My first 29th birthday!

I had a good first 29th birthday! My mom came down so Gary and I could go out for a little while. Gary made me a cake - first cake he's made for me - and with a little help, I managed to blow out the candles in one breath! I had 29 balloons to pop with little messages inside of them - how fun! Of course it wouldn't be my birthday if someone didn't feel well. After being coughed in the face by Brianna for an entire week I was bound to get something. Thankfully it was just a cold and I'm feeling much better now!

Just trying to get healthy!

A little update from the Gogis house... Brayden was sick with a fever, cough, runny nose, headache last week and unfortunately Brianna got it this week (only worse). She visited Dr. Gloyeske today and he started her on Omnicef for her ears (which are red but not truly infected yet) and her lungs (bottom left lobe is junky - possible pneumonia). Hopefully, she'll do well with the medicine and it will clear it up. Poor girl hasn't been eating - which those of you who know my little pig know this is a big deal. She seems to be doing slightly better with that today but still really whiny, which is wearing on all of us. We're definitely ready for warmer weather here!

Some new pics...

Here's Brianna showing off her new outfit and shoes from her Aunt Alli! Brayden being sweet...
Our new bathroom!
Gary should be an interior designer - maybe he'll add that to Gogis Design...

Not just coincidence...

Brianna used the potty successfully again tonight! We may be starting potty training earlier than we thought!

Potty Potty

Tonight I asked Brianna if she needed to go pee and she said, "yes, potty, potty..." and headed towards the stairs (we had gotten out Brayden's old potty and put it in the upstairs bathroom). We put her on the potty, and sure enough she went! She'll be 19 months old on the 21st. We'll see if she does it again any time soon, but that was hilarious!

It's my turn...

Ok, so Brayden got Brianna's stomach bug on Sunday and now it's my turn today! It stinks to have to take a day off work so early in the year considering I only get 7 days off a year. Oh well - hopefully I will recover quickly. We need a germ exorcist in our house - lysol and oust just don't seem to be cutting it! Please pray that Gary can escape all of this junk.

A date with just Brianna!

I got to take just Brianna to the Children's Museum today while Brayden was busy at preschool. It was fun for her to actually do what she wanted to do for a change!
ROAR!!!
Yes - she got a little wet playing in the water! The kids there were crazy!
