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!

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...

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...

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...
