Breakfast on the Farm, Lake 15, Sunday Fun

Saturday morning we met up with my parents, sister and her family for Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley. They served pancakes, sausage and eggs which we ate while listening to live music. We didn't get there in time to watch Benjamin participate in the kids' tractor pull, but we did see Reagan receive her third place award for her age category. The kids played on bouncy houses and went through the animal barn they had set up. It was a really neat event. We all headed to my parents' lake just as it was really starting to get hot out.



The little piggies were so cute.

Clara got to pet a tiny little chick.

Talking to Grandpa about the pigs. I think those were her favorite. Most of the while on our way home that night she kept going on about how we were going to go back and see the animals. She seemed quite disappointed when we got home that we were at our house and not visiting the animals like she had thought.




The weather was great for spending time at the lake. We had a nice visit and the kids sure had fun down in the water.






Auction time. Reagan was auctioning off the shells they had found earlier.



Chad bought many shells on the auction...and Tessa bout a couple as well.



Mmm..s'mores!



We had a fun day at home today with a bike ride before lunch and pool time in the afternoon and evening. It was pretty hot out again today.

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...

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...

September

When Brynn was in 8th grade, their class wrote letters to themselves that they would open once they were seniors. School staff must have sent them right to the high school for safe keeping because a few weeks ago, Brynn got hers back and read through it.    I had perfect weather for visiting a grower with my drone for work last month. Clara spent a night at Grandpa and Grandma Dietz's and did all sorts of activities. Family walk! Brynn ran into this bunch shopping at the mall. 😄 I was so tickled to get this pic from auntie - as much as Brynn was to bump into them. This nomad cat has been showing up around our cul-de-sac, but he does not like me, unfortunately. :-( His tag even says that he's not lost, he just likes to roam. Ha. (I only know that because he actually let our neighbor catch him.) Clara and I have been going to some Davies football games while it's been so nice out. Brynn has been accepted at both NDSU and UND. Yay! We visit UND next Friday, so it will be inte...
