Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! This post is quite unrelated to New Year's, as we didn't really do anything to celebrate. It was nice to have a day off of work in the middle of the week. Brynn and I hung out and I got some things done around the house. We made it out to Wal-mart to get some more supplies for her upcoming birthday party. Dana is under the weather with a cold, so he just rested today.

2013 was such a great year for our family with our Disney trip in February (we are still talking about how much fun we had and are ready to go back again! Though no plans to do so yet), Dana started working at Case New Holland, another great time spent at Swan Lake, my sister and I took our New England trip and more fun times with family and friends. We are excited for 2014!

This past Sunday we celebrated Christmas with Dana's dad's side of the family at Grandma Froemming's place. We had a great time visiting with the cousins and catching up with the rest of the family.(Grandma Froemming is Brynn's birthday buddy.)

The great-grandkids all do a gift exchange among themselves. Brynn got a Barbie.

All of Grandma's great-grandkids, except for the two who live in Colorado.


Brynn got this pack of letters and numbers from Santa. She has been having lots of fun with them in the tub. She spelled "Brynn will be six" tonight. Then she peppered the entire bath with them and asked me to take a picture.

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...
