Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust

Brynn got to spend a couple of days at Grandpa and Grandma Froemming's house this week. She had a great time riding four wheeler, baking cookies and shopping in Fargo today. She seemed happy to be home again, but was sad later this evening that she missed Grandma.

Brynn has really been into Tinkerbell lately and Grandma was nice enough to buy her some fairy wings when they were shopping today! (pics of that below!) Anyway, so I wrote the following to Brynn while she was at Grandpa and Grandma's and below is what she "wrote" back to me via Grandma. :-)

Me: Hi Brynn! I know you are busy having a good time with Grandpa and Grandma! See you soon. Be a good girl. I love you. “Faith, trust and pixie dust!” Love, Mama

Brynn: Love you, Mom, so much. I like Cinderella, too! Pixie dust is the light of all!

She is a good scooper.

Always having to taste test.

We decided to have story time outside tonight since it was so nice out...
and a bedtime sandwich snack. :-)

She is forever trying to catch a bird. I always wish her luck.
That dark blob in the grass is her target. She's trying to sneak up on it.

Taking flight.

Hahaha, I love it. That last pic is hilarious. Maybe her fairy wings will help her catch some birds. Great idea to take story time outside.

I can almost taste those cookies - the dough looks yummy. Wasn't it just the most beautiful evening for being outdoors? Great photos.
It looks as though she's really going to fly! :)

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...

End of Summer

Nanny Izabell was done with us mid-August as she got a full-time job. We had another great summer with her and she and Clara accomplished a lot from their summer bucket list. Clara busted out the kite Dad bought for her in Myrtle Beach. She really had fun with it. Dana with the crew from Dude's Weekend. You can see brother John third in from the left. With Izabell's departure, Clara went to stay at Grandpa and Grandma Dietz's. She spent some time at the lake and in Carrington. Dana FaceTimed Clara's swim meet she participated in while I was in Chicago so I could watch and cheer her on. She won both races she was in and overall for the categories she competed in. It was very exciting! She was home for a bit and then off again, this time to Grandpa and Grandma Froemmings'! But first, one last swim sesh in for the year...with Adria! Brynn babysat for Clara's friends and they made this cute sign. Grandma Holly surprised Clara with a visit by Dana's cousins kids ...
