It's completely hot here (as most of you know) and when it rains, it only gets more muggy and more humid. And there has been a lot of that since it's tornado season. I threw a picture in here of our courtyard so you could see the torrential rain and "lake random." Click on it so you can see it zoomed in. I have to be honest and say that I miss the Utah summers. I miss cool summer nights, and 80 degrees that heats you up but doesn't melt you. I miss playing with my family's doggies in the yard where the green grass is actual grass. However, I do love the rain storms here. The Uintah mountain (Utah) rain storms are great, but even those don't compare. I'm trying to see the positives in all things...even when I feel like I need a shower mid day.
To cool off we spend our time at the splash pad here in Norman, at the kiddie pool in cousin Kael's backyard or fill up the infant tub and put it on the porch, just for kicks. Coleman enjoys all of it! *Sigh* To be a kid again! What do you guys do to keep cool? Any other fun suggestions?

Cute picts! I can't believe how fast Coleman is growing up! The way I like to keep cool in the summer is going to the snow shack. They are my favorite! Good to keep up with you through your blog. My brother is in Oklahoma now too at Altus AF Base. He'll be there until August doing his training. He's not very fond of the heat and humidity...or the tornados!
Yeah, the tornadic weather is freaky! The humidity, just miserable. Hopefully he's doing good at training. I didn't know he enlisted.
It wouldn't feel like summer if you weren't sweating immediately when you walk outside. Don't you love it?? No?? However, there's nothing like an Oklahoma storm with lightning and thunder and a little fright when the sirens blare (but no tornado comes). It's kind of cool! Mother Nature at her best-or worst-however you look at it.
I love the Coleman pics--he's the cutest!! Love you guys
