Birthday, Muffins and More

Last Saturday Brynn had one of her classmate friends over to play for the day. Her mom came to pick her up and then they ended up going back over to Belle's house to play some more. Ha. They were busy making Brynn's crystal kit in the first picture. The goggles they are wearing were suppose to be their lab glasses, I guess. :-) Once Brynn met up with Belle in the park and realized how close she lives, they were really excited to play together more. She is such a sweet girl, so we definitely like having her around.

Belle's mom invited Brynn along to the craft event the at the nearby public library every Monday. They had such a good time making paper ninjas. Brynn is so looking forward to going again on Monday. Belle's mom had texted me these pics. Afterward Belle came over to play until Brynn had to go to her piano lesson. :-)

Grandpa and Grandma Froemming brought supper up for my birthday and then we all walked over to Penny's house to pick Brynn up from her lesson. I have been meaning to get a shot of her latest statue that she earned for practicing 4000 minutes now! She was really excited about that. Now she is beginning to practice her recital song which will be on May 23rd.

Tis the season! I had back-to-back Muffins with Moms fun this week with Brynn at Centennial on Wednesday and with Clara at Hope this morning.

We gave Brynn's teacher a pot full of chocolates for teacher appreciation week.

Celebrating my birthday at DQ.

This is what happens when time-outs aren't cutting it. I think it was successful...at least for that day anyway.

Crystal update!

Muffins with Mom from today:

Heh heh. My favorite is the 'I'm here! Come in!"

We are loving this great weather we've been having and have been trying to take full advantage of it. Brynn and Daddy have been able to get back on track with their nightly bike ride even.

Eating...always eating:

"C'mon!" Also, this little muffin tinkled in the potty chair last night! I was so bummed; I missed it! Dana was giving Clara a bath while I was out with my co-workers for a going away get-together and apparently she asked to get out of the tub and was pointing to her potty chair, so Dana set her on it and lo and behold!

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...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...

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...
