stadium of fire {july 3}

To celebrate the 4th we went to the stadium of fire with Mike's family.

Some highlights:

-cringing to the MAAKOA mic yelling

-going back to the boy band days circa 1999 with the 2nd generation Osmonds

-being completely blown away by Carrie Underwood

Carrie was seriously amazing. She's one of those performers who are even better live. She started the night singing the national anthem which left us a little teary-eyed. Some favorites from the concert: Temporary Home, Jesus Take the Wheel, and of course All-American Girl.

The night was complete with the incredible fireworks show! (which became even more exciting when a firework went into the audience, yikes)

Thanks Adams family for the fun night!

golf {all summer long}

I never knew how much Mike liked playing golf until this summer. But I'll admit I've been catching a little bit of the golf bug too :) We've played so much golf this summer with friends & family. These few pictures are from golfing with Ash & Andrew at the beautiful Red Ledges course.

birthday bash {june 12}

My 23rd birthday was the best day EVER. Seriously, it was fabulous. I woke up and enjoyed delicious cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Then I went with my mom and sister to Nordstrom for a makover and of course new makeup purchases. Cafe Rio for lunch. Then I hung out with my hubby in the afternoon and enjoyed a bike ride, sushi, and decorated for my awesome party that night.

My mom provided the delicious cake from 'Nothing Bundt Cakes'. White chocolate raspberry w/cream cheese frosting. Definitely the best cake I've ever eaten. (Yes, even better than all the wedding cakes I tasted working at the Alpine Art Center).

Don't you just love birthdays?

summer catchup

I know, I know, I've been TOTALLY slacking on the blogging. This summer has been so crazy and busy with work, CPA studying (1 down, 3 to go!), family reunions, vacations etc. I'm going to try my best to catch you all up on our fun summer in the next few posts.
