Another Reunion

Wow, we are still in June.  Let me tell you June was one packed month of fun filled events one right after the other.  Just like I like it!  The children were having a blast with their cousins.  We just spent a week at the beach and now we are hanging out at the house for a few days before we head over to Atlanta to have a family reunion with my mom's family. We did things like paint.

We watched the rain, we swam.

We played in an awesome fort that Tyler's friend, Brody built.
 Tyler is the oldest grandson and Sawyer is the youngest of 16 grandchildren. 
 
We spent the weekend at my Aunt Barbara's house.  She has a beautiful backyard with a pool, which provided great entertainment for us all.
 
My cousin Mike's little boy, Evan.  Landon had so much fun playing with him.  Landon is always surrounded by lots of girls so it was fun to have a boy around his age to play with.  
 Kayla!
 Even our sweet daddy got in on the diving board fun!
 Savannah!
 Karly!
Laurel!
 

Sawyer looks just like Laurel to me.
 
Once the girls were finished swimming, they came in and Isabella, Rita and Mike's daughter, took them to a closet where all of my cousin's Kelly old dance dresses were hanging.  These little girls were in heaven and spent the rest of the night dressing up and performing for all of us.
 Isabella showing us her dance moves.  This little girl is so talented and Laurel and Savannah love spending time with her.  Laurel has been doing that dance move non- stop since we got home.  She is getting closer and closer to perfecting it.
 Karly dancing with grandpa.

I loved how Sawyer just climbed on the back of the tricycle and let Landon ride him around and around the house.
 
 I snapped some family pictures before saying goodbye.  I should have done it earlier while my Aunt Lawanda was still there.  She would have made this one complete.  This is my mom with her sister, Barbara and her brother Larry.
My cousin Mike, (he is one day older than me), my sister Audra, and my cousin Jeff.  Mike is my Aunt Barbara's son and Jeff is Uncle Larry's son.  We got to see these guys a few times a year growing up.  Lots of good memories!
