Cooper Reunion

On Sunday, July 8th, we had a Cooper reunion down at the square in Wellsville.  Of course, the food was great and it was nice to see everyone.  I told April to tease Sherrie about "being with child" and to rub her belly.  It was funny to see Sherrie's reaction.....though, she knew I was behind it all!

After we ate dinner, we walked over by the tabernacle and took some big family pictures.  It was hard to get all the great grand kids to look at the camera. We took lots and lots of pictures.  Its the first time my entire family has been together in 4 years and that was in Texas for Sean and Kellye's wedding....so it's been all long time since we've all been in Utah at the same time!

The kids had a great time playing in the water that runs downs the street sides in Wellsville.  As a kid, I always thought that "running water" was so cool and I always wanted to play in it.  Well, Clayton thought it was great and he spent most of his time down there.

Some of the kids went over to the park to play on the playgound and the adults played football and frisbie and just sat around visiting and enjoying the shade. Conrad entertained Cooper and Addey with monkey impersonations. 

This reunion was kind of a birthday celebration for Grandpa Cooper's 87th b-day.  We all signed a card and donated money to buy him a new church suit.  He said, "I probably won't be alive long enough to wear it."  Silly man!!  We love and adore this kind hearted man.  We will forever be blessed and affected by his tender hugs and Christ-like example!
