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!

Happy 35th!!!

It's had to believe that  we are not the young family anymore and that we are getting the phone calls for our daughter to babysit! It's hard to believe that we are almost to the end of our 30's (well some of us closer than others) But we are and oh how I love this stage of my life! I have a fantastic husband( even though he is gone most of the day and night) I know he is working hard for us! Back East he would already be celebrating his 35th b-day and so I wanted to get a head start on tomorrow and wish the man that I love a Happy Birthday. Thank you for all that you do for me and the kids! 143 with all my heart! May all you wishes and desires come true ( and mine too!)

Horsey Ride

 He couldn't get enough of the Tiger's, although the sea otters had us in stitches (they were right up to the window and the boys just thought it was the funniest thing ever!)

Almost everyday when we are in the car and we are about going home JT will ask where are we going? I say we are going home.His reply's "NO" horsey ride!!! So today I took him to the zoo and let him ride on the carousel and said here is your Horsey Ride! He was so excited! I have never had a child so excited to see all the animals!

Nauvoo trip with Hannah

Hannah and I were able to spend a week with my mom and dad with 26 other people on a church history trip! We had a great time visiting Liberty, Independence, Far West, Adam-ondi-Ahman, Quincy,Nauvoo,Carthage,Garden Grove,Mt.Pisgah,Council Bluffs and Winter Quarters.

 Gracie and Hannah in front of the Mansion house where Joseph and Hyrum left to Carthage never to return alive again.

 Sister Nielson and her husband from our ward are serving a temple mission in the Nauvoo Temple and we were able to visit with them.

You see this man in this picture? His name is Oliver. He will stand out in Hannah and my mind as we think of this trip. He left California a non member and accepted the gospel in Nauvoo and was baptized. What a blessing we have had thank you Oliver for your strength and faith!
