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.

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!

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...
