VBX

This year's theme for our church's VBS (which they actually call VBX for Vacation Bible Xperience) was science: Kinetic Labs. They sure outdid themselves again this year! Clara was old enough to attend now that she is three and really enjoyed going. 

They were both at Hope for 12 straight hours for four straight days! After I dropped them off at 8:00 AM this week, I came back around 5:00. I don't remember them doing this in the past, but now they had served supper right before VBX started, so we stayed and ate and then VBX went from 5:45 until 8:00 pm. I thought for sure they would be so tuckered out and fall right asleep at night. Boy, was I wrong. Ha. They were so pumped up and jazzed from singing songs and doing all kinds of neat things that it took them a while to settle down. 







They sing songs at the beginning of the night and at the end. I don't know why (well, I suppose because I'm a crybaby anyhow), but I get so emotional seeing just how many kids are there participating in VBX and how they get so excited and so into it.



And, of course, the confetti bomb to cap off the week! So awesome.

There are some interesting points in time in this article however I don’t know if I see all of them heart to heart. There's some validity but I will take maintain opinion until I look into it further. Good article , thanks and we would like more! Added to FeedBurner as well casino bonus

January Recap

Right before Christmas break was done, Brynn and  I went downtown to Nichole's for some graduation planning. Making lefse! Clara finished up her time in robotics league with a presentation of the robots and mission that she and her partner/friend, Elizabeth, had been working on. Here's a video compilation of two of the missions they presented. It was so cool. I especially liked the one that picked up the rocks. Some of Brynn's recent drawings. Bedtime snuggles. 💜 I was messaging with Clara's teacher to see if he could let her know that Brynn would pick her up from school one of the very cold days last week. He wrote me back to confirm Clara received the message. I asked Clara when she got home if she wrote that last sentence. Haha. Clara had her first swim meet on Saturday, which was a 'home meet,' hosted by Clara's team, the Red Dragons at Moorhead High School. She was disgruntled about getting up at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning, but each team had specifi...

Clara's Recital + Scouting Event + XaFriendsgiving

I was in full fall mode watching 'When Harry Met Sally" in my turkey leg slippers the other night. Dana and I went out to eat at Granite City on Friday night and I think I found my signature cocktail for Christmas. It's called Snow on the Beach and it was so pretty and tasted really good! Saturday morning Clara had her piano recital and did a great job! Thank you to sister Brynn and the grandparents for coming. After lunch with everyone (family, not the other piano students), she was off to the next thing which was  a Scouting event at NDSU. She had to miss the morning session because of the recital, but in the afternoon they made a tool box. It turned out great. That night we had the XaBeat (the exercise dance class I go to) crew with spouses over for a little XaFriendsgiving. It was super fun. Dana mixing up old fashioneds. There was no shortage of food - it was an amazing spread. Dana smoked a couple turkey breasts that turned out really well and the stuffing sausage bi...

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...
