Memorial Weekend

Waiting for the bus one morning last week. She did her own braid. Three more days left of school!

Chalk face

I think this is supposed to say 'spring,' but I liked the apple tree.

We spent some time at Grandpa and Grandma Froemming's cabin this past weekend. They've done a lot of work in there and it looks great. Our friends Chris and Ashley stopped out for a visit with their new baby.

Brynn's 'smore' which consisted of some melted chocolate and graham cracker.

Dana dutifully roasting marshmallows for all of us.

That red mark on her cheek is the result of a hula hoop encounter (from another kid) at school on Friday. It looked pretty painful!

Grandpa caught a turtle!

Brynn was in the midst of coloring (marker still in hand) when we ran out to take a look.

Returning the turtle back to the water.

Malt time!

Playing Play-Doh this morning.

Yes, we did let her out in the front yard looking like this. ;-)

Last week we bought Mama a new ride. My old gal went down the road just this morning. Dana had posted it on Craigslist on Friday. My Grand Prix had been so good to me; it was hard to see her go, but so far I do really like driving this new(er) one. Brynn and Dana were nice enough to wash it up for me tonight.

Sometimes I'm just not sure about her. Ha.

Yay, "Daddy's Tree" has bloomed! It is so pretty. Dana asked Brynn why we call it that/why it is his tree and she answered "because you were the who buried it!" Or planted it, rather. :-)

She looks so old in this picture. I am scared to think of how much older she will look once she finally starts losing her baby teeth. (Yes, I did cheat and removed her owie.)

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...

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family. We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...

Reagan Graduation + MDW + Tennis

This past weekend our oldest niece, Reagan, graduated high school. She will be attending UND for nursing in the fall. We're so proud of you and love you so much, Reagan! Cousin Cayden had his Italian soda bar set up at the party which was super fun and a big hit. She opened a few gifts the night before her commencement. Reagan is the third generation to graduate from Harvey High as my mom and her dad, Chad also attended there. This was such a fun gift idea that Tessa put together from her and Chad. We got back home Sunday evening and between the four of us doing different things, spent most of Memorial Day outside. It was such beautiful weather. Brynn and I played tennis and Dana and Clara replaced some shrubs and did yardwork. The tennis season has wrapped up for Brynn now. She's sad to not be playing anymore, but still gets some court time between playing with friends and sometimes Clara and/or me. We're so proud of her and glad she played again this year. I had taken s...
