We hit the hotel pool this morning before heading out for the reunion. I forgot to take my camera, but luckily Laura had hers and got some pool pictures.
On a side note, Laun is amazing. He woke up around 5am…as usual, and headed to the store. He got gifts for all the kids and I and some laundry detergent. And then he cleaned all of our laundry at the hotel laundry room before meeting us at the pool. I sure love my man.
I’m pretty sure I love Kenley more than she loves me.
I mean look at her face…like she’s suffering through my kisses. Poor girl, I just love her so much.
Gavin refused to smile since he was away from his mamma. Martha was grocery shopping and Gavin had withdrawals. He’s such a cute little mamma’s boy.
I was surrounded by cute little girls.

We left St. George today and headed to the lodge at Duck Creek Village, for the Turley family reunion. The views on the way there were beautiful and I already knew I would love this place.
The lodge is awesome…it is like a huge cabin/house. It has a kitchen, dining room, living room, 10 bedrooms which all have there own bathroom, a laundry room, and a grass backyard.
Just down the road is a True Value Store, so Laun, Clayton and I checked it out.
Clayton got a huge jaw breaker and I got this solid metal cow (the picture doesn’t do it justice). I will most likely hang my scarves or jewelry from it or maybe even a hand towel. Not sure yet, but I’m sure excited about it and even more excited that it only costs me $10.
Laun took Richard, Ben and our boys on a evening fishing trip. Here they are excited to take off.
While the boys were fishing, Marlee used her time hanging out with her girl cousins. In fact, all the big girls get to sleep in the girl cousin room (and there is a boy cousin room, too). Marlee is so excited to sleep in the big girl room. Well, what she actually said is, “I’ll sleep with the girls, as long as they’re not annoying me.” Ha ha- this 4 year old girl cracks me up.
The kitchen stayed busy tonight.

The first shift of feeding begins…
Dad is making cookies with different grandkids each day. Here is Avery and Josiah helping Grandpa make peanut butter blossoms.

As we were busy at the lodge, the boys were bringing in the fish. I’m so glad Laun took pictures.
Laun said the boat and motors worked great.
I love this picture of Laun!!!

The boys came back so happy about the fish they caught.
And they got back just in time for the dance party.
Laura and Justin handed out the dancing awards that Grandpa made.
Maybe Clayton’s done a little too much fishing. His dance looks like a fish impersonation.
The grandkids got so into the dance party.
Marlee was so excited when she got an award.
The boys with their dancing awards:
Marlee pretty much danced with everyone- she had so much fun.
Josiah and Marlee are such good buds.
She even asked Brandon’s younger brother Matt to dance and he kindly obliged.
I love how she was looking at him.
I’m pretty sure Marlee could have danced all night. It reminds me of myself, I hardly ever missed a school or church dance.
Marlee and Andy
These two are so cute.
Then we celebrated Avery’s birthday with these awesome cupcakes Elizabeth made.
The kids have had quite the day and the reunion just started.
