Christmas 2014


This year we were at Dana's side for Christmas. We had a wonderful holiday and it was extra special since it was Clara's first Christmas.





so excited to get the Elsa dress from Grandpa and Grandma


art supplies!

Clara got two baby dolls!

And a rocking horse.

Brynn carefully selecting cookies for Santa.

Dad photobombing



Wake up, little Suzie. Christmas morning. She likes to sleep on her side.

She is a morning person once she gets up. She is an all-day person actually. She is always happy and smiling.


Dad got a back scratcher from Santa.  


Bath tablets that color the water. Super fun. 
Santa brought Brynn a big sister ornament. I love her reaction. 

It looks as though she has lost her excitement here, but she said she really loved the ornament.

Clara with her Santa gifts.

Grandpa had to head back to work at the power plant Christmas Day, so we went and visited him at work and went bowling afterward.

Lazy bums. Just kidding. Clara snuggled in with us this morning after her first morning feeding.

I love this picture. My girls.

We're home!


Dana, Clara and I are home and Brynn is still with Grandpa and Grandma in Fergus. We will have Christmas with Papa Kevin's side on Sunday, so we'll pick Brynn back up at that time.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Aww so many great pics. Love the one of the two of them smiling together. And Clara all lined up with her presents but she's the greatest gift this year! They both looked so pretty in their dresses. Miss you all.

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! Photo Cred: Grandma Wanda In a shocking turn of events, most of the kids ended up in ...

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...
