Building Projects, Fargo Force Game & Cookie Baking

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 come down and talk to her. She stuck out her hand to greet him and he asked her several questions. He was very nice and Brynn was excited. I told her I was so proud of the way she introduced herself and shook his hand and everything.

There was a giraffe loose in the house this weekend. Sometimes it even roared like a lion; very peculiar.

Oh wait, it was just Clara. :-)

We thought this afternoon was a good day to bake some chocolate chip cookies. Yum.

Aw, way to go, Brynn. She looks so excited! And what a good kitchen helper you are, Clara.

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!

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family. We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...
