Water Weekend

We had another great weekend in the water! My sister's in-laws were nice enough to have us out at their lake place again on Tamarac Lake. Brynn and I had our first ride on Super Mabel...and it was awesome! It's like riding on a couch on the water.  Brynn even rode on my jet ski with me quite a bit and the cousins had a great time playing together again. Brynn got so tired out, I couldn't even change her into her PJs before she crawled into bed that night. She woke up a little confused as to why she still had her clothes on.

We celebrated Father's Day with Dana by hanging out at home. Brynn spent most of the day in her new pool. We had such a fun day together; we didn't even eat one meal in our kitchen. We made Daddy breakfast in bed for Father's Day which ended up with all three of us eating in bed together. It was so nice outside, we had lunch and supper "poolside." ;-) Brynn made a kite for Dana at daycare and was pretty proud to give it to him yesterday.

Chad and Reagan on their jet ski and Brynn and me on mine.
Brynn kept trying to take over on the steering.






Reagan looks worried. Probably rightfully so.



Brynn even got to help drive the pontoon.

Brynn in her new pool. It is so awesomely large,
especially compared to her old one.


Hopefully not a case of heat exhaustion. :-)
It was really hot when we were first out there!

She was such a little fish in that pool; so cute.

Taking a quick break to get a bite of Daddy's ice cream.



Packin' heat with the "shoot gun" aka squirt gun.



Giving Daddy a blow-out.

Haha! Great update. Love that last picture. That pool is huge! Hope we can come over and try it out. Her little bikini is adorable. That picture of them in those green chairs...I am just flashing ahead like 10 years to them sunbathing out there and chatting away.

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...

End of Summer

Nanny Izabell was done with us mid-August as she got a full-time job. We had another great summer with her and she and Clara accomplished a lot from their summer bucket list. Clara busted out the kite Dad bought for her in Myrtle Beach. She really had fun with it. Dana with the crew from Dude's Weekend. You can see brother John third in from the left. With Izabell's departure, Clara went to stay at Grandpa and Grandma Dietz's. She spent some time at the lake and in Carrington. Dana FaceTimed Clara's swim meet she participated in while I was in Chicago so I could watch and cheer her on. She won both races she was in and overall for the categories she competed in. It was very exciting! She was home for a bit and then off again, this time to Grandpa and Grandma Froemmings'! But first, one last swim sesh in for the year...with Adria! Brynn babysat for Clara's friends and they made this cute sign. Grandma Holly surprised Clara with a visit by Dana's cousins kids ...
