Birthdays

This past weekend we celebrated quite a few birthdays. Friday night Brynn attended a birthday party for her friend Haylie. She had an art theme and Brynn had a great time. We picked Brynn up at their house on our way out of town as we were headed to Fergus for more birthday celebration.





Clara napping at Grandpa and Grandma Froemming's house. I noticed she fell asleep hanging on to the side rail. Ha. And with her thumb, of course.



One of the other birthdays we were celebrating was Grandpa Kevin's. Usually when we come back home to celebrate Grandpa's birthday, it ends up to be a shooting weekend with his birthday being so close to deer hunting. Daddy had been talking to Brynn about his BB gun; she really wanted to try it out over the weekend. She made her own target and used up all the ammo they had. Haha. She had such a fun time. She was so tired out after shooting all day, she came into the house for supper and laid down on her make-shift bed in Grandpa and Grandma's room. I thought she had fallen asleep, but when I went to check on her, I noticed she was sad. When I asked her what was wrong, she burst into tears because she couldn't keep shooting and because she didn't hit the bulls-eye. Poor thing. I'm glad she had a fun time out there, though I was left wondering, yet again, why neither of my children are anything like their mother. Haha. That's okay with me.









Mom had a turn, too. I hit a pop can! :-)

On Sunday we celebrated Granny Annie's 80th birthday at their farm. It was fun getting together with everyone and being with Grandma on her birthday.


Daddy's Cousin, Jarrod, Reese and Clara. Reese is about a week older than Clara and it's always fun to watch them together.

Ring Around the Rosie

Always helping Daddy. She loves her a wrench, that's for sure.
 Yesterday was Dining with Dads. Dana managed to snap a pic of them during lunch. He also stayed for recess, too.





"Getting dressed" one morning this week.

The other birthday that happened over the weekend was Uncle Chad. Though we were not able to celebrate with him, we send him happy birthday wishes!

January Recap

Right before Christmas break was done, Brynn and  I went downtown to Nichole's for some graduation planning. Making lefse! Clara finished up her time in robotics league with a presentation of the robots and mission that she and her partner/friend, Elizabeth, had been working on. Here's a video compilation of two of the missions they presented. It was so cool. I especially liked the one that picked up the rocks. Some of Brynn's recent drawings. Bedtime snuggles. 💜 I was messaging with Clara's teacher to see if he could let her know that Brynn would pick her up from school one of the very cold days last week. He wrote me back to confirm Clara received the message. I asked Clara when she got home if she wrote that last sentence. Haha. Clara had her first swim meet on Saturday, which was a 'home meet,' hosted by Clara's team, the Red Dragons at Moorhead High School. She was disgruntled about getting up at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning, but each team had specifi...

Clara's Recital + Scouting Event + XaFriendsgiving

I was in full fall mode watching 'When Harry Met Sally" in my turkey leg slippers the other night. Dana and I went out to eat at Granite City on Friday night and I think I found my signature cocktail for Christmas. It's called Snow on the Beach and it was so pretty and tasted really good! Saturday morning Clara had her piano recital and did a great job! Thank you to sister Brynn and the grandparents for coming. After lunch with everyone (family, not the other piano students), she was off to the next thing which was  a Scouting event at NDSU. She had to miss the morning session because of the recital, but in the afternoon they made a tool box. It turned out great. That night we had the XaBeat (the exercise dance class I go to) crew with spouses over for a little XaFriendsgiving. It was super fun. Dana mixing up old fashioneds. There was no shortage of food - it was an amazing spread. Dana smoked a couple turkey breasts that turned out really well and the stuffing sausage bi...

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...
