Busy, Busy, Busy Summer

It has been a crazy busy summer. We have literally had something going on every single weekend for months now. Such fun as the kids get older to see them interact with all our family and friends. Here are some pics of recent outings.

One weekend we happened to be home - and thought it might be a good idea to go check out some of the local attractions. So despite the hot summers in this area, we braved it one weekend, and hit the Folsom Zoo. We had heard such good things about the zoo that we thought lets check it out!
Wyatt as a black bear.

Teagan as a black bear.

The Three Little Goodrich's...where's Goldilocks anyway?!

Me taking the kids on a train ride. They are totally into the "idea" of a train ride...but when it comes down to actually riding on the train...not so much.

Teagan, not happy. Me telling Wyatt to wave to Daddy.

Teagan May loves her swings at the park.

Wyatt is always off exploring the play structures and climbing to go down a slide.

This was us at the pet zoo at the Sacramento State Fair. I must say - these were some very friendly petting zoo animals! But the kids did great - they weren't scared at all - totally fed the animals the food right out of their palms.



Wyatt waited very patiently for his turn to "ride" the tractor. He could barely reach the pedals, and didn't know how to pedal, but man he loved sitting on that tractor! All boy this kid.

Teagan found the saddles on the haybales and had to get on up! She was in heaven. Even though it was easily 100+ degrees we did have a fun time. And next year, we will know exactly where to go, where all the food is, etc. We were such State Fair virgins this year!

This was Wyatt waking up from a car ride back home from the Bay Area...he slept the whole way home...it was a big weekend!
This was Teagan on the car ride home too. She will usually only nap for 45 minutes in the car. She is not a car sleeper like so many other kids. It is pretty funny because she will wake up and Wyatt is still sleeping - so she will yell over to him and try to wake him up! She says: "Wake up Wyatt!" When she gets no response from him she will say: "Wyatt, you sleeping?"
While we were down in the Bay Area one weekend we went to see our niece's soccer game. The kids just love cousins and we got to say one last good bye to our other niece that was leaving for college. Good Luck Kaitlin!!
This is Uncle Rolo playing soccer with Wyatt. More like 'keep away!'


The whole family!

For Comparison Purposes
























The first set of pictures was taken in January of 2008 when they were 7 months old. The second set of pictures was taken in August of 2009 when they were 2 years and 1 month old. Wow - they grow fast!!
