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.)

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library. On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
