Lake Weekend

On Friday Tessa and the kids came up and spent the night. Saturday we were planning on all heading to Grandpa and Grandma Dietz's lake place for an overnight stay there. Tessa took Brynn with her kids to the Share A Story event at Rheault Farm before we headed out of town. Brynn went one other year when she met Arthur there. They had a fun time doing the barrel train, face painting and meeting Buddy the dinosaur. I think that's his name! Neither Brynn nor I really knew him. But, they had a good time, Tessa said. And thank you, Tessa, for letting Brynn tag along!




Deciding on the face paint design.

Unfortunately it wasn't very nice weather at the lake on Saturday, but Sunday was a lot nicer and Brynn was able to fish and swim with Grandpa.



I think the caught about three fish total. 

Brrr!



Those gums are always flappin. Ha.




I have been wanting to try and french braid Brynn's hair especially now that it's getting warmer out. I thought it would help keep her cool. So, we watched a YouTube tutorial last night and she let me have a crack at it. It took me about three tries.


On the move!

The perils of being a summer crawler: sore knees. Poor thing. It doesn't seem to slow her down any though.



She kind of gets her head stuck under the faucet sometimes.

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!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
