Memorial Weekend

Before I get to our Memorial Weekend activities, I first have to post a pic that I had forgotten previously. This was Brynn on the last day of school and Camp Skeeter with her dirt cup.



Anyway, we hung around home part of this past weekend and were at Dead Lake on Sunday and Monday which were the best days out of the weekend to be at the lake!

Daddy was working on some projects on Saturday, so naturally Clara was helping out.





We also attended one of my cousin's sons grad party on Saturday. My parents had cousin Elise with them for the weekend, so she and Brynn got to play together.



On Sunday we attended a friend of the family's 80th birthday party in Fergus. These other two munchkins below are great-grandkids of the birthday gal and also the daughters of one of  Dana's oldest childhood friends. Clara looks like her piggy tails are going to fly off in the wind. Ha.


It was a nice evening for a pontoon ride on Sunday. Clara loved seeing all the boats on the water and kept waving furiously at each one. 







Swinging on the big kid swing which apparently is only for little big kids as I broke it the next day when I was swinging on it with Clara. :-(




Time for s'mores!









We enjoyed the beautiful weather on Monday!







On Tuesday Brynn had her first day of the HopeKids Summer Camp. She is off to a great start and loving it so far! I'm so glad, as I know she usually prefers to be at home as much as possible. But they started the first week off with a theme that she really is enjoying which is about recycling. She loves to make treasures from trash which is precisely what they did in the below picture. They made homemade paper today and planted some grass out in the church yard. Her good friend Rosha is also attending this summer, so that helps too!



Clara loves to 'do hair' with this play set. She let Brynn play beauty shop on her tonight. Clara is always so patient when getting her hair done. It is always so cute to see them playing together.

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...

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...

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...
