Heat update ;)~

Happy tuesday.....

Surely, there is a much more exciting opening line...

I could say....HOW HOT IS IT???

or "Yes, I'm still here but I seem to be melting!!"

Today friends we are only suppose to be 112 but tomorrow..... yes, tomorrow's forecast is 114! ONE HUNDRED F.O.U.R.T.E.E.N ~ how does that even happen?

Our city broke a record on Monday....we reached 110 which beat the record from all the way back to 1923. We also officially have the hottest month ever in the history of Oklahoma. ~ July 2011 will now sit in the record books!

Last night @ 10 pm it was still 102 sooo we decided to have a little fun in our living room. We broke out the golf putting green and had a little family contest. Then we played the WII. Just Dance Summer edition, it had us dancing, laughing and burning some calories too! woo hoo! I dominated for most of the songs and then Jenna came back strong!




Oh YA!! We got Jantzens EEG moved up to this Saturday! PRAISE THE LORD!!! He has to go to bed @ midnight and wake up @5 and then test that afternoon. I am sooo thankful the Lord allowed for this to change! Now he won't even have to worry about missing any classes that first week back to school. (oh how I HATE typing those words!)

I hope you all are staying cool and taking care out there in this heat! Love and Hugs to you all ♥

Mondays Musings

🎶 Monday, Monday, so good to me🎶....Can't you just hear the "Mammas and the Pappa's" singing about now 😉

I hope you all had a blessed weekend. What did you do? I honestly cannot believe we are in August ALREADY! Just blows my mind how quickly June & July went!
I have asked you all to pray🙏 for rain right?? Well, this week is going to be down right unbearable! Just take a gander @ this weeks forecast! We were sooo excited this past weekend when we saw rain clouds but unfortunately they didn't produce one drop for us here in our town. 😢




Can you believe it??? It is really getting to a dangerous level because of the water rationing and consistent days over 100+. We were out and about yesterday (sunday) and saw heat/air companies business trucks out working on houses. Don't you know they are just swamped. Everyone's poor air conditioner has to be running non stop trying to keep our houses cool. Our weatherman was literally just speechless when he was giving the forecast. Bless his heart...don't you know they want to just put up a sign that says "Ditto" or "Same, just hotter than last week" Those poor guys or gals really have to let things slide right off their backs much of the time don't you think!?!?

This week I am thinking we will spend time inside, maybe have a movie marathon, stay in our jammies, and CHERISH these final 2 weeks before we are back to school .....Has anyone seen "The Kings Speech?" or maybe, "Diary of a WimpyKid?" I really want to see "Limitless" as well. I am so excited movie rentals are just $1 these days!! Thank goodness for Redbox! They have set a standard for all those corporate Movie Rental places haven't they :)



this week @ LifeChurch.tv we started a new series, titled "BOLD." It's gonna be sooo good! Here are a couple of thoughts:

**God gives ordinary people extraordinary boldness!** Peter, a doctor, and a man who denied Christ 3 times yet HE still accepted him even after he sooo messed up! Then Christ gave Peter a boldness, (Acts 4:13) baptizing him with the HOLY SPIRIT and Peter brought many to Christ, healed a lame man, preached in the Temple, and much more! Now I would say that is One Bold Man!


Thought for the day......."How AMAZED are people by my boldness for Christ?"

Happy Monday my friends! Love & Hugs to you all! ♥

Thankful for.....

I am so thankful it is SUMMER TIME


We have been enjoying "Summer" since the kids were out of school, but Now....It's Official :)

Swimming with my family and friends, sitting out on the back porch in the evenings and talking with the kids, listening to the outdoor symphony of the frogs, crickets, and cicadas. Seeing the Beautiful Moon and the Stars twinkling and catching one fall every now and then!


Fireworks! My Husband and Son are sooo funny! They LOVE to shoot off fireworks together, and trust me, it does NOT have to be July 4th. I love to watch my honey, it is like he turns into a young boy, with such a smile on his face as he shoots off the LOUD and Booming Fireworks! Soo cute :)





Grilling out! Making yummy dinners on the grill whether it is chicken to add to a salad, or some burgers, and even better, how about a steak or some fajitas! Just love grilling and having dinner outside together!


I am so thankful it is SUMMER TIME


What are you thankful for so far this Summer??
