Summer Bucket List Activity: Attend a Redhawks Game

Last night we were able to check one more activity off of our summer bucket list which was to attend a Redhawks baseball game. We had gone to one with Clara before and a few with Brynn and it's usually a pretty fun time.

On our way home yesterday I was telling Clara that we were going to be going to the game and she thought it was hockey. ;-)


The usually have some type of promotion of some sort each home game and last night it was dress like your favorite superhero. Brynn didn't really have anything to dress up as, so she kind of fashioned something up herself and Clara wore her Incredibles suit that she got for her birthday.



Of course we had to keep the snacks coming. Brynn had Dippin' Dots.

Clara shared her huge popcorn with us.





Clara was petrified of Hawkeye, so it was just Brynn for the photo op.

One of the players from the opposing team got steamed about something so there was a bit of a skirmish on the field for a couple of minutes...thankfully it didn't amount to anything really.


Brynn got an autograph from Hawkeye. When she was younger whenever she would say Hawkeye's name, I always thought she was saying "hot guy." haha.



We didn't make it all the way until the end as we left around the 8th inning and it was already at least 9:30 by that time. I think they did win, though. They were up 5 to 3 when we left.

Fun! How funny - one of Benjamin's favorite superheroes actually is named Hawkeye but he's some kind of archery fellow. Avenger maybe? Anyway, love that picture of you and the girls - their grins!

January Recap

Right before Christmas break was done, Brynn and  I went downtown to Nichole's for some graduation planning. Making lefse! Clara finished up her time in robotics league with a presentation of the robots and mission that she and her partner/friend, Elizabeth, had been working on. Here's a video compilation of two of the missions they presented. It was so cool. I especially liked the one that picked up the rocks. Some of Brynn's recent drawings. Bedtime snuggles. 💜 I was messaging with Clara's teacher to see if he could let her know that Brynn would pick her up from school one of the very cold days last week. He wrote me back to confirm Clara received the message. I asked Clara when she got home if she wrote that last sentence. Haha. Clara had her first swim meet on Saturday, which was a 'home meet,' hosted by Clara's team, the Red Dragons at Moorhead High School. She was disgruntled about getting up at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning, but each team had specifi...

Clara's Recital + Scouting Event + XaFriendsgiving

I was in full fall mode watching 'When Harry Met Sally" in my turkey leg slippers the other night. Dana and I went out to eat at Granite City on Friday night and I think I found my signature cocktail for Christmas. It's called Snow on the Beach and it was so pretty and tasted really good! Saturday morning Clara had her piano recital and did a great job! Thank you to sister Brynn and the grandparents for coming. After lunch with everyone (family, not the other piano students), she was off to the next thing which was  a Scouting event at NDSU. She had to miss the morning session because of the recital, but in the afternoon they made a tool box. It turned out great. That night we had the XaBeat (the exercise dance class I go to) crew with spouses over for a little XaFriendsgiving. It was super fun. Dana mixing up old fashioneds. There was no shortage of food - it was an amazing spread. Dana smoked a couple turkey breasts that turned out really well and the stuffing sausage bi...

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...
