Trip to Utah Part 2

As we drove into Salt Lake, we stopped to visit Grandma Tate. Bryson's parents came down for a couple days, too, so it was great to see them and have a little 4th of July picnic out back. The kids were very excited to see them, but they are very shy at first, so it always takes a bit for them to warm up to even grandparents sometimes.

Here is another reason for our trip to Utah. My sister, Jana, had her baby and blessed her on Sunday. Baby Kate is such a cutie! We enjoyed spending time with them and all of Brad's family, too.

And, here's another reason for our trip. Baby Johnny, Bryson's brother, Brad and Keriann had a little boy a couple months ago. We had a great time eating dinner with them and Bryson's mom, Julie, in Brad's backyard. We also got to visit with Brad and Keriann on Sunday after church. We are excited for them and their new adventure as parents!

Here is Bryson in a Nathan sandwich! This is one of our good friends and one of Bryson's former roommates from our BYU days. Nate is getting married in August! Yea! We are super excited for him. We got to meet his beautiful fiance, too. Good luck and congrats to them!!

Here is the most recent family picture of my side. Boy, we sure seem to be growing in numbers fast!

And here are the proud grandparents with all of their grandkids. Wow, five in the last 4 1/2 years. And from only 2 daugters so far!

I have to add how fast Kayla is growing. She's at the beginning stages of crawling, the kind of lift, hop and scoot around the floor. She gets up on to her hands and sometimes knees, but is still a little unsure of what to do.
