The Weekend

We had a busy, but nice weekend around home. Friday night we had our friends, Ryan and Tina, over with their seven-month-old baby. She is so cute and sweet. She and Brynn had a lot of fun together.

I don't have pics, but on Saturday Brynn and I also attended a baby shower for Dana's cousin's wife at Grandma Holly and Papa Kevin's house. Also on Saturday, my parents drove up for the day to take in the Toppers Car show and met us for lunch and came over for supper. 

We had a nice, relaxing day today baking bread and making a cake and cupcakes.

Another game of Memory. Brynn loves to play, but REALLY hates to lose. :-)


Brynn just loves to give Daddy breakfast in bed. And this morning she wanted to bring him his cereal. I think we woke him up. Surprise, Dad! 

Daddy loves a good back scratchin'. 

My sister had bought me one of my favs: cinnamon swirl bread from Bread Poets in Bismarck. We polished it off last week and everyone was very sad when it was gone. So, we tried to make it on our own. I'd say it's not quite up to par with Bread Poets, but I'm hoping for more cinnamon/sugar as we get further along in the loaf.

You have to try making french toast with that cinnamon swirl bread you made - that is so yummy! Those pics of Brynn bringing Dana breakfast are hilarious. I also didn't know Brynn was so competitive with her games!

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...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

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...
