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!

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...
