Can't Take the HEAT!

No sweaty family pictures- sorry!

I can't believe how unbearable this heat wave has been for me! I grew up in Malaysia for goodness' sake! But, in Malaysia we had A/C and a pool, plus, I wasn't pregnant or responsible for cooking for my family... Either way, it has been way too HOT in WA in past week!

If you haven't heard we have been in the mid-late 90s to the 100s for since Sunday- can you say M-I-S-E-R-A-B-L-E!? We bought a portable A/C on Wednesday (my husband had to take off work to wait in line at Fry's because I am an idiot and waited until the last minute to buy one), but it doesn't work all that great. Great or not, it was the only place to be alive in my house all day yesterday so the kids and I watched movies all day, ate fast food, and passed out around midnight when it finally cooled down enough to be somewhat comfortable. Unfortunately, staying up that late meant cranky kids (and mom) and a baby (my two year old) who kept waking up all night. I promise I'm not just being a wimp- ask anyone in WA its been awful!

Today, our ward was nice enough to have an "activity" so we could all get cool at the church building. It was nice to cool down a bit, let the children run, and chat with the ladies in my ward. After the activity was over we went outside to somewhat cool weather- YIPEE!!

When I found I was going to be pregnant with Aftyn all through the summer, I demanded it! Hope it cools off soon!; July 31, 2009 at 9:07 AM
Cj-Sg said...: When I heard on the news it had been that hot I was floored..In Washington??? Well we've been in the one-teens for over tree weeks now and the coolest temp we've seen even over night was 89 degrees...I agree miserable. When it's 118 the pool feels like bath water and its just not even comfortable...oh and we do have a A/C wanna guess what my electric bill was? I need your address to send you something for little Miss Bredensteiner. I swear it's Sarah approved and not the glittery, bedazzled, hot pink, feather boa outfit I wanted to get...; August 5, 2009 at 12:00 PM

Funny Things my Kids Say

Eph: When we both grow up and live next to eachother maybe when your mother (wife) leaves and my mother (wife) leaves I can sneak up and go to your house and we can play. Clay: Adults don't play and it's not your mom it's your wife.
Mom: Ouch, my foot is really hurting! Kai: You're still alive Momma.
Kai and I were going back and forth with the,"I love you to the moon, I love you to the sun, etc." I said, "I love you to Venus" and Kai responded, "I love you to the penis"...LOL!
Clay: Ephraim, why do you always copy me? Ephraim: Because I love ya.
Kai was playing with his train the other day and I overheard him saying, "You can do it Thomas" and of course I was thinking Thomas the kid's engine, and then I heard him say, " You can do it, Thomas Monson"...LOL!
Kai always sleeps in my bed. One day I asked him why he didn't like his bed and he said,"It's too fluffy."
Whenever asked any question from "What is your name?" to "What do you want to do today?", Kai always responds with "Quesadilla".
Kai spent a couple months calling everyone "boob-butt" (boob was taken from the recent Horton Hears a Who movie).
When Kai wants to be picked up he says, "Grab me".
All my boys sing the song Paradise City by Guns N' Roses...embarassing.
When you ask Kai his name he says "Coc-head"- he means coconut head.
In between Conference sessions they played the movie "The Other side of Heaven" and during the scene where the rats are chewing on his feet Kai yells, "Wake up Dude!"
Ephraim says' That's ridiculous!"
When I ask Kai anything he shakes his head violently and says, "No-no!"
Clay told me that he was making funny faces in his class and that the girls were laughing. I asked him if the boys laughed too; he said, "no, they got mad". He told me he likes girls better then boys because they're "pretty". Oh boy!
Clay had some food stuck in his throat and I told him to drink some water to wash it down. He said, "I think I need to use a screw to get it out"- OUCH!
I told Clay that if he ate all his veggies he would be big and strong like his daddy. He said, " Well, that's not strong enough".
Clay turned to me after a meal and said, "Thanks for making dinner Mom". Then he turned to Jon and said, "Thanks, Dad". Jon responded a bit surprised, "What for, I didn't do anything?" Clay replied, "For working". WOW!
Josh came over and was checking out our pear tree in the front yard and Clay put his face up real close to him and said, "Jesus made the pears, Uncle Josh." Josh said he felt like he was in church! HA HA
Clay was being a stinker and I told him to "please be more obedient Clayton Ryan" and he responded, "I'm not Clayton I'm Nephi" and my mom told him that Nephi would be obedient to his parents. So, after some thought he replied, "Oh, I'm not Nephi".
When they don't like a food the boys say its too "spicy".
When something is too hard for the boys to do they say its too "heavy".
My boys both say, "I don't want that ever ever again, so there!"
Clay informed me the other day that he also liked Momma's milk (like baby Kai). I told him that he drank cow's milk like Mommy and Daddy and after a moments thought he said "No, I just drink seahorse milk!"
