Brynn and the rest of us

Last weekend we attended a wedding for one of our family friends in Fergus.

The top photo is courtesy of Holly and the below one Brynn took. :-)

The girls had a fun time getting the party started out on the dance floor.

With no nap and a late hour approaching, Clara didn't last too long.

Not the case for Brynn, though! We took Clara home to bed and Brynn stayed with Grandpa and Grandma to shut down the dance. Holly said she was having a blast dancing ...

and even got in on the garter belt.

Apparently the tiebreaker was rock, paper, scissors.

As predicted we had bad weather on Monday which resulted in a snow day and no school. Dana stayed home with the girls in the morning while I made it into the office to get some things done and was back home before 1:00 when Dana went into CNH.

The girls kept themselves pretty busy and Clara took a good nap, so I was able to continue some work at home. We took a little break for some photos of Brynn though. We had a good time.

I almost don't even want to post this one because she looks SO OLD! So hard for Mama.

Brynn made up some marshmallow PB treats that no one has touched yet...including her.

After blowing snow a couple of times on Monday and Tuesday, Dana was scouring Craigslist for a riding snowblower of some kind.

More sunrises...can't get enough!

You may recall the anti-bullying posters that I had previously mentioned Brynn and her friends posting around school. The night of parent-teacher conferences we received this postcard from Brynn's teacher. It was so nice of him to take time to send us a note, especially since we were going to be seeing him at conferences anyhow.

Finally I was able to take a picture of Brynn next to one of their signs at school.

Being silly after supper the other night.

Good night!

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
