Happy Easter!

This year we spent Easter with Dana's family. Friday was Dana's birthday, so we celebrated with his parents at their house. Brynn hid his presents, but then helped him search for them. We were so glad to finally have some nice weather to enjoy, and what good timing. I am always bummed if it's icky weather on Easter. I was glad we were able to have the Easter egg hunt outside. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter, too!  Thank you, Holly and Kevin, for a wonderful holiday.


 Thursday night Brynn asked me to take some "Easter" pictures of her and Dad. Dad was on the phone at the time, so Brynn was fine with pictures of just herself. :-)


Brynn finally made it to see the Easter bunny on Friday. I love how she's holding his paw. He he.

Daddy said he would like chocolate melting cake for his birthday treat. Some call  it lava cake since it is gooey in the middle. It lived up to that name as it melted the wax candles. Oops.




Decorating the Easter tree.

Dana and his parents were working in the cabin on Saturday, so Brynn and I hung out down by the beach. The lake is slowly melting!






Gearing up to try one of the eggs she dyed.

She just kind of gnawed on it...and made a mess with it.


Found a basket!



So cute. Isn't that book the truth, Tessa? (wink, wink)

Found another basket.

The Easter Bunny knew Brynn's Grandma works at Adams School. Connections!





No stone left unturned. She thought for sure the Easter Bunny left some eggs along the driveway somewhere. Alas, he had not.

Mouthful of candy. ;-)

Much like Christmas was for Brynn, Easter was hard work!

In other news, this photo chronicles of a right of passage in many girls' lives. I know I did it when I was a kid. Brynn tried to cut herself some bangs. :-)  She has been really into hairstyles and playing with her hair lately. I never thought to tell her not to take it upon herself to cut her own hair. All things considered, it could have turned out much worse.

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 ...
