Hello and welcome back. We had a great week last week with Brandon visiting and found some good ways to beat the heat plus have some fun. Thankfully, by the weekend, the temps cooled off a good bit and it felt so nice to be able to open windows again and let a cooling breeze flow through the house. This summer's heat has been relentless and is no joke!
Here are last week's pictures:
Bailey was resting up so she can play hard with one of her favorite people. Brandon flew in from LA this afternoon to spend a week with us before heading back to continue his summer campus job and then start school again. Both the boy and the dog are super happy to see each other.
Day 205- Tuesday, 7/23/24
Poor Rusty is so over this heat and I get it! It was 107 today. Brandon is enjoying his time with the pup. It's been 2 months since he last saw her so she has changed quite a bit. She still acts like a puppy but looks more like an adult dog and is now 47 lbs at almost 7 months old. My poor pants took a hit from her today too. She was chewing a bone while sitting on my legs and we didn't realize she also had the flowy fabric somewhere in her mouth as well. Oops! Sadly no puppy training class today because it's too hot to be safe out there. Next week is looking good though.
Finally after tomorrow we'll have a cooling trend and may even need a jacket for those temps in the 90's since we're now acclimated to the triple digits. Unfortunately this heat with winds and a lot of dry fuel out there is the perfect mix for more fires and we have a huge one burning just north of us. Hoping the cooldown helps. Until then the boys and I are making ice cream as a nice refreshing and fun treat. We made a batch of chocolate with peanut-butter cups added in plus a batch of cookies and cream. Both turned out great.
It's time for the summer Olympics happening in Paris this year. Opening ceremonies were today and it looked pretty wet there but even so kind of cool to have a boat parade which was different. Also TGIF! For our Friday night movie we watched this Harry Connick Jr new release on Netflix--haven't seen him in anything for awhile. It was cute.
Day 209- Saturday, 7/27/24
It's actually kind of cold out to be swimming today (78!) but the pool is still warm from all the past crazy hot days and the boys are all together wanting to jump in so they did. Well, at least Tyler and Brandon--Justin was at work until dinnertime. It's great to finally have the brothers three back together again. We celebrated an early birthday with Brandon and had a nice steak and potatoes meal. Bailey got to run and play in the cool yard plus spend time with all her boys so she literally crashed not soon after!
Typical slow Sunday morning except now it's cool enough to cuddle with blankets again. Later we had a nice big late breakfast just before dropping Brandon at the airport so he could return to LA. I wish he could stay longer but needs to get back to work and make money for tuition. Tonight on the news they highlighted how bad the heat has been this entire month. I'm afraid to see how August will shape up since that is traditionally our hottest month of each year.
Now we're caught up on another full week and almost another month. See you on the flip side.
