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.

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...

Clara's 11th Birthday

Clara celebrated her 11th birthday with a disco themed party with her friends and musical party with family. Happy birthday, Clara Rae! We love you! Brynn baked and decorated Clara's family party cake while Clara decorated the cupcakes she and I baked for her friend party. Dana and Clara turned the back garage into a discotheque and Clara made up a playlist for Dana to use when he was DJing.   I made her birthday baked oats the morning of her birthday. Brynn did an incredible job on the cake! After her own party, Clara was off to another one for her friend Elizabeth.  On Sunday Clara wanted to go to The Olive Garden for her birthday dinner out. They gave her a whole container of mints just for her. Ha.
