Our Weekend

This past weekend Chris and I went to out Emergency Preparedness Fair. We are one of the couples in our ward that help out with this type of stuff and it was a great success. One of the fun parts of the event was that a fire truck, ambulances, and even air med came and landed for the kids to look at. They all talked a little bit about what they do and what the kids should do in an emergency and if they see them all dressed up not to be scared. They also were letting the kids get in all the vehicles and even the helicopter. Chase being as small as he is was getting right in there and climbing up on everything.

The information was perfect and I am glad that we attended and were able to learn some valuable things ourselves.

Getting Ready for our Fun Day!Taking a pic with the firemen.All the kids loved the helicopter. The landing and take off was the best!Just a little pic from our Sunday afternoon. I guess church can be very tiring.

Rascal Flatts

Last minute, Melissa, Amy and I decided to go to the Rascal Flatts Concert! It was 5:30 when I started to get calls from the both of them saying someone was going to send us to the concert...I was excited and shocked and EXCITED! So I basically split the cost of my ticket with a stranger...Yep! Someone I have never met! Most of you are probably thinking what the heck is she talking about, but if you really want to know you will have to talk to me, or Melissa, or Amy! Thanks though to my stranger friend, and Chris for sending me to the concert and Chris for watching the kids while we went! I had a blast! I cannot even remember the last time I went to a concert and for this one to be my first in over 2 years was SO much fun!

For those of you who were not there I did not want you to miss out! So here is a little bit of the beginning of the concert! Pure screaming, but SO much fun!

Chase did not get a nap so this was him right before we left. Kids can really fall asleep anywhere!Amy coming and I one our way to get Melissa
Lets get this party started!The confetti was crazy at the end like white conditions! :) This is the end of it!

Anyone ever drop there keys down the elevator shaft?

Well today was just one of those days! I was trying to get lots done and it seems the littlest things always happen when you are rushing things along. I had my ultrasound appointment at 1:30 today. I wanted Chase to get a good nap so I woke him up right before we were supposed to leave....In my rush to get to the appointment on time I actually passed the exit....No Big Deal! But while getting on the elevator after the ultrasound to go see the doctor my keys fell down the elevator shaft! Arghh! Please someone tell me that has happened to them! Well we called around and no luck in getting them today! Let's hope I have good news in the morning!

Confirmed....it is a healthy baby boy! It was so good to see him in the little ultrasound. He is already so cute to me. I could actually see his little lips which makes me think...no Coates lips for him! Lucky! But that will not be confirmed until birth! We are so excited for him to get here!
Only 4 months to go! Time is flying!

Chase was there with us while looking at the ultrasound and he kept pointing to the monitor calling it a fishy! HHHMMMM! I guess thats what the little guy looked like to him.

Rockin the Chop Sticks!

Last night we hit a new little place in AF called the Hibachi House. It was pretty good food and great prices, but the best part of dinner for us was the entertainment! Chase was determined to use one chop stick to eat his noodles. Of course I could not resist and had to get some pics.

He had a fork in his hand the whole time as well, but would only eat with that dang chop stick!I guess if the chop stick is not working out you have to improvise!I sure do love this little guy!

Key to My Heart!

Well Chris and I had a great Valentines weekend. It is one of those holidays where both of always says lets not do anything and then we find ourselves giving in and doing something small. Hey...I still love the surprise in that. On Friday Chris showed up with flowers, and an Apple Pie apple from Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory, and to top it off Chocolate strawberries....That boy knows the key to my heart! I loved it all! We had a pretty laid back Saturday and ordered in Subway on Saturday night! It was perfect! On Sunday Chris surprised me and after church he said, "Pack your bags..." We had a little overnighter and it was PERFECT! Believe it or not we did not gamble, we just hung out and enjoyed hanging out together! What a great weekend and what a great hubby for all of my little surprises! I sure do love that guy!

And thanks to Carolyn for spending the night with Chase he loved every minute of it!

Chocolate..The key to my heart! :)Enjoying our yummy steak and crab dinner!Of course we had to stop at the Bonneville Salt Flats Speedway
Honestly the real key to my heart is Chase! He says and does the cutest little things and is just growing up WAY to fast! He just amazes us every day...the sweetest thing is to see your little guy fold his arms and remind you to say prayer. At lunch the other day we sat down and of course I started to eat. Chase just sat there with his arms folded and then I realized he wanted me to say prayer! Oh what our little ones will teach us!

Lovin the New King Bed!

Well about a week ago Chris and I decided to FINALLY upgrade to a king bed!
The word to describe the way I feel about this decision.....HEAVEN!

I never knew how happy a king bed would make me, but lets be honest we are not getting any smaller so we needed to do something that would help us sleep better and this was the trick.
I can never go back to a queen again!

Just a pic of my sweet baby boy who is loving the jumping action on this king bed lately!

It a Boy!

Well she was 90% sure it was a boy! My mom said she would pay if I went and got an early ultra sound.(Thanks Mom!) Of course I could not pass that up so I set off for an ultra sound. Chris had no idea, but when he came home I had the kitchen decorated in blue streamers with the ultra sound pics and a banner letting him know what our new addition would be. I have to admit we both kinda thought that it was a little girl coming our way, but are excited to have another little man in he house and a brother for Chase. Looks like I am out numbered! We are very excited and cannot wait for #2 to be here already. I will post pics soon I was just too lazy to go down stairs and and scan pics in. (Silly I know...)
