It's toasty

It's not usually too hot here, and the weather is rather dry. Running an evaporative cooler generally keeps our house at a nice 75- 85 (perfect for me since I tend to get cold). However, today it's 108, and the forecast is for thunderstorms- which means it's humid and my swamp cooler adding water to my air isn't exactly cooling things off. Turns out our ac is out of refrigerant. Lucky for me the H Vac man is willing to come pump it up for us today. Looking forward to dropping the temp in here (house is hitting above 90 and needless to say, we're all too hot). If the kids weren't sick from the sudden temp hike, we'd be in the pool. Instead, everyone is just plain hot- and sick too, poor kiddos. Can't wait for those thunderstorms to start!

Funny Baby

We are potty training Alex, who is doing quite well. Today I gave him his first pair of underwear. He got so excited and kept singing about his, "big girl pammies" (panties). Obviously he has an older sister.

A little word of advice

After church on Sunday-
"Daddy, next time if you say we are going to Disneyland instead of church then we will be so happy!"

reflective weather

Today is the last day of cold wear has been weather- or so it's being reported. This year has been unusually cold and windy with bouts of warmer more normal weather in between- just enough to get me to put my winter clothing away, and mother nature just laughs. Today I get to wear those jeans I love and bundle up the cuties for one last windy morning at the park this year.

And now it begins- gardening, yard work, pool cleaning, popsicles, bbqs, swimming, beach days... I'm so ready. Summer, we've been waiting for you! Welcome back. This year, however, there will be no college students in our home, and we can't wait for some free time.
