Justin Strong's Wedding

We drove to Mesa, AZ on Thursday, July 10. We made it in 15 hours and 40 minutes, only stopping for gas and restroom breaks. We ate all our meals in the car. The kids were so happy to be out of the car. We stayed at Dallin's sister Melinda's house and the kids had a great time playing with their cousins. All of Dallin's 6 siblings were here for the wedding, along with every spouse and grandkid. It was a great time!

Dallin's youngest brother Justin was married on July 12 in the Mesa Temple. His wife Tanya is so fun and sweet. We're excited to have her in the family!A rare picture of Dallin & I together...one of us is usually behind the camera.

Savannah LOVED the flowers on the cake and got to take a bunch home after...

Connor with Aunt Alisha Strong. We had a room set up for the kids to be able to go in and watch a movie. It was GREAT! They just wandered between there and the reception all evening.
Jacob was such a good helper at the reception. He assigned himself to open the door for people as they were coming in. Then later Carrie asked him to help clear tables. After he'd done a couple I saw him over by the garbage drinking out of the cups. He thought he wasn't allowed to dump the drinks into the garbage so he was drinking the leftovers! He was just trying to be a good boy. Luckily I caught him after only a couple.
