Fargo Force Game

This weekend we hung around home. It's always nice for us to spend a weekend getting things done and just being at home. Brynn probably sees it more as boring, as she asked if Rosha could come play Saturday afternoon. I'm so grateful she has such a good buddy who can come over and play so frequently. It is pretty funny to overhear some of their conversations. They do use their imaginations quite a bit when playing which is illustrated in this story: 

I was making supper upstairs and the girls were playing doctor down in Brynn's room. Before starting supper, I had already assisted Nurse Brynn with her patient who was having some pain in her mouth. After surgery, she seemed to be doing better. They must have switched roles when Rosha comes hurrying up the stairs to ask for my help because "Brynn is having a baby, and I don't know how to get it out of her!" Ha! So, I scurried downstairs to find Brynn lying in her bed covered with a big blanket and a lump over her belly where her baby doll was underneath her blanket. :-) I think she had a girl, if I remember correctly. Yes, Cinderella, was her name.

Of course Brynn was pretty disappointed when it was time for Rosha to go home, but that evening we went to Brynn's first Fargo Force hockey game. I received complimentary tickets from a local business that I use both personally and professionally. They were great seats which made it all the more fun. Brynn seemed to think it was pretty exciting and wondered why there were no girl players. I told her I think girls do play hockey (in school anyway) and she decided she would like to play and be the goalie. The only disappointment, other than a loss for the Force, was the foul language we heard on a few instances. :-( There are a lot of other families that attend the games, so I wouldn't have readily expected that. I don't think Brynn heard, though, at least. Probably because she was so busy asking a million questions. he he.

We like attending the Force games as well. My first game I complained to an usher about the language being used around us and I am pretty sure the "gentelmen" were asked to leave. :)

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...

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...

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...
