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!

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...
