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.

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...
