Handy Brynnie

Sad will be the day when I can no longer post cute butt pics of her. :-) Anyway, I was organizing some clothes in her room tonight and she wanted to switch up her wardrobe from her normal pj's...apparently. She asked me for her hat and boots and then had panties on, but I don't know what happened to those. Pretty soon she's on the stairs "pixing" (fixing) as you see below. Ha.







































































Watching the rain.



In other news, she is ever expanding her vocabulary and understanding of things. She wakes up talking and falls asleep talking...and talks all the while in between! We love it. She is always watching and listening and repeats everything. Here are some funny gems of late...
  • "No, wind! Wind, don't blow Brynn!"
  • "Fatty try to eat me!"
  • To our friends who were baby-sitting her one night..."I got a stinky butt."
She can count to 10 and is working on going to 20 with help. She knows her colors and ABCs, which sometimes melds into "Twinkle, Twinkle," which is her all-time favorite song. She also sings "Itsy, Bitsy Spider," "Ring Around the Rosy," "Little Bunny Foo Foo," and "Wheels on the Bus" for us. She still only has about 10 teeth, but gets by just fine.

We are working on potty training, slowly but surely. Her body doesn't seem to be able to signal to her when she has to go yet, though.

She is getting more polite (saying thank-you and no thank-you without prompting) and also bossier at the same time.

So, that is the update on all things Brynn!

Miss you, Brynn. You are always willing to 'help' when you can.

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
