HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!!

So Wednesday night the blower on our air conditioner stopped....not good. We just turned fans on for the night and survived but called the repair man the next day. The first company, the ones that installed it when our house was built, said they couldn't come out until friday sometime between 7am and 7pm (unbelieveable!). So we decided to do some calling around. Oh, by the way it was 5 years in June so our warranty was up, of course. We finally found someone to come out that day. They came about 11am and it was finally fixed at 4pm.....it only got to 95 degrees in the house and took about 3 hours to cool it down. It ended up being a circuit board on the blower and costing us $800 but worth it to be cool again. We also finally replaced our front loading washer.....we both hated it! It always smelled and was making our clothes smell. I used those "afresh" tabs they make for it to get rid of the odor and it made it worse. Our washer smelled like dead animal.....I put bleach in and it didn't help. So we went back to the old top loader. It is however earth friendly and only uses 15 gallons of water, so far we love it.

A little story about Semanee this week: We were riding in the truck and we had one of her friends w/ us Savannah. Semanee was saying "When we get to my house lets play pretend baby" . Savannah says "My mom says I can't play that game." Sem responds, "that's okay your mom's not there, you can play." Oh my goodness is this a sign of a wild child ahead? She is only 4 for petes sake....what am I to do? Anyway, I thought it was pretty funny but scary at the same time....I've got a rebel on my hands.

Ella Shay is finally take 3 or 4 steps on her own and getting more brave. She climbs up on the couch herself now but getting down isn't so easy.

I laughed right out loud!!!! God Bless you Semanee, it's moments like this that a Grandparent truly enjoys. Good luck Christine and Allan! She's one smart cookie to have figured this out at four.

I heard that the front loaders were not as good as first thought. We had our washer go out a few months ago and we are using an old one that was given to us, but we are saving for a new set. Our original washer and dryer set is about 14 years old. We purchased them 2 months after Brittany was born.

Glad to hear about repairing the air. Our summer here has been mild. We have had a few days in the 90's but most days are pleasant. We have enjoyed going to camp and using their large swimming.
