Hot Hot Hot!

It has been so hot this past week. Like Unbearably hot! We bought a portable air conditioner since our AC doesn't work. It does ok. At least the living room is tolerable with it.

Hayden has enjoyed playing with the "water hose", helping with Mike's garden, and going to soccer with me. He is only wearing underwear right now and doing pretty good.

A funny story...Last week Hayden and Mike were playing outside. I was feeding Amelia inside her room with the ac on so I couldn't hear. Hayden came in thru the kitchen door. He then went downstairs. I thought he was playing. It turns out he came in the kitchen and locked the door. He then hurried downstairs and locked the door too. So he locked Mike out of the house! I don't know where he comes up with this stuff!


Here are some fun pictures from the summer so far...

Cousin Fun!

Hayden filled out another reward chart so we went to the splash park in Brookline. Baby Brady was in the hospital so Kennedy was spending the night so she got to come too. They both had a lot of fun. Poor Hayden gets so cold at these places. His lips turn blue. The water wasn't even that cold and it was definitely hot. It doesn't seem to bother him though.

Later I had to separate Hayden and Kennedy because they were basically playing "doctor"! Those two can be such trouble!

We set up a mattress for them downstairs where there was room and it was cooler. Hayden woke up once b/c he was scared. Then at 5:00 am he said "I'm done. Go to my bed!"

Brady has surgery today for Pyloric stenosis. Keep him in your thoughts/prayers.

USA

Amelia watching the world cup...before I picked her up and jumped and screamed and scared her. What a game!

Kennywood

We had a great time at kennywood. We went last 4th of July ad both times it was not crowded. Hayden loved the jackrabbit, the whip and mini phantom best. I love that he puts his hands up on rides. The only ride he didn't like was the log jammer. He cried afterwards "no big slide".

I got so many good pictures I couldn't narrow them down so there are a lot!
