Sunshine and Summertime

 I just wanted to start out this month's blog with a little bit of truth: 

Yes, Bella is obsessed with me, and I'm ok with it. We love this little Muggies so much. Bella got a haircut and I think we all wondered if we got the same dog back. Bella looks so different in her before and after. 

Okay, okay, sometimes I have to share Bella with the rest of the family and the good news is that Bella loves the rest of the family just as much as she loves me. 

What are summer nights perfect for? Outdoor movies with friends. 

Now that it's summer we spend the majority of our morning in our pajamas playing with toys.

We went to the So Jo Summerfest. We walked around, played in the playground and then enjoyed the fireworks. 

The biggest concern in America now is the rising cost of food, gas, and necessities. The cost of almost everything is rising and inflation is really impacting our everyday life. Look how much it cost to fill up our Buick. 

We ran into some friends at Lagoon. Caden and Johnny are in the same grade and the height difference is too cute. 

We were getting ready for our upcoming vacation and Brynnli was working on her packing list. She included "swiming soot, 1 Bajamas, and 1 andees". Good thing mom checks her suitcase, or Brynnli would be out of luck in the underwear and clothing department. 

Caden and Brynnli are taking swimming lessons this year with their cousins Camden and Kenzee. It's kind of sad because Makayla is done with swimming lessons now. 

What makes ice cream better? Sharing it with dad. 

Poor Brynnli got a hold of some nasty bug that really wiped her out. She had to miss dance. Colds in the summer are no fun. 

Tyler and I got to see Garth Brooks again this year. If you remember he came last year and the concert sold out within 45 minutes. He said at the last concert he would be back so that everyone who wanted a ticket had a chance to purchase one, so we decided to go again. 

This concert was just as good as last years, but maybe just a little bit better because Garth Brooks' wife, Trisha Yearwood sang a few songs with him, including my favorite song, "Shallow"

It was an amazing concert and a great start to Summer.
