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.

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

September

When Brynn was in 8th grade, their class wrote letters to themselves that they would open once they were seniors. School staff must have sent them right to the high school for safe keeping because a few weeks ago, Brynn got hers back and read through it.    I had perfect weather for visiting a grower with my drone for work last month. Clara spent a night at Grandpa and Grandma Dietz's and did all sorts of activities. Family walk! Brynn ran into this bunch shopping at the mall. 😄 I was so tickled to get this pic from auntie - as much as Brynn was to bump into them. This nomad cat has been showing up around our cul-de-sac, but he does not like me, unfortunately. :-( His tag even says that he's not lost, he just likes to roam. Ha. (I only know that because he actually let our neighbor catch him.) Clara and I have been going to some Davies football games while it's been so nice out. Brynn has been accepted at both NDSU and UND. Yay! We visit UND next Friday, so it will be inte...
