Bouncin' Bash

Last weekend our good friends from St. Cloud came to visit. It wasn't overly warm outside, but of course that didn't stop the kids. They had fun on the swings and threw around the football a lot. We realized Brynn has a good arm on her for throwing the old pig skin! I think the Easter Bunny might be bringing her a football of her own.


Man down! Dana was not conditioned for football practice.

It had been a couple of years since we hit up the Bouncin' Bash. It was great timing with having friends to go with.





Someone can't hang and fell asleep on the way home. Coincidentally I brought just her home so she could nap and sure enough, she woke up as I was getting her out of the car and she wouldn't go back to sleep.



Don't mind her unkempt hair. She was in need of a bath! Our friend Roger is into photography as well and so he and I were monkeying around with our cameras Saturday afternoon and Clara was the only willing subject...



In fact, she wanted to be on the other side of the lens as well:


Camera phone?



Poor lil Clara is under the weather again with what seems to be a flu bug this time. She took a nap for 2 hours and 20 minutes at daycare on Monday! I was so excited that she napped so well....until I got her out to the car and she threw up all over herself and me. Twice. :-( Grandpa and Grandma Froemming are up in Fargo for an appointment today anyway, so thankfully they were able to come last night and stay with her today. She was pretty perky yesterday, but now today looked kind of peaked again. She is napping now and hopefully will be able to rest up good this afternoon. And hopefully feeling better for Easter!

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...
