Jen & Matt's Wedding Extravaganza!

On Friday my cute, little sister Jenny got married!! We love her husband who's name is also Matt :) and are just so excited for them! It was such a wonderful week so this post is LONG! Wednesday evening we had seriously the most fun open house ever up in Logan. Matt's family did a wonderful job! It was at this amazing place that was huge and they had a bounce houses, a photo booth, a mechanical bull, ping pong, the famous Aggie ice cream .... yeah crazy right? My kids thought they were in heaven!

Yeah now I am riding the stupid bull, but it really was so fun!
We lucked out on their wedding day and didn't have any rain at the temple ... it was gorgeous. Right after we went their dinner and reception at LaCaille and just had such a good time. Really everything turned out perfect and it was such a neat thing to see them get married!

I just love this wild, little thing!!
Doesn't Matt look awesome? Yep I think so!
