Serious Fun

Somebody's ready for winter...and that wascaly wabbit.

Looks like it's getting close to everyone's bedtime. :-)


Rosha came over to play yesterday. Good times together as usual. Silly girls.


Grandma Holly and Brynn putting together Brynn's new bead bracelet. She chose all of our birthstones for it.

Looks good! Thanks, Grandma!


Oh, Clara. She is just getting so big, so fast. Daddy taught her a new trick this weekend: Clara's tricks. She is also happy that she can now grasp things and get them to her mouth so that she can chew on and them and drool all over. She sure likes to her herself talk, and squeal and growl. Ha.



Brynn had a Play-doh marathon this afternoon. I think something must have happened right before I took this picture, because I think she's saying 'awww!' That Rapunzel head really freaks me out. Brynn was doing her 'hair' and a huge chunk of her Play-doh hair just all of a sudden dropped off of her head. I couldn't stop laughing.

Play-doh is serious business.

Not much warms my heart more than seeing this.




Brynn reading one of the library books from school. Always with the marker on her hands.

You know when you have kids and you notice mannerisms that are the same in them as in yourself or in your spouse? And it's so freaky? I love it, and am so amazed by that sometimes. If Dana sits like this, his feet are also exactly this way; cross-crossed underneath. But with less crack.



Movie night! We veered off of 'Frozen' momentarily and watched 'Pocahontas,' which we had not seen yet. Brynn kept asking where Mulan was. Different movie, kid. Ha.

Clara even got to be in on movie night. Not sure why it looks like she's panting.

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...

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...

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...
