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.

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...

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...

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...
