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.

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

 Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library.  On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
