Talent Show, Wedding and Birthday Party

Friday was the HopeKids After School Program Talent Show. Wow, what a talented group of kids. There was singing, dancing, gymnastics, magic tricks, science experiments, drawings and more. It was so fun. Brynn and her friends Rosha and Lily did a singing and dancing combination to "Let It Go" from the movie Frozen. Here is the video: Talent Show Performance. Brynn was very passionate in her performance, I thought. :-) She did really well. I know they practiced a lot.

Afterward they served root beer floats. Yum!

Some recent drawings. Every day she is drawing or writing something. I love to see what she comes up with.

Tinkerbell

I liked this one because she labeled everything she drew. he he.

Dana was an usher in his good friend's wedding this weekend. Brynn had such a good time attending the ceremony, and of course, the dance. She really latched on to another one of Dana's friends who was also an usher. Too bad he's already married. She was pretty sweet on him by the end of the night. Good thing his wife was generous enough to give up so many dances with him to Brynn. :-)

She was excited to find some dandelions to pick outside the church after the ceremony.

Dana with his friends, the other two ushers.

They love each other. :-)

Daddy did get a few dances in with Brynn at least.

Not the greatest pics since they were taken with Dana's cell phone, but here is Brynn with her buddy, Marko, or Marker as she nicknamed him.

If you can see that tiny blip on his tie, that is one of the dandelions she had picked earlier. She had stuffed them in my purse and dug it out later to give to him. ha.

Our good friend Brenda and me. Her husband, Jared, was best man in our wedding. Brenda is due with their second as well, but is exactly a month ahead of me. I'm hoping that dress is just making me look bigger than I really am. :-)

After dancing all night, we had to get up and head back to Fargo this morning because Brynn would not want to miss Rosha's birthday party!

Sweet friends. Happy Birthday to Rosha!

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.) They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match. Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
