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.

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...
