Happy 5th Birthday, Brynn!

Happy 5th Birthday to our little Brynn Marie! What a day! I took some video right away of her this morning. She had to try on her princess shoes to make sure they still fit..being five and all now, ya know. :-) 

 Good Morning

 I ran over to preschool during their snack time which is when the birthday kid gets to share his/her treat with the class. Brynn chose M&M cookies to bring. It was so fun to just go and sit in there with her for a little while. It was pretty funny, of course. The kids were all excited that it was her birthday. This morning Haylie (one of the party guests from last Friday) even sang her happy birthday when she arrived to preschool. How sweet!

Passing out cookies to the kids.

They are divided up into three groups for certain activities and eating. They switch up the groups each month. This month Brynn and these kids are in Robyn's group/room.


Sequoia and Bubba coming in to thank Brynn for the cookies and wish her a happy birthday. 

You might recognize these faces: Brynn, Rosha and Haylie

Singing happy birthday to Brynn!

Dancing to the happy birthday song.


Brynn decided to have her birthday meal at Texas Roadhouse tonight. She got up on the saddle for the whole deal, but as you can see at the end of the video, she got a little freaked out and bolted off the saddle. It was too funny. YEE HAW!


After we got home from the restaurant, it was time to find out what the big surprise was! Brynn is going to Disney World! She talks about going almost every day, so it seemed like in her head she already thought she was going; and to her it was just a matter of when, rather than if. So, we weren't sure how excited she would be. You never know what her reaction to things will be sometimes, and it did seem a little lackluster according to what you see in the video, but by the time I put her to bed tonight, she was asking a lot of questions about going and says she is very excited now. I can't wait either!


(this is what her note looked like)


 And, to top it all off, she got a birthday phone call from Cinderella herself!

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...

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...

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...
