Mother's Day Weekend

Saturday Daddy and Clara went to Dead Lake for the day while Brynn and I stayed behind in Fargo. Clara had a fun time playing at the lake, of course.

Trying out her new bed at the lake.

Brynn and I got to meet up with Auntie Tessa and Ben at our fav Mexican place, Mango's.

Later in the evening Brynn and I went out for a bike ride to play at the playground at Centennial (Brynn's school).

Our first 'deck date' of the season, as we call it. No bugs yet, so it was perfect. Dana hooked up the TV from our bedroom out there and we watched a show until we got too chilly.

Sunday for Mother's Day we spent the day at home with Dana's parents. I got some great gifts from the girls and Dana.

Brynn wanted me to read my card from her aloud, but I told her I get too emotional so I asked her to read it. :-)

Clara "reading" a book that we gave to Grandma.

Brynn's friend Rosha had her birthday party at Courts Plus Sunday afternoon. Happy birthday to Rosha!

It was a really nice day for grilling and playing outside.

We went back to the Centennial playground on a bike ride later that evening .

And since I wasn't with my own mom on Mother's Day this year, here is my photo shout out! :-)

Happy (belated now) Mother's Day to all the special mothers in our lives. We love you.

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...

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...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...
