Happy Birthday Max!

We hope you had a wonderful day.  We wish we could bottle up your excitement and take a little for ourselves each day.

Anniversary

We celebrated our anniversary twice...once on the actual date and then again on the weekend.  On Wednesday we went to Lamb's Grill for dinner.  Seth took me to here the night we got engaged.

We headed to the Salt Lake Temple for a session and sealings.  We had a little time before the session started so we visited the temple model in the visitor's center.  If you haven't seen it yet, you should stop by, especially if you have kids.

We finished the night off with a little marzipan.  We decided not freeze our wedding cake last year...instead we started the tradition of a fresh cake every anniversary.

Friday evening we headed up to Park City.  We had planned to do some mini-golf at the Park City Mountain Resort but their mini-golf course was pathetic...so we decided to hit up the outlets instead.  The next morning we headed to the Utah Olympic Park.  This is the site were athletes from the country come to train.  We saw lots of jumps, flips and tricks.

We watched the flying aces show after eating a picnic on the lawn.  The group jumps were definitely the most impressive.

We also visited the museum and learned about the history of skiing.

We also watched a few bobsleds round the track.  Next time we hope to ride in one.

We drove back to Salt Lake and caught Captain America at the movie theater and then finished the day off with a trip to the taco street cart.  Happy Anniversary!

One Year = Wedded Bliss

A year ago I married my best friend and our happily ever after began.  One year down...eternity to go...can't wait for all the blissful moments ahead.

Super Saturday

This past Saturday .we started the morning out by taking in the last Harry Potter movie.  Matt and Emily joined us for the epic conclusion to this film franchise.  We were lucky enough to get some free glasses and wands...as well as drinks and doughnuts. 

I found the picture below in my Facebook archives.  It was taken the night the final book came out.  We pre-ordered our books and picked them up at midnight.  My sister has questioned why everyone seems to be so obsessed with Harry Potter...after reading 7 books...you get a little invested.  

After the movie we headed out to Lagoon and spent the day hanging with Jamie and Jotham's family.  We caught this picture of them on BomBora.  

Then we headed to a s'mores party up Millcreek canyon with some friends.  It was fun to visit with friends we haven't seen for almost a year.

Then we headed up to Snowbird Ski resort to enjoy a relaxing remainder of the weekend with Sarah and Joe.  They had a beautiful two bedroom condo with a personal hot tub that they offered to share with us.  It was absolutely beautiful up there.  

Hazel Mae and the Full Moon

Hazel Mae, our newest niece, arrived July 13th.  We couldn't resist the opportunity to meet this little one in the hospital, so on Friday we drove down.  Hazel's very talented mother took the picture below.  We can't wait to see pictures of all the moments she captures.

After our stop at the hospital we drove up to Sundance Ski Resort for a Full Moon lift ride.  It would have been very romantic...but almost every other person coming down the lift was shouting "Marco" as they passed.  Nevertheless a good time was had by all.

Draper Temple

This past week we visited the Draper temple.  We ran into a few friends and a little wind on our way out.

ReAL vs Dallas

Last week we went to a ReAL Salt Lake Soccer game.  My favorites: the huge flag making its way across the fans, the sunset, and the 2-0 score.
