Clara's Check-up and The Weekend

Last week one night we made it out for a bit after supper and Clara rode in the wagon for the first time. She really seemed to like it.

Auntie Christel came to visit this weekend and the girls had such a fun time playing with her.

We cannot keep Clara out of this rock pile in our backyard. The rocks are so tempting and tasty.

Brynn Skyping with Reagan last night.

Clara's new favorite thing to get into. She beelines it for the craft drawers every chance she gets and gets mad when you try to take her away. In fact we must always be telling her 'no,' because that seems to be what her first word is. She just started saying it this week. She has also gotten very good at proudly telling people how old she is now by holding up her finger for '1!'

She also had her one-year check-up on Friday. She checked out very well. She weighs 18 lbs which puts her in the 21st percentile for weight and her height is at 18th percentile. Still kind of a peanut, but with the way she shovels food in, that may not last long. :-)

When I was making Clara's smash cake for her birthday, I saved the leftover trimmed pieces of cake and frosting so Brynn could have some fun with it later. So, she was busy doing that this afternoon.

It sure was a nice night out this evening.

Brynn was so excited that she has mastered the monkey bars all by herself this weekend. She had to take Christel, Dana, Grandma Laurie and me to the park to show off her new skill.

Melissa's (Brynn's classmate and friend from first grade and school bus mate) sister happened to have her birthday party in the park today. They were surprised and happy to see each other so I had to snap a pic of them together. So cute.

Great pics! Just love those girls - so sweet. I'm still chuckling over Brynn's comment from yesterday! :)

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...
