Anniversary Date Night and Pool Time

Last Sunday after we got back from Cousin Camp, Grandpa Kim stopped by for dinner on his way home from the lake. The girls sucked him into a card game after dinner.

The weather has been great for pool time this past week.

On Wednesday the girls went to stay with Grandpa and Grandma Froemming at the lake for a few days. I guess Brynn complimented the neighbor guy on his bib overalls, so he went shopping in Fergus and outfitted them with their own! Haha. I couldn't stop laughing at this pic Grandma Holly sent me.

While Brynn and Clara were gone, we decided to make a go of a night out on the town to celebrate our wedding anniversary which was on June 26th.

We first went out to eat at Rustica downtown. We hadn't been there before except for when it was a different restaurant altogether under different ownership. It was really good.

After we ate, we tooled around Island Park for a bit. We hadn't really been down there much before and it's a pretty nice, well-known park in Fargo. In front of the tennis courts they had these odd concrete bleachers. I had terrible shoes on and didn't want to go up that high to the top, so I let Dana go on up ahead and check it out.

Safe at the bottom!

I had seen on Facebook that one of the local pizza places, Rhombus Guys, shows movies outside on their rooftop every Friday night at 10:00. So, we found ourselves up there with a yum pizza and 'Indiana Jones' for the movie.

We had a good view from up there of the Bank of the West building where I interned when I was in college.

Yesterday Dana ran to the lake to bring the girls home. It was great to have them back!

Brynn's neighborhood friend stopped by to play for a bit and they worked on a sidewalk beautification project. :-)

Lunch outside today.

Brynn and I made s'mores bars. Delish!

More pool time. Our friends Amanda and Adria came over to play this afternoon and Adria's daddy joined us for supper later. It's so funny to watch them play together.

Clara had a nice, long nap this afternoon, but she was looked pretty haggard by the end of the night tonight...she was dirty, played-out and had lost her shirt to a spilled milk incident.

Still had enough left in her for some strawberries before bath and bed, though. Brynn is back on a bracelet loom kick.

Always watching what big sissy is doing.

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library. On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
