Uncle Carey and Aunt Cindy invited us over for brunch at the lake. My dad and Dana's parents joined us too. We had a super delicious brunch and a fun visit.
I had a last-minute opportunity to see Kenny Rogers in concert when he was in Fargo playing at the Bluestem Amphitheater during his "Gambler's Last Deal" tour. Thankfully my best friend Amanda was able go with me on short notice. I was pretty excited as I remember listening to Kenny Rogers on 8-track at our neighbors' house when I was little. It was a little jarring when we saw how old and frail he appeared up on stage. He sat for most of the show and seemed to have a hard time carrying his voice for all the songs. I didn't get very good video or pictures, but here are a couple. It's his last tour, of course, so I am glad I got to see him in person anyway.
'Islands in the Stream.' The best duet of all time! Amanda and I were hoping Dolly was going to pop out from behind the stage and join him, but alas she didn't appear after all.
Our first batch of chocolate chip cookies in the new house. Mmm!
Brynn's take on the food pyramid. :-)
Last weekend we celebrated Grandpa Kevin's birthday at the farm.
....and headed to the lake to take out the lift and dock. Clara was busy raking up the leaves and putting her toes in the (cold) water.
I honestly haven't found myself outside in our yard much since we moved here, though I'm not really sure why. Clara and I did go out one evening, though, while Brynn was at a birthday party and fooled around a bit.
Then we encountered some drama when she got angry about something.
Happy again!
I already know I have gone overboard with my sunrise pictures. Ha. These are looking outside our backyard from the deck. It's so pretty every morning.
And again..but a night time pic. The moon was so bright and full one night this past week. The fall colors are so pretty right now too.
Brynn has been on a chore rampage, making and saving her money to get her ears pierced. She finally earned enough money so last Sunday I took her to get the job done. She was a little nervous if it would hurt, but she was really brave and is so glad she got them done. They look really cute. She said it didn't hurt too badly. Hehe - Clara's face in this ones totally says "ooh, that looks like it hurts."
Little sissy giving support.
Morning snuggles.
Brynn was headed out to the garden to finish cleaning it out with her overalls.
Surprise! She and Daddy found some carrots still left in the garden.
This past Wednesday was the last day of the session for both girls at Dragon Swim School. Clara will probably take a break, but Brynn will keep on trucking.
Brynn's instructor this session tried so hard to get her to dive, but usually she would sort of chicken out right before entering the water and it was just kind of comical to watch his reaction every time. He was so encouraging and wanted so badly for her to be able to do it!
