Vegas Trip and Benjamin

Last weekend Daddy was away in Las Vegas with his friends for a bachelor party. So, we girls had a fun ladies' weekend. :-) Brynn and I started off with a movie on Friday night.

It was so hot on Saturday, but finally started cooling down later in the evening. And that's about what time it was in these pictures. Clara was eating supper late as she overslept on her afternoon nap!

Starting out pretty clean

The gang in Vegas. They had gone on an ATV excursion and that's where this was taken.

The tables have turned.

Ooh, this was so cute. Clara had gotten this little book from the Hope teachers at daycare. Brynn was reading it to her (which unfortunately none of those photos turned out for me - I was a little too slow by the time I got my camera out); then Clara had to read it to big sister next.

Our skipper landscaper. She cleans up the grass clippings after Daddy mows. I didn't realize she had been using her shovel. I thought she had been sweeping them up all these times. Our neighbor lady was doing some edging in her yard and had a whole clump of dirt and grass she was carrying in a shovel. Brynn was pleased with how much she had filled up her own bucket and I commented how much the neighbor lady had in her shovel, to which Brynn responded, "she's a good woman." Ha ha.

Tough work

We had a little house guest this week for a night's stay. Cousin Ben was in town getting his tonsils and adenoids removed. He did great and the surgery went well, thankfully. He and Brynn had a great time playing together. He is so hilarious and fun to have around.

We went up to visit him in the hospital and I think he was pretty tired by the time we made it up to see him that evening. He was quite the little trooper.

Brynn requested a picture next to this guy. I think his name is Alfonz or Alfie or something like that. I can't remember. This is just down the hallway from the NICU. It all still smelled so familiar.

Ha, she was showing me her grass clipping bucket outside. I didn't realize she had labored with that little shovel to get them all in there! Thanks for visiting Ben and hosting us!

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...
