Hot Summertime News

Wow, so this is summertime in Las Vegas, huh? Over 105 today and still 94 at almost 11 pm. What have we gotten ourselves into??!? We were at church today and the power was out in half of the building. Unfortunately that was the half that also ran the air conditioners so we were melting in there. I think Amy and the other pregnant ladies had it the worst but it wasn't too fun for anyone. It definitely makes you feel grateful for the wonders of modern amenities!

We've had a good week, despite the heat. The boys have had fun in all of the activities designed to beat the heat. We went to a fun water park yesterday (along with half of Las Vegas), although Aaron was bummed that he couldn't go down the waterslide with his dad. He was tall enough, but without his life jacket he wasn't ready to go down alone. But we had fun in the kid's pool and Aaron practiced his kicking and paddling in the deeper water. They also had fun over at friends' houses and in the back yard with the sprinkler running.

Amy got some great news on Friday. She heard back from Logan's radio station that her two songs she had entered into their songwriting contest made it into the finals of the Logan Summerfest competition. She'll get to perform them on June 17th at the Songwriter's Showcase. The two songs she entered are Love's Worth Fighting For (MP3, Lyrics), a song that Amy and I wrote for a date night a few months ago, and We Almost Fell in Love (MP3, Lyrics). The guy on the recordings with Amy is Michael DuBois, an incredible singer that also sang the Victory song that Amy and Tera Sweat wrote last year.

While I go to Dallas to do some training next week, Amy will be heading to Logan with the boys to start recording on the FlyLady CD project. We're anxious to get started on this exciting project for the summer. Amy's got 9 of the songs written and will be working with John Carter next week to get some of them orchestrated.

The boys were cracking us up tonight. They both had on cowboy hats riding their stick horses that Grandma and Grandpa Lacey gave them. Aaron was Cowboy Aaron on his horse, Old Pete. His partner was Cowboy Jacob who named his horse Hee-haw! Aaron was tipping his hat talking in a drawl. What fun!



Well, we'll close for now. We hope you are all doing well. Take a minute to drop us a line and let us know what you're up to. We also realized that we haven't sent pictures of the house yet. We'll try to get some taken this week and post them next time.

Take care!
