First off though, are you jealous, this is our morning view while we're eating breakfast. I love it. The sunrises have been really pretty with the clouds hanging around still. :)The Goodman Family reunion was over Memorial Day weekend. On Thursday night my parents and brother & fam came up and spent the night so we could leave early Friday morning for Albion, ID. There's a little historical site that has been turned into sort of a family reunion gathering place. It was really neat. We got there and it was quite chilly. We had been hoping for some warm weather all week, but it was rainy and cold the first day. That actually turned out to be okay though, it gave everyone a chance to visit and catch up and sort of get settled in to the place.
Saturday warmed up a little bit and Damon loved being outside. That was probably the word he used most...outside..outside. Morgan took him out on the banana bikes and he loved going for rides. Even if he was as frozen as a popsicle, he still wanted to be outside.

Even if he was as frozen as a popsicle, he still wanted to be outside.On Saturday a lot of the cousins (those my age/generation) got together and had a little airsoft gun game, Morgan said it was fun and didn't hurt as bad as he thought, at least through his jacket. After that several of the guys - including Morgan - drove up to Burley, ID (about 15 minutes away) and played some golf. After that he took up watching the kids while I played in the Minute to Win it game that we had. It was really fun, I wish I would have taken some more pictures. I got out pretty quick though, my reflexes just aren't what they used to be...I'm definitely ready to have this baby (and I still have 7 1/2 weeks to go).
So, while Morgan was away, we tried to play outside when it was warmer. The boys like playing with the tether ball, until Damon got hit in the face, cold nose, hard ball, yeah, it hurts.
But he did enjoy it when he was able to play by himself. And there was a lot of open space to just let them run around. We had a big bounce house set up, but I don't think my kids like those very much, at least not when there are a lot of other kids playing in them.
The wind kept coming and going making badminton quite a difficult task, but on Sunday they were able to get some good games of volleyball and badminton going.
Logan and Kashlynn loved playing on the stage and came up with quite some funny stories and performances for me. I wish I could remember them all.
There was one about tying shoes and Logan attempting tying his shoes that were already tied. Something about a monster and a carousel and his shoelaces???

We had softball games going, volleyball, indoor games and tons of fun, despite several people getting pretty sick. We were lucky enough to avoid the worst and Damon only ended up with a fever for a couple days, which was probably a good thing because even when he was tired and slowed down a little for that, that little boy had sooo much energy and just loved to get into things.
After the reunion my mom came to stay with me for a couple days. I had a dentist appointment and a doctor appointment that she was here for. It was nice to have an in-home babysitter for a while. We're going to miss her. She'll be back end of July though when I have the baby. Thanks for all your help while you were here mom!!
Morgan only has 1 more week until he takes his big test and we both can hardly wait. It will be so nice to have my husband back and I'm sure he's looking forward to having a lot of stress off his shoulders. He's been working so hard and I'm pretty sure he'll pass the first time, even if he has his moments of self-doubt. I love you honey!
Well, I guess that's all for now, I better go turn on Thomas the Tank Engine before Damon has a total meltdown and so I can get the kitchen cleaned. Until next time.....

Seeing as I've seen the sun rise on more than once the last few months and I know for a fact that at this time of year, it rises at about 6:04 am, I can't say that I'm jealous one bit that you were watching it while eating breakfast as that means both kids (and you) were awake for the day at 6 am.
:)
It sounded like a lot of fun, besides the cold and sickness. Wish we could have been there! I'm glad someone posted about it because I've been waiting!
Lots of cute pictures from the reunion. I brought my camera but didn't take a single picture! I guess that is what happens when you are chasing two girls and carrying a baby around all day long!
