Our Summer

We have had a really fun summer and have been able to do so many fun things! Here are a few highlights:

Date nights

Jane, Hannah and Ben came to visit from Florida. It was so fun spending some time with this little cutie!


We were able to go to Europe with the Eichers family. We spent ten days in Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic. 

Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany

Boat tour on the Danube River, Austria

Prague, Czech Republic

My 24th Birthday

Oakley Rodeo


Boating with the Jensen's

 I was able to go to Logan with Karen, Ali, and Babsie to see My Fair Lady.

Yummy chocolate soda in Logan!

Adam and Chelsey came in town to work on some Hires stuff and we were lucky enough to hang out with them. We all went to Sushi Groove and had a fun weekend with them.

Sam's 24th Birthday! We had a little surprise party at our house for him. It was definitely more stressful than I thought to get everything together without him knowing. Also, this is the first year he was able to have a Backer's cake because they are usually closed around July 25th.


Jon and Karen gave me tickets to the Utah Symphony's Disney concert at Deer Valley for my birthday. We were loving singing along to all our favorite songs. 


We went on our annual trip to Newport Beach this year with my family. It was so fun to relax for a whole week! We also stayed in a new place this year which we loved!

Adam and Chelsey were so nice to come visit us. We went to Ruby's and to Balboa for Balboa bars after. 

Crab cooker!

The girls!

Lunch at the Lion House with Grandma and Grandpa Eichers.

Wicked!


The first Utah game of the season!

Vegas

Two weekends ago, we were lucky to get away for a couple days to Las Vegas. We had been looking forward to this trip for months and were so excited to spend some time relaxing, eating, shopping, and going to the Sevens rugby tournament. We stayed at the Pilazzo, which was so much fun! It had the Grand Lux Cafe in the casino where we ate a few too many times...  The gym at the hotel was also amazing...it had a rock climbing wall which I thought was pretty cool. Here are some highlights of the trip! 
On Friday night, we went the the "O" Show and it was amazing!!!! Sam and I love the water so we loved this show. If anyone hasn't seen it I would recommend it. We loved all the synchronized swimming, diving, and acrobatics. Basically the whole stage is a massive swimming pool.

It was also fun to walk around the strip and see everything that was going on. We thought Vegas wouldn't be too crowded since it wasn't a holiday weekend but it was still really busy.

On Saturday, we went to the Rugby Sevens tournament to cheer on Samoa! It was fun to sit with all the Samoans and cheer with them. Samoa even won the whole tournament, which Sam was pretty happy about.


Since, there was a 3 to 4 hour wait for Serendipity when we were in New York over Christmas Break, we decided to have frozen hot chocolate on Saturday night. It was so good!

We left Sunday afternoon and unfortunately hit a huge blizzard between Cedar City and Beaver so we had to stay in Beaver for the night. Our hotel was pretty creepy and they said we got free breakfast at Roberto's across the street at the Flying J which sounded pretty scary... Luckily, we were able to make it home safe and sound!
