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!

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...
