The 2009 Gourley Family Reunion was at Devils Tower, Wyoming. We escaped to ND to visit the aw-inspiring Mount Rushmore National Memorial. Kayla and the fam had a great time! We really enjoyed learning about the history of this monument, the process and
the meaning.




Prepare to be impressed by my knowledge!....

George Washington signifies the struggle for independence and the birth of the Republic; Thomas Jefferson represents the territorial expansion of the country; Abraham Lincoln stand for the permanent union of the States and equality for all citizens and Theodore Roosevelt exemplifies the 20th century role of the United States in world affairs and the industrial growth of the nation.
Interesting, huh!






My dear Kayla... all grown up.

Kayla is learning how to talk!!!

Well..... at least she thinks she is. Last week Kayla learned that if she opens and closes her mouth while she yells, it make a funny noise, and she has been doing it like crazy ever since. (Brenda claims that she is actually saying "ma'ma," listen closely and you might hear it too;)
