Deer Hunting Weekend

Brynn has been pretty excited that we've been getting some snow; though she does look pretty serious here, waiting for the bus.



Last weekend we went to Hurdsfield so Dana could go deer hunting. Unfortunately Chad was still finishing harvesting, so Dana hunted with Chad's uncle and cousins. He did get a doe on Sunday morning. Tessa and I had a great time staying up too late chatting and the girls all had fun playing together...and Benjamin, too. :-)

We made a stop on the way through at the Pizza Ranch to eat with Grandpa and Grandma.

  
Playing dress up and coloring at Auntie and Uncle's house.

Always happy and smiling. She mauled her head, poor thing.


 On Saturday night there was a Family Fun Night in Hurdsfield to raise money for the community. They served dinner and had games and prizes for the kids. It was really fun.

Brynn has been looking at this Play-doh dentist set on YouTube lately and lo and behold they had it to play with at the Play-doh table! I didn't think she was going to leave that thing to play any games so she could get some prizes.

Elise getting in on some Play-doh action, too.


She did end up winning a couple prize sets which were really awesome. One of them was a Play-doh extruder that she picked out.

Our little busy bee. She was trying so hard to roll over here, and finally she just got really still. She must have worn herself  out trying to roll over and she fell asleep there for a loooong time. She is so active, always trying to sit up and roll over.

Bedtime stories.

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!

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...
