Easter 2019/Ollie's Birthday

Dana had Good Friday off of work and I decided to take a day of PTO as well. For the first time ever, we dyed eggs at home. We started off outside, but the wind was a little chilly so we moved indoors.









That afternoon we headed out to Tessa's for the Easter weekend. We stopped in Carrington to have supper with Grandpa and Grandma...and check out the baby chicks at Runnings.


...and gang up on Grandpa with foam swords.

Not long after we arrived at Weckerlys' place, we were out by the fire for some Peeps s'mores.




The moon was so interesting that night; it quickly was rising and in an oval-looking shape. My camera didn't capture very good pics of it.


Due to nasty weather back in March, we weren't able to celebrate Ben's birthday with him, so we finally brought him his present, part of which was this Break the Ice game. I remember playing it when I was a kid!

Saturday morning, Wanda (Uncle Chad's mom) put together an egg hunt for the younger kids in Hurdsfield and a resurrection hunt for the older ones. The kids also got to each choose a prize and have some yummy lunch before heading back over to aunt and uncle's house.






Saturday afternoon we celebrated Oliver's third birthday at his 'Cars' themed party.







I heard Skittles are his fav candy.

Clara asking 'pleeease, can I have another cupcake?'

Ben, Dana and Chad were having fun with this giant Jenga game after the party was over.


Sunday morning the girls got up and found their baskets before we headed to a very nice church service at Chad's family church.












Good thing Dana, Ben and Chad practiced up on giant Jenga the day before, because a big tournament broke out after Easter dinner.





Yay! The Easter Bunny came again this year.


The bunny left some eggs outside...





Thanks to Tessa and Chad for hosting another wonderful holiday!

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.)   They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

 The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match.  Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
