Football + Kohl's Trip + Kevin's Birthday Party

We've been trying to make it to as many of the home JV football games as we can as that's the team Hubert plays on (which are typically on Monday nights). A couple of Mondays ago, it was rainy so Brynn did go with her friend, but Clara and I opted to watch from the comfort of our couch. I'm sure it was pretty miserable. :-(

Well, Clara and I were reading AND watching the game.

Oopsies. Brynn's umbrella malfunctioned.

Clara leveled up again in swimming lessons and just started a new session.

We made a quick trip up to Kohl's Resort with the ATVs and had a great afternoon of riding.

The fall colors were starting to appear up there.

We were able to catch dinner with Christel and John before we head to head back home as I had to teach Sunday school the following day.

Brynn and Hubert double-dated with another friend couple downtown last weekend and apparently it was gaming day at Broadway Square and they made it into the newspaper. I was surprised to see them when I was reading Monday's issue that morning! haha. You can see Brynn and Clara (friend) in the background on the left side.

We went out on Sunset Road as I've dubbed it on the side-by-side on a beautiful night last week. It's this low maintenance road just south and west of the high school that we've ridden out to before and have seen other people pulled onto to watch the sunset. It's already starting to get darker earlier around here. (I'm realizing what a crappy photo this ended up to be - apparently no daylight and a moving vehicle don't mix for a good photo op. ha.)

All of last year I had wanted to attend a varsity football game at Brynn's HS and never did make it. This past Friday I was able to get over there for the last half. It was a beautiful night for a game, but I was a little bored all by myself and as we all know, I haven't a clue what's going on, so I was missing Dana. They won against West Fargo, so it was a fun game to watch anyhow.

On Saturday we celebrated Dana's dad's 70th birthday a bit early at the lake with a party. Thanks, Christel and Holly, for the pics!

Love this one that Holly sent me from Sunday morning. 💓

Clara and I bummed around down at the orchard for a bit Sunday night. It was another gorgeous fall day.

After last night's game. They won against Fargo North.

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.) They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match. Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
