Yancey Family Reunion

My Mamaw Faye passed away the year Bryan and I got married. She was such an awesome lady! She was a great cook, she could grow anything in her garden. She loved doing crafts and fishing. She was also hilarious! She loved her family and spent all of her time taking care of them. Since she's been gone, we really haven't gotten the whole family together. Luckily we put an end to that last weekend with the Yancey Family Reunion. (Her maiden name was Yancey.)
It was such a hot day, but so great to see everyone. Bry somehow got talked in to grilling everyone's food for them so I spent most of the day trying to keep up with the kiddos. I'm pretty sure the highlight of the day was when Bubba looked up and said "Hey, look at that!" Bre and I looked over and out of the trees comes a huge goat. He just trotted right up to us! The boys took one look at him and ran for the hills! Presley on the other hand was smitten as she is with most animals. We could not stop laughing at the absurdity of it! Like, who does this happen to? A goat just walks up out of nowhere?! Really?
Another funny thing was when Bre and Bailey decided to declare war on Dad with a water fight. They got him pretty good. Dad and Peyton ended up getting me even though I was just standing there minding my own business! There will be payback! Dad, his sister Lisa, and his brothers, Chris and Mike.
Bry at the grill. It's his own fault for being such a good cook. :)

Sweet Lily sleeping the day away. Jo tried to stay inside as much as she could. It was way too hot outside for this little one. (Check out her foot. She hangs out in a little pouch Jo carries around. It is the sweetest thing!)
Austin, Luke, Brandon and Presley playing in the sandbox.

Ella taking her turn with the frog. I love her sweet face in this picture!
If I titled my pictures this one would be "The Bullfighter". Carson looks like he is ready to take on the goat! :)
Presley with her arms out trying to get a hug from the goat.
After the initial shock of seeing the goat, the boys went back to playing in the sandbox. A few minutes later the goat decided to join them. When they looked up and saw him, they took off again! If you listen, you'll hear Presley in the background singing "na na na na boo boo" and taunting the goat. He comes over and shocks us both by giving her a little headbutt in the tummy! A little scary at the time, but hilarious now...
