Brynn and Daddy working on some building projects with the set we got Brynn for her birthday. We are still loving these warmer temps we've been having lately! We got tickets to the Fargo Force hockey game for Saturday night. It happened to be Hometown Heroes night where they were honoring any service and armed forces personnel. It was great. It was Clara's first hockey game. Everyone started out on the edge of our seats. On our way into the Scheels Arena, Brynn was all excited because she wanted to meet a police officer. I told her there would be many of them inside as it was the Hometown Heroes game/night, so she would probably have a good opportunity. She and I went to get her some Dippin' Dots after the first quarter when she spotted a few officers. So, she walked up to this one (Officer Eric Sorenson of the West Fargo Police Department) and introduced herself. He was standing on kind of an elevated platform, so he said he would c

Brynn pointing out her artwork at HopeKids ASP. I had been looking forward to this weekend of just bumming around and relaxing at home a bit. Dana went snowmobiling for the day on Saturday, so I took the girls to Barnes & Noble in the morning. Brynn had gotten some gift cards that she wanted to use there.

When Clara did wake up from her nap, of course she was ready for a snack. She asked for an apple and then sniffed out some cookies and wanted one of those too. So, I had that all in one bowl and noticed the lone cookie remaining in her

Happy golden birthday to Brynn Marie as she turned 9 yesterday on the 9th! We started celebrating Friday night with her friend party at our house. She decided on a movie theme for the party and chose 'Home Alone' for the flick. We made 'popcorn' cupakes and filled popcorn boxes with theater-sized candy on Thursday. She received so many nice gifts from all her friends. The invitations Rosha! Lots of silliness going on! Saturday we had the family (and some more friends too!) party at our house. Brynn decided to forgo cake again and opted for an ice cream sundae bar. Though it was a chilly January day, the ice cream was still tasty. Video of  Brynn blowing out her candlles . I loved her reaction when Auntie pointed out that she had nine boyfriends. Ha.  These two hooligans! They got pretty wild over there in the corner together. For her birthday dinner, Brynn choose Olive Garden which is where w
