My very good friend, Jason, FINALLY married his best gal, Karen, on June 28th. I couldn't be happier for him because he has settled down with a fantastic lady. I think the best part of the weekend was seeing old friends! Some I haven't seen since my own wedding 7 years ago. Others I haven't seen since college! We were able to relax by the pool before the wedding, we did a lot of laughing, and really enjoyed our weekend among friends!
On Sunday, the 29th, we headed back home so that I could do some laundry and repack my suitcase. I headed up to the cabin with my sister on Monday, the 30th to be up there for the 4th of July celebrations. Prince Charming stayed at home so that he could get some much needed work accomplished at his job. He was certainly missed, but he did surprise us by coming up for one day! YAY! 
Anyway, we spent our time staying cool (a nice 75 degrees compared to the 105 in Phoenix), building blocks, digging up dirt with the dump trucks, going on nightly rides in the buggy, and getting into regular little boy mischief. 
We did have a great 4th of July celebration! We decorated the buggy and rode in the Bullfrog Loop parade. We actually won a prize! We got some t-shirts. I wonder what the winners received. Perhaps we will steal the title next year. After the parade we filled our bellies with yummy food before heading back to the cabin for a much needed nap! The week I was at the cabin passed too quickly. Once again, it was time to head down the mountain. Prince Charming, my Sis, and I left the cabin on the 5th. We got home with just enough time to do some laundry and eat some dinner before heading to the airport to get on a plane bound for Las Vegas. Vegas, baby! I wish I could say we were going there for leisure. I had a Baby Boot Camp conference to attend and Prince Charming tagged along. I had a great time at my conference and learned a lot. Prince Charming said that he will bring his own fun next time. :) We did manage to get out to see a show. We saw "O" at the Bellagio and it was fantastic! Of course we had to leave a deposit at the bank of Las Vegas before leaving. We love ourselves some blackjack! Overall it was a great trip, but I was ready to get back and go get the boys! We got back home on the evening of the 8th.
After a morning of scrambling around and trying to get things done, I headed back up to the cabin on the 9th. This time I was alone. The boys were pretty excited to see me, but also were hoping to see Dad and Aunt J as well. Good thing I came armed with presents from the M&M store in Vegas! The rest of the week was spent preparing the boys, mostly B, for our return home. B told me every day that he didn't want to go home and that he wants to live at the cabin forever. I don't blame him, it is fun there! I tried to soak in as much cool weather as possible because it is so darn hot at home! My dad did get a new toy while we were there. He bought a remote controlled airplane. We spent a while out on the golf course one evening playing with it. The boys were responsible for retrieving the plane once it crashed. As much fun as it was, it didn't last. The poor thing suffered a broken wing and then a destroyed tail wing. Replacement parts were ordered and hopefully my Dad is practicing right this very moment! I will put up a video at the end of this post so that you can enjoy our attemps at flying that thing! All in all, it was a great 2 weeks. As crazy and fast paced as it was, I enjoyed all of our stops along the way. I am very glad to be home and back into the swing of things. I think the boys are glad, too. Thanks Amee and Papa for taking care of the boys so that we could galavant all over the Southwest. We really appreciated all of the help.
Now, it is off to mediate a "discussion" between the boys about dump trucks and who gets to play with which one.
