Reagan's Birthday Party & Christmas Program #3

We were westbound on Saturday to Hurdsfield to celebrate cousin Reagan's 8th birthday! We were glad to have made the trip for the party. So hard to believe she is 8 years old already! And soon we will have a 7-year-old at our house. Yikes!

Here is Brynn's and my selfie from the back seat. Our last couple of road trips I've camped out in the back seat with the girls, mostly in case Clara gets hungry en route. It was a different perspective for me back there, I found, though. Brynn usually watches her DVD player, and did most of the time I was back there for this trip. However, she was so excited to have me back there with them...she could chat me up, we sang together and she rested with her head in my lap for a bit. I guess I should crawl back there more often.

Funnies of late....

In the church parking lot this past Sunday.."why don't we celebrate Kwanzaa?"
"...but God loves us no matter what and I am sure you do, too." (about me to her - I think she was in trouble for something at the time.)
"I wonder how God puts us together..."


Tonight was Brynn's Hopekids ASP Christmas Program. On Sunday Brynn wasn't feel very well, and today she didn't seem to be herself again. She still did a great job singing, though. Grandpa and Grandma Froemming were able to come and watch her, so she was glad to have them here.  It was so dark up front where they were and Brynn kind of got behind that other girl there, so it was difficult to get very good pictures.

Next up: Christmas piano recital on Saturday!

Sweet! Hope Brynnie feels better. Little Clara's skin is SO soft. I just love to hear her coo and laugh! Miss you all.

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...
