Jarad's sister got married this past weekend which was the perfect excuse to go on vacation! We spent 6 days in Reno and had a great time.
Saying bye to Sadie- thanks to Kev & Lori for doggy-sitting for us!
(sorry for the bad pic)
We stayed at Jar's sister, Janna's place which was great because we got to spend lots of time with the fam.
Jarad and two of his nieces- Aleah & Mya
Jarad dancin' with the girls to some Michael Jackson! Those girls have some serious moves!
Where ever we go on a trip, if possible, we love to go to the local temple. So, Friday morning we headed to the Reno temple to do a session. It is a smaller temple but still very beautiful!

Friday night was the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. We helped put up some of the decorations for the reception and then on our way back for the rehearsal dinner at the Olive Garden, we passed and had to stop at the...
Chocolate Nugget! We got some chocolates and the most delicious taffy!
Saturday morning some of us went to get pedicures/manicures in preparation for the wedding.

Kayla & Ambar getting their toes done too.
Saturday afternoon was the wedding! The weather was great, everyone looked amazing and we're so happy for Janna & Devon!!
Aleah & Mya were the flower girls- so adorable!
Janna & Devon gettin' married! Congrats guys!
Jarad & I after the ceremony- now it's time to get the party started!
They had a candy bar- yummy! Jar's mom made cute little bags that the guests could put their candy in. Such a good idea!
There was also some good dancin'!
Much to Jarad's dismay....
There was also some good grub- Steve, Mya, Sienna and Lin chowin' down. :)
Our other niece- Sienna- so pretty!
The happy couple- Devon & Janna
Sunday we just relaxed and went to church. Then Monday, we went to a cool place for breakfast- Joe's Diner.
Jar & I (kinda looks like we're in a fish-bowl)
Ambar, Marina & Kayla
For lunch, we were able to go see some friends from when we lived in Utah that are now in medical school in Reno.
Alec, Tiffany & Reese and us- so good to see you guys!!
Monday evening, Devon & Janna came back from their short honeymoon and we all went up to Virginia City. It is an OLD town just outside of Reno.
Mya- ridin' cowboy!
Aleah- ride on!
We saw lots of old shops and even the sidewalks are wooden planks! They had some cool candy shops too.
Devon, Janna & the girls, Kayla and Jar (I was takin' the pic :))
On the way back, we stopped at look-out point and were able to see the whole Reno valley.
We climb up on this rock- Jar almost fell off and I was terrified!
Traditional self-portrait- just the two of us!
Sadly, Tuesday, we had to come back home to real life- but we had a great trip and are always happy to travel, especially to see family! Congratulations to Janna & Devon! And thanks for all the fun!
