What a day!

What a great day we had yesterday. Brynn and I made pancakes for breakfast while we waited for Daddy to wake up so we could all go to the Bouncin' Bash. We went last year and Brynn has been excited to go back ever since. It's held in the Veterans Memorial Arena in West Fargo and they have a bunch of inflatables and some games for kids. Brynn seemed to be taking her time warming up to the inflatables, but the Froemming in her came out when we went to the Wild West Shootout game.The set-up was using dart guns that you aim at Velcro circle targets on a backdrop. We must have spent 20 minutes at this thing alone. She was a pro by the time we left there. 



Reloading



After a quick trip to Wal-mart, we headed home to enjoy the great weather for the rest of the day. Brynn was outside from 1:00 pm - 8:00 pm, only coming into the house for bathroom breaks and supper. She washed her trike and bike, collected more pine cones for her pine cone collection, started a berry collection, made a 'zizzer' (as she called it) out of a stick, went on two bike rides and one four-wheeler ride, vacuumed the trunk of my car, fed Monkey some leaves, watched some boys play street hockey (and tried to join in), bungeed her bike and trike together, played with bubbles, pretended she was a dog, and apparently found the biggest rock EVER! She was a busy girl. So busy, she had no time for a nap, and didn't even fight me once going to bed. And even admitted to being tired. 


Mama's tired, too. On that four-wheeler ride I mentioned, we had to stop at each sidewalk stamp  because she asked me to read the construction company names to her. You would think there would only be one stamp per block, but I guess that's not the case!  We went at least four blocks. We got a chance to all get on our bikes and go for a ride. It was so cute riding behind her, watching her little legs pedal non-stop going around our neighborhood with Monkey strapped into the carrier seat in back. I wish I could have gotten a picture of that, too.  I think she's going to ride that thing until the wheels fall off.  








She is a really good helper. :-)
Still running at the end of the day.

Isn't this weather amazing?! I love that we can be outside all day in March! Looks like Brynn had a very busy/ fun day! I bet she slept really well last night!

Of course she's good at the guns :) That pic of her in the trunk is funny. Way to roll your sleeves up and get in there.

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...
