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...

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...
