Hotter than Hell in Havasu! (title by Tyler- ha,ha!)

I know it seems like this is all we talk about in the summertime, but it is getting soooo HOT here!!  High temps have been between 108 and 120 this week.  With the hotter temps people around here feel the need to wear less clothing which makes for interesting trips to the grocery store.  Needless to say we are getting very excited to head up north for some cooler weather and of course visiting our families! (Only 9 more days 'til we leave!)

A couple weeks ago a friend in the ward brought over a Dairy Queen gift card to us for watching their kids while she went with her husband to a Dr's appt.  It was so nice of her! So Monday night for FHE we went to Dairy Queen for ice-cream.  On our way there (it's about 15 min. across town) the little boys fell asleep so Tyler and I enjoyed blizzards all to ourselves- yum!

Tuesday evening we decided to go to the Lake.  It was Ryder's first time dipping his feet in the water and he didn't seem to mind it :)

Wednesday my friend Melinda who lives in the other ward hosted a Paparazzi jewelry party combined with a baby shower.  It was a little awkward at times, but turned out pretty well.

Thursday we went to the Lake with our friends, the Batts.  They have a 7 month old who is smaller than Ryder!! They also have a son who is Max's age.  Everyone had a great time and the 80 degree water felt so nice compared to the 118 degrees + outside!! It was perfect for little Ryder who enjoyed his first swim in the lake. 

On our way home from the Lake we stopped and picked up a Bumbo seat for Ryder.  His chubby little legs barely (verily) fit through the leg openings.  He loves being able to be up where he can see everything.

Friday we went to the 99cent store and got watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes & pineapple for a fruit salad.  It is sooo yummy! Their produce seems to be just as good or better than Smith's and it is a whole lot cheaper!

Saturday we spent the day doing things around the house.  I prepared a last-minute sharing time lesson and Tyler puttied the holes in the molding around the pantry door.  It's been over a year since we got the door in!!  Glad to have it done.  Now we just need to paint :)

I saw this shirt online a couple days ago and it made me laugh!  We think they'd be perfect for Max and Levi :)

We are getting so excited to come see everyone! Can't wait!!
