The Heat Is On

One thing is for sure, this month has been SO hot!! Here's a few things we have been up to this month:

Head bands is more fun with your siblings. 

Just chillin with our favorite puppy. Look at the cute little tongue... on Bella, not Tyler. 

Hot summer days are meant for the pool. We love swimming at the West Jordan pool. 

We have also made good use of our Lagoon season passes. 

Makayla's friend Chloe even came with us one day. 

Summer nights are also made for Panookies. I think we need to get another skillet because the kids act like they have never seen a cookie before when it comes out of the oven. They all scarf it down as fast as they can. 

This picture makes me laugh and also makes me so sad at the same time. Brynnli loves playing with Devri and they have so much fun dressing up and putting on shows, but Devri's family is going to be moving in the next few months. Our neighborhood doesn't have a lot of kids, and now we are losing a cute little friend for Brynnli to play with. 

We have another bird's nest in our backyard with 3 cute little baby birds. 

The kids wanted to have a lemonade stand again this year. They set it up all by themselves and made an amazing $60. I think we have some entrepreneurs in our future. 

The kids' favorite babysitter from when they were little, Suzanna Smart, got married so we went to the reception. They had a photo booth with props that the kids had so much fun with. 

We celebrated my dad's 76th birthday this year. 

I had to go to girls camp this year (which I was not very happy with, but whatevs). Luckily Daddy took care of everything and the kids had fun while I was gone. 

Caden has basketball practice near a park, so while he is at practice we spend our nights playing in the playground. 

And watch the amazing sunsets. 

I just love when these two cuties get along. They have so much fun dressing up. 

Hey, that looks like another panookie. Maybe we should call this the summer of panookies. 

We went to Tammy and Bruce's house for Bruce's birthday and the kids got to do sparklers and watch the fireworks. 

Tyler snapped this picture.. it's kind of hard to see, but Caden and Brynnli have their arms around each other as they watch the fireworks. Might be one of my favorite moments ever. 

If there's ice cream around, you can probably find Tyler. Oh, there he is. :)

I hate to even say the words, but we have started the dreaded back to school shopping. We were at Target and Makayla found this. We all thought the little girl on the packaging looked exactly like Brynnli. Maybe she has a twin out there somewhere?

Who loves Menchies? These three. Ok, Brynnli just loves the candy. 

It has been a few years since we have seen my favorite Kenny Chesney in concert. Stupid covid ruined live concerts, but guess what? Concerts are back. We loved Kenny and sang to every song. 

He's so hot! Tyler is too. 

Now that takes talent!

Remember how Makayla still loves Harry Potter? This year Makayla made the funnest cupcakes. She put an M & M inside each one that corresponded with the color of each of the 4 houses in Harry Potter. She decorated them and then we all got to choose a cupcake. What ever color was inside was the house we were in.

Caden was Slytherin, Makayla was Hufflepuff, and Brynnli was Ravenclaw. 

We are having so much fun this summer and don't want it to end.
