I HATE the heat!!!

I have always hated the heat (which I define as any temperature above about 83). Always. I can remember hating the heat even as a young girl. Weird, I know. I love cold weather. I love bundling up and snuggling down through snow and wind. I would take a nice blizzard over a sunny, 95 degree day in a heartbeat. I just really hate the heat. I don't know why, exactly, but I just do. I recently told my mom and my husband that I think I must have some chemical or hormonal thing that hates heat and loves cold. I get so cranky and tired in the heat. I just can't stand it!

Anyway, if you haven't guessed, summer has finally struck here. When the heat strikes, all I want to do is head out to the Oregon coast. Sigh. That is the BEST place to be in the summer. It is so cool and rainy. Brent and Cindy, you guys have room for us to move in for the rest of the summer, right? LaDawnia can live in our house and go to BYU and the eight of us will live in her bedroom. :)

I am the only one in my family that hates summertime, though so here are some pics of the kids enjoying the hot weather...

Lizzie (6) and Tubby (2) enjoy the playground

Papa catches Caleb (2)
Yes, we know the instructions say to not do this. It is so fun, though! I've just made rules about no jumping...only running and rolling and stuff. Sue me...

Hannah (8), Lizzie (6), and Ammon (10) enjoy the water
Um...what mom let this child go out in 90 degree weather in those clothes???
Remember tee ball? Yes we're still going strong. Lizzie is ready to bat
All the other "prepared" parents brought big umbrellas to block the sun. How was I supposed to know??? I was just glad I didn't forget my chair again!
