Family Reunion Part I

This past weekend was the Keys Family Reunion. All of Kenney's siblings (except Kaden who is on a mission) were in town. It was great to see everyone and spend time together. The boys had an absolute blast with all their cousins and enjoyed every minute (well maybe not the pictures)!

We started on Friday with the open house for Keyan and Kelli.  The women spent time decorating and getting finishing touches on everything while the kids went swimming with the men.  We went back, had dinner, and then got ready for the open house.  Everyone had a great time dancing and singing along to the music.

Saturday everyone came to our house for lunch and then headed to the WAV (the water park here in town).  Our boys were super excited to go to the WAV because they always point out the water slides when we drive by.  They all had so much fun.  Kyler was such a big kid going off the diving boards, down the water slides, and just running around with cousins.  Damon was kinda left out of the big stuff because he can't swim yet but didn't seem to mind too much, and Radley was happy as could be in the little kid area!

That evening we had a nice dinner and then the Tipa family came over for s'mores and marshmallows.  There were even more cousins to play with then!  Kids were everywhere!! 

Brock and Shayla's boys came to hang out with us one day before the reunion, and Kyler was so excited when Tyce showed up wearing the same shirt that he had to go change clothes.  He even changed shorts so they would both have khaki cargo shorts!
These boys had so much fun together.  It's awesome when there is never any fighting!  It's like I don't even have to watch the kids, they all entertain each other!
And they always have to be goofy!
Not really part of the reunion, but I had to document our first official head laceration.  I am shocked it has taken us 6 years and 3 boys before it happened.  I am so happy this wasn't serious.  It bled pretty good, but wasn't a big deal.  After this happened (he had hit the bottom cabinets in the kitchen), he joined the other boys who had stacked the couch cushions and were jumping off them.  At one point, Kyler said, "Mom I think Radley's head is bleeding again."  Sure enough it had started to drip down his face.  Radley looked at me, wiped the drip of blood, and said, "It's not lot of blood.  It's ok!"  Haha! Obviously, he was fine!
The boys were all playing a game one day, and Bentley just crawled over and started watching them play.  It was so cute!
Radley and Asher had so much fun dancing at Keyan and Kelli's open house.  They loved it when Savanna would hold them and dance.
Bentley was loving watching everyone dance!
Kyler being grumpy because they weren't playing the songs he wanted, so he decided to just pout and cry!
Damon dancing around with Jax and Tyce.

Radley was so cute dancing around! He loves dancing and now had a big stage! 


Kyler going down the big slide at the WAV.
He was so proud of himself after going down.  He even went off the high dive!  I was super impressed and had no idea he had so much gumption! 

Here is the video of Kyler going down the slide. He even inspired some of his cousins to try it too! 

Radley had a blast going down the slides and playing in the little kid area.
When Damon found out he couldn't do a lot of activities because he still needed floaties, he decided that he was going to learn how to swim that day!  He made some giant strides, but still wasn't quite there. 
Bentley had a good time too.  She didn't hate the water, but she wasn't overly excited either.  However, her swimsuit was just too cute!!
The fire pit and s'mores/marshmallows were a hit!  All the kids had fun with Papa roasting marshmallows!
Some of the crew gathered around the fire.
Damon getting Papa to help him roast a marshmallow.
Bruce's face in the picture just makes me laugh!  He is the cutest kid and thinks he's one of the big boys now!
Brek!
