Miller update!

You gotta love this kid!
Miller update:
Last week was soooooo HOT we almost died (so we thought anyway). Seattle had record temperatures in the 100's. No one around here has air conditioners because the summer high is usually in the upper 80's and if it's a hot summer it reaches 90 degrees. To add to our unfortunate circumstances, Reece just had to be sick with croup last week making it even more difficult to leave the house to find a/c. It was so ridiculously hot, our apartment was 95 degrees for most of the day and then when we woke up in the morning it was 86 degrees. To escape the heat we would drive around the freeways in our air conditioned car and if we had to be in our apartment we were lying down on the floor in front of three fans with Reece walking around spraying us with water. We have some funny memories from last week and are happy to report that it was 64 degrees this morning when we left for the zoo!!
So life is still great. We saw the blue angels last Friday which was awesome! We had a perfect seat on Lake Washington with a beach right next to us. The Blue Angels would fly right in front of us. It was a fantastic show. Other than that we have been hanging out enjoying the boys!
Boys waiting for the blue angels.
We escaped to Red Robin for A/C.
Gee...I wonder where Reece got his eyes from?
TOOO HOT!
Spencer used his "science skills" to set up contraptions to push the extremely hot air out and bring in the super warm/hot air in!

Oh man, that stinks! Its been about 95 all week here...blah. Miller has been taking the kids to the pool, but its so freaking hot that its hard for Krew to be outside :( At least you have lots of fun stuff around you though...Moscow is LAME-O with barely anything to do (can you tell I'm having a bad attitude?) P.S. KAIDEN IS GETTING BAPTIZED THIS WEEKEND! Email me your address and I'll send you his cute invitation!

Oh, Juliann! I feel for you! We were in Pasco last week when it was 104 degrees and I was thankful we were in a hotel (which we kept way cold since we didn't have to pay for the AC) and we loved the pool! I was wondering if you were going to head to Boise to try to beat the heat but I'm glad you survived. Hopefully the worst it past you!

You guys are tough! That is amazing! Our air conditioner did not work for one week and we were wimps. Our thermometer definitely never got to 95 degrees either!

Those are some cute pictures of Benson.
I can't believe you survived the heat wave, I would have died. I am glad it has cooled off now. I wish I could see Benson sticking his head in the fridge and Reece spraying you down. Great memories!
