Finally Cooling Down!

Ryder and I are home from Church today.  Sad to say I think I'm getting a sinus infection- boo :(  So I decided to do our post while everyone else is gone and it's quiet.

Nothing too exciting this week- Primary was in charge of cleaning the Church yesterday morning so Tyler and I took all the kids to go help clean except Jon, who was at a birthday party.  I thought we were going to be the only ones there but a few other people showed up which was a welcome surprise.  It seems like it's the same few people who are there each time.  Afterwards we went to get donuts and chocolate milk- YUM!- but talk about a sugar rush! Then it was off to pick up Jon and go to his football game.  He's really enjoying playing this year and has a lot of fun.

It's finally cooling down a little here in Havasu so the kids have been able to play outside a lot and we've had the windows and doors open in the mornings and evenings to let the cool-ish air in.  Crazy as it sounds, the air outside must be too cool for some little critters because look what Tyler found scurrying across the floor the other night while watching Duck Dynasty!!

It's not a very clear picture because Tyler didn't want to get too close to it, but this is a SCORPION!!! INSIDE OUR HOUSE!!  We've lived here almost 2 1/2 years and haven't come across one- even outside!  So I was kind of freaked out and the next few days after this little guy visited! I was paranoid about finding more, especially with Ryder crawling all over the place- aahh!  I told Tyler we definitely need to get our house sprayed!

Ryder crawled up into the cubby at the bottom of the entertainment center the other day and then couldn't figure out how to get down!  He's growing and learning so fast!  He had his first taste of fruit this morning- pears- and loved them after a few bites and some sour faces :)

Well, I want to get a little nap in while Ryder's sleeping so I think that's it for now.  Hope everyone's doing well and had a good week :)
