Family Gathering in Utah

After we returned from Grandma Hill's funeral in Washington, we turned right around around and left for a family gathering in Utah over the weekend of July 12. My niece Lori was going to be in town visiting from Alaska with her new baby, Cooper. We so rarely get to see her that we had to take the chance to go. While she was in town, Karrie had planned a big picnic and family gathering so that everyone would have the chance to visit and catch up while she was there. A few of us from Karrie's family as well as a bunch of the Averett family (her husband, Cary's family) were there as well as many friends. It was lots of fun to be there.

Here are a bunch of random pictures from our visit. Lizette wanted to take pictures that day so many of these are courtesy of her. :)

Me holding little Cooper. He is the sweetest, happiest little baby! Made me excited to have ours! 

Cute Diane!

 And cute Hailey! She loves anything cheetah and she came in costume that day. 

Me and my sistas!

An abstract family photo we thought was cool at the moment. :)
