Melllltingggggg.......

It. Is. Hot.

I can't believe we're not even into July yet, and we're already dying at my house. This year I was totally excited that our Landlord was going to get our A/C up and running in early June! No hot days of suffering this year! Last year we moved in on the 28th of June, and he didn't get our A/C up and running until the 4th of July... one week of torture (that included moving! BAH!).

Well this year he comes the second week in June, goes up on our roof aaaand..... It needs to be replaced. Last year the pump went out, and he replaced that, but it kept spewing little bits of rust and such at us every time it turned on. I didn't mind much, just had to vacuum more... but yeah it wasn't fantastic. So he opened it up to address that problem, and the whole thing was rusted out. Plus the motor was dead this year. His decision: rip it out, replace it and the duct work from the roof to our hallway.

Amid this he's having family crises and working overtime, I was really ok with it because the weather was staying cool. Well early this week he was back, working on it and all. He's replaced some things, ordered new duct, but now he has to go to Idaho, and I dunno when he'll be back to finish it. I'm DYING. Last summer I wasn't pregnant... I could just deal with it, eat a popsicle and chill with Bekah in the back yard... but this year its much hotter and harder on me.

Last night it was 90 degrees in my house. So hot that the garbage turned funky in record time (brand new back with three things in it) and a cup of milk on the table went from milk to cheese in about two hours. Yech!

I really really really hope he gets to it this weekend... he's such a busy guy and I don't blame him, we just keep running into obstacles between me and my cool comfy house.

Can't think of an update besides that... I'm hot!

Bwogging on Novocaine.

I'm a little numb right now. I just had four fillings. Yikes. The dentist had to put so much Novocaine in my one tooth I'll be numb all day. Hopefully I don't have to field too many calls. "Thanks fo cawwing Wetech, how can I hewp you?"

I have to go back to do the other side of my mouth next month. Le sigh. At least he's a really good dentist. I really didn't feel a thing once he got me numb enough.

Saturday night we had a little bonfire reunion. 5 years ago we started doing them in Provo. As Tony pointed out though, we started doing them in March, WAY too early to be doing bonfires. Very true Tony, very true. It was so nice to get to see everyone together again. Strange the different stages we're all at... Ben and I with a pre-schooler, Tony and Cat with a newborn, Shell and Brian married, Steven and Becca in a new relationship... it was like every stage of relationship there. Well except for divorce... let's hope none of us hit that one eh? :D

Miles is a sweetheart! I really liked getting to know Cat better too, she's so nice and such a cute mom. Her and Tony are very sweet together with their little baby. It's nice to have another mom to talk to! Steven and Becca are SO freaking cute together. Man oh man, I was in love with their cute little interactions. I can't WAIT to photograph that wedding!! (It's free Becca, you know you can't say no to THAT wedding present!!)

Sorry, am I ahead of myself? I do that. It's the numb lips I promise. Anywho it was great to see everybody. Strange we've all gone so many different directions and all pretty much ended up in Magna again. It sucks you back in!! Also, we've been in our house for a year! Can you believe that? I love our house. I love that our Landlord is working on our AC right now too! Man my face itches. Damn Novocaine!

Father's day was fun too, though Ben had to work. I made him a Lavalava that he's been wanting desperately. I swear, he's a hawaiian under all that whiteness. My mom thought I'd marry a big islander. Ben's just one on the inside bruddah! He really likes it a lot, I can't blame him with how hot our house has been... I've been wearing skirts too! Tee hee.

Well lunch is bout over, time to stop whining about my face (numb... so numb!) and get back to it. Hopefully I can eat soon, since it smells great in here and I can't chew anything!

Long time no pictures!

It's been a while since I've updated with pictures. See? Even Bekah is giving me the crusty eye. Fine! Here are some pictures of our fun on Sunday.

Bekah's pool from last year was pretty busted, and we wanted a slightly smaller one anyway... (That Grammy spoils her Bekah!) so we went and got her this one Sunday morning. Ben thought it wouldn't fit in the car... it SO did. Booyah for me.

She forgot about sliding into the pool until Daddy suggested it, and then that was all she wanted to do... slide slide slide.

You'll notice her super cute (super modest...) swimsuit. No we're not fundamentalists or anything, we just found out last summer that Bekah is allergic to regular sunscreen. Last year we paid big bucks for the all-natural zinc oxide stuff, and instead of slathering her whole body in it, we found these way cute little wet suit type swim suits at costco. This year she has two of them.

Luckily Coppertone came out with this stuff:

It does have a couple of the chemical absorbers in it, but it doesn't give her hives (and costs about half as much as the blue kangaroo we were using last year!!) So I'm pretty sure she's allergic to the chemical suncreens not the absorbers (Homosalate, Octobenzone and Avobenzone are the most likely culprits).

In other news, we planted a tree!

See our little baby tree? In a couple years it'll be shady and nice. I'm so excited our landlord let us put it in. He's such a nice guy. :)

Here's Ben making a funny face. Man I love this man! :)

So yeah, there is my crazy rant... enjoy!

Oh me oh my

So... 18 weeks down, only 22 to go. I'm almost halfway done!

You know, I really do hope this boy is born on Halloween. How cool would that be? Then the name Daemon would be DOUBLY awesome. Daemon the Demon born on Halloween! He he.

So life is getting stressful again. I just worry so much. I can't really help the worrying. It comes so naturally. I worry about Ben's job, I worry about the rent, I worry about the budget, I worry about the pregnancy... I just worry. I need to stop it though, I can feel my blood pressure creep up every time I think of it.

Even when things have been bad... Ben and I have made things work. He's always found a way to provide for us. I really hope I get this promotion, and i hope they open up this job in July. If I can move to estimating in July, the pay increase will help a lot. Then I'll really be the breadwinner.

I'm really starting to look pregnant now. I weighed myself today and for the first time since I got pregnant, I've gained weight. In the first three months of my pregnancy I lost 15 pounds. I've now gained 3 of those back... lol. A whole three pounds. I do have to be careful now though, because my appetite is starting to come back. I can eat a little more, and lunchtime is the worst. From 10 AM til about 2 PM I cannot get enough to eat! This boy is growing!
