Mountain Goat Moo Moo

So you know how you give your kids really weird nicknames?  Well, Tessa has a couple that we all use alot - LuLu and Moo Moo.  I have no idea where they came from - I think when she was a baby I made up a song about Tessa Lou and it just morphed from there.  Anyway, that is what we call her in our little circle of Wrights.

She now has a new name - Mountain Goat Moo Moo.  She gave it to herself after a Fall Break weekend spent in Moab and Arches National Park.  She has now decided she loves hiking and is quite good at hiking around rocks and such, like a mountain goat.

We all had a lovely time.  We hiked around Arches and looked at Indian petroglyphs and dinosaur footprints.  William bought a fossil and Henry threw up after eating five cookies the size of his head.  Good times.

I'm sure there are pictures floating around of our adventures in Moab.  But I don't have them.  I do, however, have some pictures that He Who Has An iPhone finally gave to me:

Tessa's birthday on May 3rd - She got a scooter:
 Tessa showing her favorite dance pose before her Dance Revue in mid-May:
 Henry and Jay went to Scout Camp and did a 10 mile hike in June:
 William's awesome baseball team - they only lost one game all year:
 William hiked with Jay up Logan Canyon to the Wind Caves:
 Jay hiked with the Varsity Scouts from our ward to King's Peak, the highest point in Utah:

By Christmas I am sure I will have pictures of our trip to So Cal and our UEA trip to Moab.  Perhaps I should just start taking a real camera when we go places and, I don't know, take pictures.

Nah.
