Weekend Back Home

This past week was ND Teacher's Convention on Thursday and Friday which meant Brynn was off of school those days. On Thursday Grandma Holly and Brynn had a girls' shopping day together. Brynn had so much fun and she got a lot of great things shopping. The first pic was a new outfit she got that she is totally in love with. I had to peel it off of her over the weekend, as she had already worn it for about two straight days...or more probably! Thanks, Grandma Holly!


I had planned then to take the girls back home over the weekend as Dana went up north hunting with his dad and their family friends. I took Friday off of work to be able to visit the great grandmas while we were home.

First we visited Grandma D.



Uncle Randy came over to visit, too, and measured the girls' heights and marked them on Grandma's wall. Hopefully they will not have grown too much by the next time we come back to visit!





We spent the afternoon visiting with Auntie Tessa and the cousins and then all got together with our parents at Grandma Darlene's for supper. The kids had a great time 'helping' Grandma with her leaves.






Grandpa Kim likes to do a now annual fall hayride for the grandkids. It was a great day for it on Saturday.



The kids had to stop and pick some corn along the way.






I got some good snuggles in with Mom and Dad's cat, Seymour.


Brynn made him a house of sorts.





We decided to make homemade donuts last night. They turned out yummy!










 Clara and Grandpa playing ping pong.



Clara really didn't have a chance yet to decorate a pumpkin at home so she did that this afternoon after we got back home.

Brynn was impressed. :-)

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...
