MAY: I just finished my first year in nursing school yeahhhhh! I am so glad I am half way done. These last couple months have been so crazy but they have also been so much fun. I have learned so much. This is my clinical group we are at our pediatric clinical. I had Peds, OB and Med Surg this semester.

May 5th we hit our four year mark. What a great four years. We have had a blast so far and I am so excited to see what the future holds.

A quiet day at the Goss house, or should I say a quiet couple of hours.

I walked in the house today after being at school all day and expected it to be a mad house. I know I only have one child, but she is well, let me say that I was a mellow and quiet kid and her dad well from what his mom tells me, Alayna not only looks like him but she has his wild attitude. Sometimes it feels like we have five kids. From her dumping my makeup base all over her bed and carpet, to locking me out of the house when I went out to feed the dogs or when she pulls all the pans, utensils, and everything else with in her reach out to the living room in a matter of seconds (these are just things that happen in one morning). So when I walked through the door and it was quiet I was a little worried. And this is what I found....

I tip toed around the house for about two hours trying not to wake them but I had to sneak a picture, they look so peaceful and cute!!

HIDE AND SEEK

Alayna loves to play hide and seek her favorite spots are dad and mom's closet, behind the shower curtain and in her princess castle tent. But this spot was new and she thought it was the funniest thing she laughed and laughed so I couldn't help but laugh.

The refrigerator is her new favorite hiding spot she can't quite close it all the way (thank goodness) but it was pretty cute to see her sitting in there giggling.

Christmas in Oregon

We spent Christmas in Oregon and we had so much fun. Alayna was full of energy the whole time, she never stopped or slowed down. She through a few tantrums, but for the most part she was so happy, she walked around the house saying "HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY". She danced and gave loves and kisses to everyone all day long. There was only one time that she was really naught and thank goodness I was gone and it was all dad. Dad put her down for a nap while my father-in-law and him played Wii. He went to check on her after a little bit and she was stark naked in her port-a-crib with poop everywhere and she was sound a sleep. I was glad her dad had it all cleaned up when I got there because then it was funny and I could laugh about it. We had a blast and we are already starting to planning our next trip back to Oregon.

Officer Goss

Andrew is official he has his badge, his gun, and his car. He loves his job and is so excited to go to work everyday. He is like a kid on christmas, his three days off just won't go by fast enough, he just can't wait to back to work. I am so proud of him he has worked so hard and he has started his career that he loves.

Cheese!!!

Alayna loves to get her picture taken. She is such a happy girl, naughty sometimes, but happy. She can always make us laugh, it is so hard some times to keep a serious face when she has done something naught, she will make a funny face or kiss us and say"all better" and we some how forget about putting her in timeout. Alayna keeps us so busy, she has to run everywhere she goes, and she never watches where she is running and runs right into the walls. She always has to have one of her stuffed animals with her all the time or her blanky.
