We're almost there: we're almost to the end of our trip. The last stop on our trip was Hannah and Preston's wedding.
It start on Thursday. Thursday the 13th we got home from the reunion, threw in a load of laundry and ditched the boys with the kids and ran up to Salt Lake to get our nails done, which we were late to, and then Jess and I spent an hour driving around Salt Lake because we read the invite wrong so we missed the yoga. But we made it to the cookie eating, so that counts right?
Friday morning was prep day. I spent who-knows-how-long ironing everyone's clothes for the wedding while the aunts chopped and cut and chopped some more. It was fun being with the aunts all day--all the good-natured gossip. I
love my family.
That night was the rehersal dinner. And Greg finally got his revenege.
Hannah was 13 the first time she met Greg and she thought it was soooo funny to sit on his lap and hold his hand and in all other ways harass him until we got married. She probably danced with him at our wedding more than I did. So when Hannah's future father-in-law opened the mic at the rehersal dinner, Greg sahred this story, then sat on Preston's lap. Sweet revenge.

| Trying to take a cute couple picture over the beautiful valley but the lighting wasn't super awesome |
The next day was the wedding. First was family pictures.
 |
| I tried to get a good picture of all 3 kids for the wallpaper for my phone, but Henry was mostly done |
Then the wedding. Which was lovely. I actually listened to the ceremony this time (fancy that, I actually paid attention), the sealing ceremony and promises are pretty amazing. Better than we can even imagine.
Then more pictures.

| Why are my kids so adorable? |
 |
| Henry finally passed out around 5 after not having a nap all day |
Then to the reception, which was nice. Henry slept through the whole thing. Hallejulah! More hanging out with my family, a little family dance that we were an 8-count off to end the father-daughter dance, my kids hanging out inside watching TV because they were just too tired (I told them they only had to behave until after pictures at the temple and they did just that), Greg prefected his car decorating skills, sparklers and really sore feet.
We cleaned up, drove back to American Fork, and passed out. We were going to hang out all of Sunday and drive straight through to Kansas on Monday, but the thought just made me sick, so we left for Wyomming Sunday afternoon, and so started the long drive home--which we've already discussed.

| Rex took over my phone |
 |
| He found some cousins to be mischeivous with |
 |
| Rex refused to dance. He has refused to dance most of his life. |
 |
| Greg spent the reception decorating the car. I don't think Greg has ever been to a wedding reception. |
 |
| I had fun finally getting some alone time with Jess and really getting to know her. |
 |
| These are the ladies I spent Robins Reunions with my whole childhood. Right after this picture, my grandpa came to take another picture and said, "Smile if you like sex!" I nearly wet myself. Grandparents are supposed to say that. |

| First dance |
 |
| Finished product |

| Good bye. |
Why are your kids so adorable? Good genes.
