I just returned from a wonderful trip out to Utah to visit Amy, Aaron, and their new baby Alexis!
It was a fairly quick trip (Thurs-Mon) but we packed in plenty of things and got to spend some quality time together. Thursday morning I arrived at the airport and met my dad and brother there. Amy carted us home and gave us a grand tour of their house. They basically re-did the whole house after they bought it and it looks great. My favorite part you ask? The sink in the downstairs bathroom! How sweet is that!?
After the tour of the house we went to the Tahitian Noni headquarters where there is a beautiful botanical garden. It was really cool to see because everything was so green and lush amidst the desert. It ended up being a scorcher that day so we didn't make it for too long!
Mom & Dad enjoying the gardens (especially the shade)!
The next day we spent out on the boat! It was a perfect day for wakeboarding - the water was glass! Plus it was another hot day, perfect for enjoying the breeze from the boat and the nice cool water. Here is Mike and I wakeboarding.
They also had a surf board that was a lot of fun, but unfortunately Mike had a bit of a mishap with the board and ended up with 2 black eyes!
The next day we had the baby blessing for Alexis. She was so well behaved the whole time and looked amazing in her beautiful dress!
There were almost 60 people in attendance to show their love for the little girl. Afterward, Amy & Aaron served up a great meal and we all ate outside.

On our last day in Orem, Utah the boys and girls split up. The boys went
shooting & dirt biking on the mountain side, while the girls went to the outlet mall (got some cute baby stuff).That night we celebrated my dad's 61st birthday (although his real birthday is today)!
Happy Birthday Dad!
For the rest of the night we played the game Scrabble Upwards which is soo addicting and really fun (especially when you keep messing up Amy's grand schemes ;) !
Here are some last pictures of all of us with Baby Alexis - can you believe Aaron's arm is long enough to get us all in a self portrait! Haha! Good to see you fam, can't wait to see the rest of the Meier clan at Xmas :)
It was so fun to have you here, glad that you enjoyed yourself too! You'll have to look for an upwords board and school all your friends. I am going through family withdrawls today and didn't get out of bed till 10:00:( So sad...
ReplyDeleteLooks like you accomplished a lot in a short time. Of course the Meier girls hit the mall (ha, ha). I was wondering how Mike got beat up.
