At the beginning of October we drove out to Utah for Richard and Toni's wedding. We were just recovering from some serious cases of croup that Nate and Eli had when it was time to go. We were a little worried but thankfully the trip went well. We left around 3am Thursday morning and got there that evening.
Eli loved taking a break from his seat and having a turn at the wheel:
The older kids were so excited to see snow in Nevada! It snowed quite a bit in Tooele on Friday and despite our lack of snow clothes, they loved playing in it:
Mostly they just loved playing with their cousins. Here's Nate and Lilly at the rehearsal dinner:
In fact, Nate hasn't stopped talking about his cousins. Just this morning he was moaning about how we don't live close enough to any of them.
We were worried about the weather for the outdoor wedding but when it was time for the ceremony, the sun was shining through the trees and it was beautiful. It was a bit cold later on, but it was still beautiful. I was so blown away by Toni's family (who made the wood arches, benches and tables) and how beautifully everything turned out. I mean check this out:

The good-looking couple:
I liked this one of Marsha with the guys and cute Jace, the ring bearer:
This is what I did for most of the reception:
Elijah was cold, still sick, and not having it so I tried to be the good wife and manage him while Joe performed his groomsman duties and caught up with family he doesn't see often. Despite a cranky baby at times, it really was a wonderful day.
We spent one more day up in Logan with Tom and Lorna watching Conference and then it was time drive home on Sunday. It was a quick but fun trip. Plus, we even got a great new family picture out of it (thanks to Tom!):
