Coolness....where are you????

When is it going to cool off!!!!! I am really ready to be able to go outside.. without sweating!!! I am sure you people in the cool mountains or you people with those cool ocean breezes don't quite understand... the 110 degree dry desert air, but many of you that are also from the desert can understand, that Arizona really does have its own sun... and its just different from any where else. Although we don't have much humidity(sorry peeps in the south, its just crazy where you are too!) its just time to cool down here....

     all this talk might be related to the fact that my a/c in my car is broken for the 2nd time this summer and im a little tired of driving around and being soaked with sweat and my hair looks like i just got off a motor cycle when i get to my destination...well on the brighter side of things..here is what we have been doing lately..

 repainted and recovered my dining room furniture...
 goofing around with family photos...
 climbed some trees...
 saw a really cool old truck... that i would love to have...
 roasted some of our green chilies that we grew...
 kids did a mountain bike race in flagstaff.....
     swam in the creek by our house.....fun times had by all!!!!
have a great day!!!!

well... i guess that was it....summer is over!!!

Everyone here has started school... yesterday!! Mano. mano. how the summer flew by!!!Ours was taken up by all stars baseball... and swimming lessons...and then we did get to go on a trip to my parents for a week... which was super fun... got to go to a real lake...(not an Arizona lake, where you have to watch out for cactus) a real lake, that pine trees grow right down to the water... it was sooooo nice. We stayed in a great little cabin(thanks brother for that) and went out for a nice boat ride...caught a chipmunk in a box trap fished, ate, drank and then ate and drank some more.... fun stuff!!!

But now... yes its back to school... well i mean trying to figure out what to order for school... mental note.... need to order math books and science books for kids.... O.K. will post pictures of the trip soon.... i had to purchase a disposable camera for the trip, because a person with a degree in photography doesn't always remember to bring her camera(husband was not happy... since we are still and will always be paying for the student loans that paid for the photography degree) so i have to go get them developed which seems so old school and i barely remember how to do it.... so if you haven't started school yet... ENJOY the rest of your summer
