utah visit

While in Utah, we spent hit up our favorite places to eat, made lots of visits, and went to a BYU game. It was nice taking a little break from work, and spending quality time with friends & family.

grandma

My dear grandma zwick returned home to heavenly father. She was one of the most christ-like women I've ever met. She always made everyone around her feel so loved. I especially love that she always made me feel important, and never missed a state tennis match, musical play, birthday phone call, or countless other special occasions. She sewed my baptism dress and made the best texas sheath cake ever. I miss her so much, but I know she's continuing her service on the other side. I can't wait to see her again.

my tough mudder man

{crawling through mud, swimming through ice water, climbing up a rope, running through electrical wires, balancing on beams, jumping off a plank, bobbing under water barrels, swinging on greased monkey bars...}

These are just some of the obstacles my tough hubby went though, all the while running 12 miles up and down the mountainous squaw valley terrain. 

It was so much fun spending time in tahoe with some of our friends. We all stayed in a cabin together, and while the guys were proving their toughness in the race, us girls hung out and took the gondola up to watch a few of the obstacles. They did so great!

Yay Mike!

mike is 25!

Mike's birthday conveniently fell on labor day this year which means we had birthday celebrations all weekend long! The family came in town from AZ to celebrate with us. It was a fun-filled weekend - beach, shopping, pedicures for the girls, golf for the boys, giants v. dbacks game, and LOTS of yummy food. Unfortunately I was lame and only took a couple pictures with my phone...

Mike & his delicious birthday cake from Suzie Cakes.

The whole gang out to dinner at Bobo's. Best. Steak. Ever.
Thanks for coming to visit Adams Family!

*And for all you Bachelor/Bachelorette fans out there...
When I picked up mike's birthday cake in the marina, I spotted this lovely guy, and took a pretty obvious paparazzi pic with my phone - at least he looked :)
