Memorial Weekend

We had a nice Memorial Weekend which was mostly spent around home. On Sunday we did head down to Fergus/Ashby, MN for a graduation party and spent the night at Dana's parents that night. 

Monday Rosha was able to come over to play in the afternoon. Brynn was so excited. I should have taken a picture of it because they emptied out about 95% of the contents in Brynn's room and set up shop in the family room.They were having a good time.

My cousin from St. Cloud was passing through on his way back home. So, he stopped and ate supper with us...which I was glad he did, as he'll be moving to Arizona within a week or so and then I won't see him very often.


Girly girl Brynn.

Brynn and Rosha dancing.

My cousin Jon and me. Luckily he crouched down so that both of us could fit in the picture.

When we were at Grandpa and Grandma Froemmings', Brynn helped Grandma Holly plant in her garden and then they planted this geranium together. Brynn got to bring it home and has her set schedule of when Grandma told her to water it. She has a great memory, so I know she won't forget.
I think she looks like Auntie Christel in this picture.




"Daddy's Tree," as we call it, is in full bloom!

Rosha will be at home during the summer months and not at preschool with Brynn starting next week. So, Brynn made her a book for her last day (which actually isn't until Friday). It was a monster cat chasing a dog-man and it says "I'm a monster cat. I'm a chase you." 


Daddy was mowing lawn tonight and Brynn has taken it upon herself to sweep the clippings after Daddy mows now. She's such a little worker.


Work time over! Rosha came to play.

Off to the park.

Another preschool family frequents the park in the evenings as well.
The mom of the little girl made dandelion crowns for the girls. It was so sweet!


Brynn reading to Rosha the book  that she had made for her.



My lilacs are in full bloom now, too. Love them!

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

 Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library.  On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
