Phone Pics

Sadly I only have pics from my phone and pics that my mom sent me to update for my blog post this time. And I realize this is only my second blog post for this month. Yikes! 

We have been keeping busy, especially so for me at work lately. The girls have been having fun spending time outside, especially since we put out a little pool and the water table out on our deck.

Two weekends ago Brynn and Clara had their weekend of fun with Grandma and Grandpa Dietz at their lake. It was Brynn's 'half birthday' and she is always so dismayed that I never recognize it or celebrate it in any way. So, she was pretty excited that they were going to be having some kind of celebration at the lake. My mom kindly sent me a bunch of pics from the weekend.  

At Brynn's fav store, Dollar General, with her half-birthday balloon.

Grabbing some lunch at DQ.

I guess they found a fun park to check out after lunch.






I always love Brynn's creative clay creations!



I got a new phone that actually takes better pictures than my previous phone did, so I have been grabbing that for some quick pics lately. I need to get back on track with my real camera, though.



Last weekend we went to visit Uncle John and Auntie Christel. It was great pool weather. The girls had a fun time swimming and playing with their kitties.


Darn cheeks always get in the way!

Typical scene in the pool; someone is always splashing (usually Clara) and Clara has a tendency to hit Brynn which, of course, does not go over well.



On Monday night, Brynn's best friend Rosha's dad invited us to the family picnic at his place of work, Microsoft. We always get a kick out of it when Brynn tries to say Microsoft, because it always comes out "Mascroft." haha. They had a HUGE set-up of inflatables and a lot of food, face painting and a photo booth. It was super hot, but we stayed until the end. Brynn and Rosha had a great time running around to the different activities. It was so nice of them to invite us to come with them.








Brynn is usually pretty cautious about things like this jumping deal here, so I was really surprised when she went for it. She had a blast on it.




Last night we went out to Red Lobster to use up a couple of gift cards we had. And I didn't have anything planned/made for supper. Daddy and Brynn were playing tic-tac-toe and Daddy did a little victory dance, with which Brynn was not impressed.



I had to go out to the park to watch Brynn's new moves on the monkey bars.


We ran into one of her school mates there on the right side of the picture. She is in the same grade as Brynn at Centennial, though they haven't actually been in the same class; so far anyway.



And lastly, a video of Clara saying "M&M." haha. She says "M&M&M." It cracks Brynn and me up every time.

M&M&M

Little Clara's so cute sitting next to Dad at DQ. Ahoy mateys on the pirate ship! I can't believe how creative Brynn is with her play doh and clay creations. I'm always amazed! That lifejacket pic is so hilarious. How nice of Rosha's family to invite you guys; it looked like fun. Nice to have an evening to eat out once in a while - especially at good old Red Slobster.

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...
