Small group buddies

Here are just a few of the kids from our small group playing "together" last night! (left to right - Lucy, Joshua, Brianna) Check out the Elmo on your diaper, Joshua!

Here's a picture of Brianna and Evan playing a couple weeks ago! Didn't want to leave him out of the group!

Happy Birthdays!

There are a lot of birthdays in my family this time of year so we decided to celebrate them all together - mine, my dad's, and my sister's, (Daniel's fiance Kim has a birthday in Feb. too, but unfortunately they're too far away).
Brianna got an Easter dress from my mom with a little purse to match!

Tackle daddy!

Brianna's latest obsession (following in her brothers footsteps)

Gary took the kids to see Bob and Larry last Saturday. Brianna is completely in love with Veggie Tales right now. We are only allowed to listen to Veggie Tales in the car. She'll sit through any Veggie Tale movie! They were a little scary up close. Too big for Brianna!

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!
