Heat Wave

We had quite the heat wave here last week. We broke all kinds of records and the peak of the heat measured 106 degrees. That's hot. AC is not common around here (there is usually only one week in August you might want it) so we were sweating it out. The stores sold out of fans, AC units, and kiddie pools. This is how we tried to stay cool.

We went to the lake! Some shade and a breeze goes a long way!

"Grandpa" Earl (our cousin's other grandpa) took us out on his boat. It was great fun. I tried to water ski. No luck.

We spent most of the time naked. I was just too dang hot to wear anything.

We spent lots of time out on the porch swing.

We are back to normal temperatures where humans can thrive. It was real, it was not fun, and it was definitely not real fun.

Doing the Laundry with Mom

My good little helper.

Just Plain Cute

I love these two boys. That's all there is to it.

Birthday!

Yay for me! Thanks for a great day family, I loved every minute of it!

Mariners Game

We went to a Seattle Mariners baseball game last night. Sterling had never been to any kind of professional sporting event. It was LDS night so we got to sit by all sorts of Mormons. This means the beer guy came by once and only once and we didn't have to tolerate the annoying drunk people. We did have to tolerate the millions of kids however, but my two where part of the mayhem so it wasn't so bad.

Me and Griff. We cheered really hard for Griffey. Get it? Griffin, Griffey. Go Griff!

Mesha and her favorite person. She was so wiggly. I think we might wait till she is a little older to take her to something like this again.

Griff didn't make it till the end. Good thing Aunt KK is nice and snugly to sleep on!

Our cousins came with us! We love our cousins!

Big Boy

Being 4 months means all sorts of fun things including the exersaucer! Yay for self entertainment!

Look at that handsome man in the mirror!

Griff also enjoys the Bumbo for short periods at a time. We will have to build up to it I guess.

Mesha is living a second babyhood. What am I to do with her?

He Rolls!

Griffin just rolled over for the first time today. Tummy to back. I pulled out the camera and he performed perfectly! That's right, you are witnessing the second roll EVER by little Griff! Yay Griffin!
