March 15 is "Katie" day. As I mentioned earlier, we all spent this day together this year. I flew up to Utah on the 13th and the rest of the family arrived on the 14th. 
My mom arranged for a mini family reunion with her brother's family and some of her cousins and their families that night. We had a great time hanging out. We have so much fun together! This picture is of us with our cousins...Keaton, Me, Robert, Colter, Donny, Kari, Lauren, and Hayden. 
It's always a party when we get together, regardless of where we are or what we are doing. Yes, we are in the restaurant playing Ligretto...the funnest card game EVER! Thank goodness we had a room to ourselves!

Here I am with Kari and Kelsey...they drove straight to the restaurant from Denver...it was so fun to see them and their kids!
Sunday morning we headed up to Katie's grave. It is still so hard to believe that it has been 10 years. He have a tradition. When we visit her grave on her anniversary, we take pics of the family and stick them all around her. It's amazing how much our families have grown and changed since she has been gone.
Kari, Kelsey, Donny, and I. It was very cold up there...but the cemetery she is buried in is beautiful!
After we finished at the cemetery, we went over to my Aunt and Uncle's house. My uncle Ray is my dad's brother. Their kids and their families came over to hang out. It was really fun to catch up with my cousins I haven't seen since we moved away from Utah almost 10 years ago. Here I am with my cousin Jared. Until I saw this picture, I knew I was short...but I didn't realize I was this short!
Here we all are...Kelsey, Kari, Jared, Alli, Walt, Donny, Me, and Amber. Of the two families, the only one missing from this picture is Ryan. It is so funny to see us all grown up with families and lives of our own...we all grew up together...for a while we lived just down the street from each other.
On Monday we spent the day in Salt Lake. It was great to have a weekend of just being with our family. We don't get enough opportunities to do that!
