Wells County Fair

Brynn loves to watch many different kinds of YouTube videos, and the other day she got caught up on some cupcake decorating videos. So, naturally we had to then make cupcakes and test out what she learned. She wanted to know how many different tips I had for decorating. I got out all my stuff and I held the piping bag shut while she decorated them how she wanted. I should have took some pics of the final products because they did turn out fairly well, however below is what the kitchen looked like when we were done and she had to get to bed, so needless to say I had some cleaning up to do and I was already pooped myself. 


A craft she made at Hope. Don't forget to "chrust" in God. ;-)


This past weekend Brynn and I headed west to Fessenden for the Wells County Fair. It's always fun to come back and see everyone from my hometown. Brynn loves the rides, of course, and looking at the exhibits in the women's building and 4-H building. It was beastly hot on Saturday, though.

Grandma Darlene after the Rhubarb Festival clean-up. Brynn got a hold of my cell phone and wanted to take pics.

Riding the carousel with Grandpa.

These two were ride buddies for quite a few of  the fair attractions. There little heads barely sticking up over the spaceship cracks me up.


Typical. Ben is his happy, friendly self while Brynn has to check out herself in the mirror. Ha.

Brynn wanted to make sure she made it back to the old school house. She got such a kick out of it last year.

While the rest of our group went on down the fairway, Brynn had to stop back and harass this lady with more questions. 
 

Plucking some grass with Ben with which to feed the horses in the 4-H horse barn.

She loved seeing the horses. This one actually reminded me of one of the horses we had on the farm growing up.



Princess pianist practicing her piano last night. She started out on just the black keys and this week is learning the white ones now. 

My bestest and oldest friend is also expecting and is just one week ahead of me with her due date! We have been friends forever and I think her husband is convinced we're always in cahoots about something whenever we're together. So, the fact that we're pregnant now at the exact same time and both having girls, he thinks this is all a big conspiracy with us two. Ha. Amanda came over last night to visit and we made Dana take some pics of us together so we could remember being pregnant at the same time. Then the rest of the time we sat in the house and complained to each other about the ailments of pregnancy. :-)


Belly buddies!

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
