Christmas Program #2

Brynn hasn't played outside at our house much this winter yet. But Saturday was a pretty good day for messing around in the snow. I was taking some pictures of my friends out in our yard, so she bundled up and came out, too, and ended up staying out there to play. She stayed busy out there for quite a while. 







Sunday was the HopeKids (Sunday School) Christmas Program. Grandpa and Grandma Dietz came to watch and afterward we went out for brunch. For some reason Brynn was not excited to do this program and was upset when we dropped her off with her Sunday School group. She didn't look very excited when singing either, except after she finally spotted us in the pew, she perked up a bit. Second performance down, an after school program one next week and piano recital after that.



Not so sure these branches were the best idea. She said she got whacked by one a couple of times.

On the Jumbotron!

This was just pre-k through first grade for one service, at one of the two church campuses. They announced that they have over 1100 kids in "Sunday School" which also includes a Wednesday night service as well. 

Out for brunch at Village Inn.


She does start out the long way in there, but is always all mixed around by morning....or even by 9:30 pm. She's such a little wiggler.

Clara the scarecrow! Art project from daycare.

So happy we got to spend some time together this weekend - Brynnie's face lit up when she finally spied us in the crowd during their performance! Love that scarecrow art project - ha!

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...
