It's starting to feel like we actually live in Arizona now. This week we've been graced with the presence of 114 degree weather, 105 degree nights, and we welcomed our first, very own scorpion into our house. Ok, it was already dead when I found him, THANK GOODNESS, but still. Cameron has officially been warned if he ever hears a death scream from me, not to panic, it only means I've seen a scorpion. I got 5 jars of tomatoes bottled before the heat got the rest of them. Next year I'll know to plant sooner :( . So far, and maybe ask me again after the summer, I'm LOVING this weather. Am I crazy?? I LOVE being at the pool almost every single day, wearing shorts and flip flops everyday, warm nights, warm house, tan skin. Love it. In fact, sometimes the house gets too cold for me (yes, our 77 degree house) so I have to go sit outside for a few minutes to warm up! I think I need a hammock! Maybe next month I'll change my mind about all this though. I'll keep ya posted.
Taya finished her first set of swim lessons a couple weeks ago and thank goodness, she's still alive. It was a battle almost everyday, but we made it. And by we, I'm including myself. It was rough. :) ...
Dodger is now our little fish. He LOVES the water. Every time we go he gets better and better, it's so cute. He got his first buzz the other day, thanks to Daddy. Cam disappeared for a while, came back in the room and said, "Uh, I need help", with a partially buzzed little man. I LOVED his little toe head so I was a bit sad, but he looks like a stud with his shaved head. Guess his name fits him a little more now for some reason :).
A Few Random Tid Bits...
Aunt Jami was here for a visit and completely spoiled my kids with attention. She just left today and my kids are already wondering where Jami went. I asked Dodger where Indie was and he walked right to the room she'd been sleeping in and came out with a confused look. He absolutely LOVES Indie! He gave her loves and kisses every time he saw her, so cute...
Jami bought Taya a new friend from Costco while she was here. Taya named her "Taya". Shocker...
I came in the family room the other day and found Dodger watching T.V. like this. I almost wet my pants...
Taya's underwear was pulled so far down he could barely even open his eyes. So random.
We've been doing a whole lot of this lately. Pool and popsicles, what more could a kid ask for? ...
That's about it for our month of June. It hasn't been filled with anything crazy, but after everything my brother and his family have been through I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for even being able to do the things we've been doing. If you haven't read their story yet, go here to their family blog. It will change your life and allow you to appreciate the things we take for granted every single day. Keep fighting Clara, we love you!

This is a precious post. I absolutely love the pictures. My favorite is, of course, Dodger watching TV in Taya's underpants. In the last picture, his adoration of her is so apparent. So very cute.
Kids, summertime and time at the pool! Love it. That's how I grew up and my kiddies as well, so happy you're loving it right along with them :) But I miss you guys so much! Oh, Dodger cracks me up...he's like his Aunt Jen...I have pictures of her wearing someones underwear on her head...priceless and great blackmail material for later :)
