Mid-summer Updates

The girls had the bubbles out one nice evening last week.








Clara already went to her four-year check-up. She's doing great! I did tell her pediatrician that, yes, she is still sucking her thumb. He didn't say too much other than some suggestions of how to try and curb it.



After Clara's appointment we came home and made calzones...with a giraffe. ;-)



More animal dress-up. Last Friday it was dress-up day and you could dress up as any character or animal that you wanted. So, Clara chose to go as a black kitty.



On Saturday the girls headed to Dead Lake while Uncle Chad and Auntie Tessa came to go to the Journey/Def Leppard concert with us. We had a nice dinner out and made our way over to the concert.

Brynn made me this sign that I was to take to the concert along with her light up stick thing.



Chad and I had a great time and were totally in our classic rock element while Dana and Tessa more or less tolerated it. :-)







Meanwhile the girls were having fun at the lake.





Sorry for all my text on top of this video. I shot it in Instagram and should have saved it as a regular video before I added all my commentary. However, I walked it upon the most hilarious and precious conversation. Brynn was taking her shower and Clara wanted to sit in and visit with her. She asks Brynn, "do you like cows?" hahaha. Brynn did answer that, yes, she does like cows.




Clara had her shower after their visit and Grandma braided her hair.



So pretty!

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...
