Photos of the Girls + Videos

I tried to take some nice pics of the girls while we were at the lake last week. Brynn was an excellent model, but trying to take pictures of Clara right now is like trying to wrestle a greased pig. She is cute though. :-) 









You may recall when Brynn's PeeWee penguin credit union artwork was published in the newsletter. She was surprised to find a box from PeeWee on our doorstep yesterday.

This video explains: Brynn's PeeWee Prize Box. Sorry for the annoying sound while she's reading her letter; Clara was scraping her bowl with her spoon. :-P Regardless, very exciting!


Letter from PeeWee

Daddy brought flowers home for me for our anniversary.



We bought Clara a little bath robe, but she doesn't seem to like it much unfortunately.


helping!

Clara's favorite sayings and words right now and other cute things:
  • What happened? (She says this because she always says 'un-oh' or 'owie' and then I ask her what happened.)
  • No night-night. (She has really been fighting going to sleep the past few nights.) or just 'no' in general.
  • Why? (The "whys" have already started. Aaahhhh!)
  • Beep, beep (when she wants you to move out of her way)
  • What's that?
  • I did it! or Tada!
  • I happy. (She has said this a couple of times now and it is just so precious.)
  • The other night she was looking for me when she was in the living room and I was in our bedroom. I could hear her ask Daddy, "where Mommy?" He tried to tell her where I was, but she just kept trying to find me, and finally I come into the living room and see her leaning over the top of the stairway, yelling, "mom! mom!' She loves to say 'mom' over and over and half yell it at me. And then even when I acknowledge her she will continue to say 'mom.' It always reminds me of this clip from the movie "Wedding Crashers" and the clip from an episode of "Family Guy." Haha.

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!

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...
