here, he says" can we make it?"

Traditions

Happy 2012!!!!

Well another year has come and gone with many wonderful memories that will last a lifetime! (Of course I am sure there were some that weren't so wonderful but that another story). As always we spent the week between Christmas and New Year's in southern California where we enjoyed 80+ weather. JT received a build a bear gift card from his Aunt Ann and family and we all watched him as he created"Hot Dog" the wiener dog. We had fun at Olivera Street eating yummy taquitos, celebrating Dave,Alexa and Ryan's birthdays at Farrell's, Ice skating, and of course The Rose Parade to name a few. It is always fun catching up with my cousins. There were many missed this year but hope to see them next year. We decided to run a half marathon in June with all the cousins who can make it. Fun huh? 

Merry Christmas

Hoping your day was filled with love and joy! Merry Christmas from the Goett Family! PS if you didn't get a card it is on the way or because I didn't have your address.

Field Ceremonies

Alex was chosen to represent her class in the field ceremony for the new baseball field at her school. Then she even got to help cut the red ribbon! 

Out with the old and in with the new.

Andrew took the kiddo's down to a tree farm to cut down our tree. They came home with this ginormous tree! We had to cut a little off but hey this will be a great new tradition! Bye Bye to osh/home depot/ and costco trees:)

Thanksgiving 2011

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. As always we have so much to be thankful for! We were able to spend time with family and are so grateful for those relationships! We were able to spend a few minutes with Uncle Chris and Aunt Lousie at the Newport Beach Temple. We are blessed with so much!
