Coates Family Weekend

As I left Blackfoot to travel to Utah I thought to myself {this should be easy, its Noah's nap time, the girls always fall asleep in the car, I soooo have things under control}. Glance 1 hour into our trip. Brad is verging on missing his flight because I had to overnight his license to him FedEx. FedEx hadn't delivered! I am on the phone trying to figure out what the heck happened to "overnight guarantee". I have already stopped on 4 exit ramps to replace binkies that have fallen out, Noah is definitely NOT taking his nap. Instead he is screaming "I STUCK" {obviously he is "stuck" in his car seat}, both babies are crying uncontrollably and there is nothing I can do about it. So I just drive. I blare church music to tune them out (and to hopefully calm them). I start singing along to the music. I never get spiritual time, so by the time I am to track 2 I am tearing up, singing, feeling ultra spiritual. Great now all 4 of us are crying. Oh Boy. What I would have given to be an innocent bystander watching our car full. It would have been hilarious. We were so the stereotypical young LDS family. Probably could have made a movie out of it. Anyways, we all made it. Somehow.

The reason for our big adventurous trip to SLC was Brad's cousin Chris' wedding. NeeNee and Pops flew out for the weekend too! I LOVE IT when there is a good reason to all get together! :)

Get ready for a picture overload {thanks TeeTee}....

It was so great to have a Coates' Family Weekend. We love spending time with Brad's family and his extended family {Jen & Chris,..we so wish we lived closer. Chase and Noah would be bestest buds}. We wish these get-togethers could happen more often!
