it must be july

{a load of cousins in the pool. the temp spiked. we all flocked.}
...
'cause it's monday 
and 105 degrees outside.

i don't want to be anywhere else but that pool right there for the rest of the week.

even chase is trained to only walk in the shade.

i always forget to bring his shoes.

i'm not as skinny as this picture makes me look. 

in my brain i am:) 

and that's the beauty of my 30 and 1/2 year old state.

but i sure do like to stare at it b/c there's nothing like a good bathing suit picture 

of yourself to turn a girl into a vain woman for at least few minutes.

{take a picture of yourself from up high. it will do you justice every time.}

the varicose veins on the backs of my legs are scaring the small children and teenagers.

the heat is just not conducive to them.

the veins.

not the children and teenagers.

my cousins may never have babies. 

it's bad. REAL{ly} bad.

ouch.

it's just too hot to wear anything else.

just say no to heat over 100 degrees.

or anything over 87. 

whichever.

this is why i could never live in arizona.

that and the scorpions.

barf.

except when the sun goes down.

and it's 100 degrees and dark.

then 100 is ok.

not just ok.

perfect

perfect

PERFECT.

:):):)

which is why my kids haven't been to bed before 10pm in over a week.

b/c at 8pm the day finally gets going.

it must be july:)
