Family & Pre-Easter

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.

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...
