Over the Falls in a Barrel?

Last weekend Team Goguen traveled to NY for a long weekend adventure to celebrate nephew Justin's high school graduation. Justin will be enlisting in the Air Force and leaves in October for training. It was great to have all of Sara's family together, it was the first time that all the children and grandchildren were together with Papa and Gaga. We spent two nights in Batavia and an additional night @ Niagara Falls which was quite impressive. Everyone got wet and enjoyed the Maid of the Mist! The boys had a great time, we even got to enjoy a nice grown-up dinner at the Red Coach Inn which overlooked the rapids and later watched the fireworks with some ice cream.

Tyler's B-Day

Back on May 16th we celebrated Tyler's birthday with a party at home with some of his friends. It was a rainy day but we were able to spend some time outside playing, especially with Tyler's new swing! We had a great time that weekend with the party and church, Memere was in town to celebrate as well. Enjoy the slideshow below...Happy Birthday Tyler!

Papa & Gramma Visit

Papa and Gramma stopped in Charlotte last week after spending some time in Myrtle Beach visiting with Uncle Pete & Kristie and meeting Noelani. The boys had a great time playing and visiting, Papa and Daddy made a garden and the boys and Mommy planted (Tomatoes, Green Peppers, Cucumbers, Watermelon, Zucchini, Garlic and Sunflowers). Now the boys can water and watch the plants grow.....

Oregon Trip

It has been a couple of weeks since we returned from Oregon and we have now finally posted some pictures. We had an absolute wonderful time visiting with the Peters clan, now with 5 members as we were introduced to Noak Milo who was only 6 weeks old. The trip was filled with numerous fun activities; the boys having a great first flight, the Salem Carosel, riding the Max into Portland, visiting Voo Doo Donuts, the Oregon Zoo, visiting the Pacific Ocean, watching Soap Box derby races, walking around Salem and just having a great time!

Swingset Up

On Saturday during an entire day of rain the boys Swingset was built. Daddy, Uncle Jacob and Charlie spent 6 hours putting it together. Only one trip to Home Depot and a couple of trips to Jacobs for additional tools were needed. The weather this weekend could not have been worse, it has been raining since Friday night and snow is expected tonight? I think we probably should have built an arc instead.

Valentine's Fun

This past weekend Team Goguen was off on a Valentine's weekend trip to Myrtle Beach. Aunt Tami arrived in Charlotte on Wednesday and we meet up with GaGa, Aunt Amy, Uncle Pete, Kristie, Noelani and Sophie at the beach on Saturday. This was our second trip in the past month to the beach, as Aunt Sara just can't get enough of little Noelani.

Snow Storm...

Today in Charlotte we got 3-4 inches of snow, school was canceled and we all got to play in the snow this morning before Dad had to go to work. Unfortunately the Bank does not close for snow days and Dad missed out on the hot chocolate. It did bring back memories from when he was a kid and the anticipation of snow storms and if school would be canceled. In Massachusetts, snow like today would not have even delayed schools. Enjoy the pictures and video, the boys certainly did...
