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!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
