Family & Pre-Easter

Some photos from Brightwheel (Hope Church app):





Choo-choo Train

This past weekend my aunt and uncle Shelly and Les came up from SD to visit family in our area. They stayed at a hotel with a pool and invited us over so the girls could swim throughout the weekend. They had so much fun swimming and getting spoiled. :) It was great to hang out with Shelly and Les.





Monkeys!
Saturday we had our cousin Marcie and her husband over with Shel and Les. It was fun listening to old Fessenden stories.



I wish I would have gotten a picture of these two hooligans...Brynn had a friend over to play on Saturday and it was super nice out. Sun, warm temps and no wind. It was perfect. Brynn and Vanessa thought it was so nice they put on swimsuits and were squirting each other with water outside. I was pretty skeptical myself, until I went out there and it actually was almost hot. Then Sunday rolled around and ruined it all. Ha.

My love, Brynnie. You can't see it in this pic, but that tooth is still in there and now it has a wiggly friend next to it.



Right before Clara woke up from her nap on Sunday Brynn filled a bunch of Easter eggs and hid them for Clara to find. It was so cute. They must have been having a dry run for this coming Sunday. ;-)




Clara was supposed to close her eyes while Brynn hid another round of eggs.


hehe...





Playing with the Old Maid cards after school on Monday.






Counting chocolate chips. Oh Clara, she always makes me laugh and has a nonchalant answer for everything. It is a bit long, but my fav part of the video is in the middle when she explains that she needs to eat the chocolate ships due to lack of space on the counter.

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...

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...

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...
