The Flipped Around Fairytale

A few weeks ago when Laura and Kevin were here watching the kids for us while we were in Italy, Kevin made this movie with the kids! We think it is hilarious! Hope you do too!

UPDATE

Today I spent a few minutes downloading all the pictures from my camera to my computer and realized I haven't updated my blog in a very long time. Here we are at the end of June and I have pictures on my camera from mid May! We've had a fun few weeks so here is the update:

Kendall and Jamie's Wedding
Yesturday I flew to Utah for the day to attend my cousin Kendall's wedding! It was such a beautiful day for them and I absolutely adore Jamie. She is so cute, and fun and friendly. She's the type of person who you feel like you've known her forever when you only just met.
At the wedding I was able to see my cousin Amy's little baby Drew! He is absolutely adorable and I'm sooooo happy for Amy and her Husband Silas. Amy and I are only a year a part in age and we have always been close. She has helped me with my kids when they were babies and it is now soooo fun to see her with her own little one!
Between the wedding and the luncheon, mom, dad, Julie, Jim, Sherrie and I all decided to go visit Grandpa Scadlock's gravesite. None of us, except mom, had been there since his funeral 3 years ago so it was nice to go visit. We took flowers and then Jim and Dad teed up a Golf Ball. Grandpa LOVED to golf and taught them both to love it too!

GFG (Guilt Free Golf) Weekend



GFG is a golf trip that my dad, Adam, Ryan, Steve and TJ have started taking once a year. This year was their 3rd year in a row having this trip and it is something they all look so forward to! Between the 5 of them, they have invited other friends and family members to come and have come up with a great group of 16 guys to come with them. This year the trip was to my parent's cabin in British Columbia. They had a BLAST playing all the beautiful courses and hanging out just the guys. The best part about this weekend is there is absolutely NO GUILT! They can golf all they want with no wives giving them a hard time about it.


Thankfully the weather, which threatened the whole week prior to be absolutely terrible, turned out to be perfect. A Fabulous time was had by all!

Girls Trip
June started out with my much anticipated and looked forward to Annual Girls Trip! This year was a bit different as many of the girls weren't able to make the trip. We went to my mom's house in So. California and though we missed our "missing friends, had a great relaxing time. Our days consisted of working out in the mornings, going to the beach for the afternoon and dinner and movie in the evenings! I am so blessed to have such great friends who need and love "Girl Time" as much as I do! Relaxing at the Beach!! GORGEOUS (the weather and the girls :-)
Lunch at Ruby's on the Pier in Balboa
Brecken convinced us all to rent one of these bike thingys! It was really fun to ride along the boardwalk and see the beautiful beach homes and enjoy the ocean breeze! Good call Breck!
After our morning run...and yes, Erin did run with us, 7 1/2 months pregnant! What a woman!
Tamara, Brecken and I all bought these HOBO wallets before the trip, without knowing it! We all absolutely LOVE them and wouldn't stop talking about how great hey are all weekend long! Erin got quite sick of hearing about it but one day, hmmmmm, say in July......... she'll be singing the HOBO praises too!!!

Our last day all together in CA! Soooo sad it's over but soooo happy we had such a great time!

MarJane's Birthday

While I was in California for the Girls Trip, my Mother in Law celebrated her 60th Birthday. Adam was able to fly in for the day to help fulfill MarJane's birthday wish to have all her children together to celebrate. Adam was also able to be ordained a High Priest by his father while we were there as Adam was called to the Bishopric in our ward the week before. President Griffith was able to be there which was very special since he had been Adam's Bishop when he turned 12 years old and became a Deacon. All of Adam's siblings and spouses were able to be there which make it a very special day.

Afterwards, the party began and we all went to dinner at the Center Club and had a wonderful time, just the 10 of us (plus Gracie), celebrating Mom's birhtday! We answered some fun questions about her and her life and watched a wonderful video that Laura and Kevin put together. The dinner was yummy and the company was fabulous! Happy Birthday Mom! We Love You!

BYU Father and Sons Basketball Camp

Over Memorial Day Weekend I sent Spencer and Adam to Utah to attend the BYU Father and Sons Basketball Camp with TJ and Jackson. I forgot to send my camera along with them so am hoping the camp will post pictures with them soon. They had an absolutely awesome time! They got to sleep in the dorms, eat in the cafeteria and meet some of the BYU basketball team members. It was a great time and they are already talking about next year!


Memorial Day Weekend

The weekend was filled with babysitting, a Rockies game and folding laundry! With Adam and Spence gone I watched Brecken's twins, Soren and London for one night and then hung out with the kids and folded laundry for the rest of the weekend! I know you are all jealous about the amazing weekend I had!! :-)


The Rockies game was a blasts! I got a babysitter for the boys and Annie and I drove downtown to see the Rockies play. We had SOOOOO MUCH fun! I was laughing to myself as we cheered on the Rocks thinking "how many moms and daughters would have this much fun at a Rockies game with their daughter?" A baseball game together is seriously the PERFECT mother/daughter date night for Annie and I! We both cheered our little hearts out as the Rockies took the game into overtime. It was sooooo late after 12 innings so we finally left, and heard them win in the bottom of the 13th inning!

Mother Daughter Date Night Annie LOVES her some Rockies!
Matt Holliday (A family Favorite)

While the twins were here I had a blast doing London's hair. Since Annie never lets me do anything fun to her hair, I took advantage of the fact that London LOVES to have her hair done! She was a perfect little angel, held still and talked my ear off while I put in all the cute "piggies"! London's piggies

Father and Sons Campout

Our ward Father and Sons campout was in May! The boys were SOOOO excited to go. This is the first year Adam was able to go with all three boys! Camping is not Adam's favorite thing to do but he happily took the boys and ended up having a great time! He even took a few pictures for me! Good job honey!

Garett's 6th Birthday
Garett turned 6 in May and was able to celebrate two times! What kids wouldn't be ecstatic about 2 birthdays? The first was just a small family night spent eating at Red Robbin and then opening presents! The 2nd was a big Birthday Party at Monkey Bizness (a huge bouncey house warehouse) where lots of kids from school came to spend a few hours of fun! This year G shared his party with a cute little girl in our ward who was also in his class. Haylee is only 10 days younger and since they were inviting mostly all the same kids her mom and I decided to join forces! It was a ton of fun for both birthday kids and the moms had fun too! :-)

Kindergarden Graduation

Garett had a big month with turning 6 and graduating from Kindergarden. On "graduation day" they had a cute little program at the school and then a little class party afterwards! G insisted on wearing his suit for the special occasion. I don't think he was prepared for the attention he'd get from looking so handsome. When he crossed the "stage" to pick up his diploma his teacher called out his name and then said "Who I have to say is the handsomest kid in town!" Everyone nodded and agreed! I can't believe his is now a first grader!

Looking very Handsome (and pleased with himself!)
