Mother's Day

This weekend we were at Carrington/Hurdsfield to celebrate Mother's Day and my dad's birthday which is tomorrow. We stayed at my parents' Friday night and at Weckerly's last night. We ended up cutting our trip short, however, as Brynn came down with the flu this morning. Poor thing. It was a rather rough ride back home today, as she got sick a couple more times in the truck, but we made it back home and she has been resting, and hopefully will feel well enough to go back to school tomorrow.

On Saturday we spent some time in Harvey visiting with Grandma D.

Mother's Day was twice and nice for me this year now that Clara is here! I got a lot of nice gifts and we ordered pizza in tonight, so Mom didn't even have to cook.


A framed photo of Clara from daycare.


I got a new scarf (with cats on it!) and new slippers.

Well, it's not Thursday or Friday for Throwback Thursday or Flashback Friday, but I thought I'd include some fun pics of us and our moms for Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day! We love you!

I was a Freshman in HS here, which I think puts my mom at about the same age as I am now. Does that sound right, Mom?

Love you too! So sad our time was cut short and Brynnie was sick. :( But it was such a nice time together. Oh my - yes I think I would have been about 35 on that photo. Seems like yesterday. . .

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...

End of Summer

Nanny Izabell was done with us mid-August as she got a full-time job. We had another great summer with her and she and Clara accomplished a lot from their summer bucket list. Clara busted out the kite Dad bought for her in Myrtle Beach. She really had fun with it. Dana with the crew from Dude's Weekend. You can see brother John third in from the left. With Izabell's departure, Clara went to stay at Grandpa and Grandma Dietz's. She spent some time at the lake and in Carrington. Dana FaceTimed Clara's swim meet she participated in while I was in Chicago so I could watch and cheer her on. She won both races she was in and overall for the categories she competed in. It was very exciting! She was home for a bit and then off again, this time to Grandpa and Grandma Froemmings'! But first, one last swim sesh in for the year...with Adria! Brynn babysat for Clara's friends and they made this cute sign. Grandma Holly surprised Clara with a visit by Dana's cousins kids ...
