SOME HEAT, SOME LOVE And SOME SURPRISES

I had a chance to go down to Arizona for a few days. I told Christine I wouldn't come during the heat, but I couldn't resist a somewhat free trip to see Christine and the boys. The weather was HOT, it was about 110 every day and only cooled down to the 90's at night. I literally thought I was going to melt at times. I was so hot one day after we had been at the pool and needed to cool down so I thought I would take a cool shower. NOT! Cold water does not exist in Arizona right now, you even brush your teeth in warm water. I have to say, I never thought I would think that our 90 degree weather would feel just right.

I had a blast though spending every day at the pool with my cute boys and seeing how awesome they are at swimming now. Nile floats around the pool with his floaties on and just kicks his way to wherever he wants to go. He surprised us all when Carter and Easton where showing how they could dive off the side of the pool. Without us even noticing Nile climbed out of the pool and went to the side and jumped in. He was a little startled when he came up out of the water, but that didn't stop him, he was back again to jump off. Do not tell that kid he can't do something because he will prove you wrong. He has to be as big and just as good as his brothers are. I told Christine by the end of summer he will be swimming without his floaties.

I got an extra surprise while there, Jason stopped on his way through to Colorado and so I got a day with him. I was just the happiest Mom and Grandma for one day as I got to spend time with the people I have been missing the most. (Jason is working a job right now that takes him all over the U.S. and he has been gone since June.)
