Deer Hunting, Date Night/Grandpa & Grandma's House

This year Dana got his deer license and was able to hunt with Chad out in Hurdsfield. So, we girls headed out as well to visit while the guys hunted.

Panoramic taken by Dana. It was just so "North Dakota" to me.



We had a fun time with the Weckerlys, as usual! I found myself in a kinetic sand competition with Ben and Elise. It was pretty cutthroat, but super fun.


Reading buddies

 Ben and Clara being silly together. I think Ben was playing peek-a-boo with her.





These three amigos were let loose in Tessa's kitchen (bless her heart) and were making some Special K bars. They did a great job with making them and taking turns, but sadly the actual finished product ended up rock hard for some reason. :-(



Tessa and I are forever trying to get a good cousin shot and kudos to Tessa as she finally did it! I just love this one of all of them together.



Saturday night was Family Fun Night at the Community Center again this year. Clara had so much fun in the bouncy house/ball pit.


Mmm, ice cream sundaes.



So precious. Grandma Darlene let Clara put some of Clara's lip gloss on her.




Grandpa and Grandma were on their way back from the lake on Sunday and met us at The Ranch for supper. Brynn was impressed with how tall Grandpa can get his ice cream.



We have sure been loving these nice fall temperatures!




Brynn practicing her cursive.

Brynn's teacher recently took a trip to New York and brought each student in the class back a chocolate Statue of Liberty. Choco Lady Liberty is still siting in our fridge; I think Brynn is afraid to 'ruin her.' by eating her. :-)


In Brynn's class they decorated pumpkins which apparently became their children. They completed these little 'baby pumpkin books,' with the 'birth announcement' and a story. Ella turned out pretty cute and she is still sitting on our front step.



Brynn has created about three Christmas wish lists now, and this is another one that I recently found. I think the water tower trip should be pretty doable!



Since Brynn didn't have school on Friday, the girls headed to Grandpa and Grandma Froemming's for a couple of nights. So, Dana and I headed out on Friday night for a date night. We ate at Sammy's pizza, a little dive downtown that I had been wanting to try for a long time. It was just the ticket. They were playing oldies on the TV and it was really quiet in there. And the pizza was good too.



After pizza we went to Blarney Stone Pub for our fav dessert in town. Yum.




 Then we ended the night with a movie at the old Safari 7 theater where we were two of five total people in the theater. :-)


Of course the girls were having their own fun at Grandpa and Grandma's. Grandma Holly texted me this pic of their fort.




Brynn was to come back today just in time to attend her friend's PJ/movie birthday party just a few houses down from ours. However, she ended up not feeling well and stayed home. It seems she may have caught a flu bug, poor thing. We're hoping it passes through quickly.




While I was at it taking pictures of sleeping children, I couldn't help myself with this one. It was so cute how she is touching kitty pet in her sleep.

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...

Easter + April Birthdays

 The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match.  Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
