4th of July - 2011 edition

The 4th of July this year was very fun.  We had a Goates family reunion, so everyone, including spouses and children, were there!  Nothing in the world like family!  Sierra Vista usually has a spectacular fireworks show, but due to the recent fires in the area, it had to be cancelled.  But that's ok, we had fun putting mentos in diet soda and watching some non-flammable explosions!  

Wish I had gotten more pictures, but oh well.  This picture of me and the kids was the best I could get...crazy boys...gotta love them!!

Logan Utah

My little sister Reenie was put on bedrest at only 14 weeks along in her pregnancy due to a subchorionic hematoma (look it up if you're curious).  Logan and I have had the opportunity to go visit her this last week in Utah!  Thanks everyone who made this a possibility, especially my darling husband who took care of everything back home while I was gone, as well as my parents and in-laws who watched the kids while said husband was at work.  

We've had lots of...well...memorable experiences.  Here are some fun shots of Logan enjoying  himself with Aunt Reenie.  They were pals from the beginning. 

Sweet little Logan provided endless amounts of entertainment for Reenie.  This was his favorite spot:  between her legs on the couch.  :)
