We hope everyone is staying cool in this heat! We have had record highs and yesterday it reached 100. We took a trip up to Rocky Mountain National Forest on Saturday. We walked around Bear Lake and the surrounding area. The kids were great all day and we even saw some snow! It is so amazing that it is so warm yet there is still snow in the mountains. I am sure it will melt soon as we have had such warm days. We also walked around Estes Park for a while and had some home made ice cream.

On Sunday we swam in the pool and went to the mall so the kids could play in the playland. We tried to get Regan to pierce her ears but she was a little tired and wouldn't let anyone touch them. As soon as we got home she wanted to go back and get earrings!! Little stinker!

Ryan started his first official day today and he said it went well. He is in anesthesia this week and he did a few epidural steroid injections. Not the most interesting thing but at least he has good hours this week! The kids and I stayed home today because it was soo hot! We are going swimming this evening and then tomorrow it is suppose to cool off into the 80's so maybe we will take a trip to the zoo.

Quick story. Last week we buzzed Kael's hair and Regan wanted her hair cut. I told her that her hair was soo pretty long and girls don't have short hair. A couple hours later it was extremely quiet and I went to look for Regan. She was in the closet with SCISSORS!!!!!!!! Yes, she cut about five 4-inch chunks out of the front of her hair. I was sooooooo angry with her and Ryan said "why did you cut your hair?" and she replied; "it was too long". At least she was honest but it looks terrible. She has less than 1/2 in bangs and there are some short chunks right on the top. At least she didn't cut the sides but it is an interesting style! I will post pictures when we get some good ones.

Ok, enough for today. Kari
