Lake Franklin and Outside

A couple of mornings in the past couple of weeks it's been foggy over the river. So pretty.

As I started out on my run one morning, I was greeted by a rainbow...only then to get rained on the rest of the time I was out there. :-/

Clara was proud of this block tower she built at school.

Last Saturday we got together for our annual gathering at Lake Franklin. It was beautiful weather. We were just missing having my sister and her family there with us.

Clara entertaining Grandma. :-)

Clara was the only one who swam. She was having a grand time in there, wading around and getting up on the ladder all by herself.

Uncle Lester and Auntie Shelly came to spend the night with us on Sunday...and we were treated to Shel's famous chimichangas. Shelly made them up and Dana was the fryer, while Shelly supervised. So yummy.

Bed time story...and snack.

Clara "helping" me make supper one night.

They had a camping theme at school this past week. You can see Clara's actually holding a pretend marshmallow and poker and I think what must be the graham and chocolate square are behind her on the floor and the "fire" in front of her. Hehe.

Practicing braiding.

Clara loves to make (and also eat) scrambled eggs, so she was making some up for herself before preschool one morning.

Dana was looking pretty official now with the shirt he received from Fix It Forward, the automotive ministry organization that he volunteers with.

We headed out on the four-wheelers tonight to see how far south of town we could go. The mosquitoes were pretty ferocious unfortunately. We look a little break and Clara felt the need to strike a pose.

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...
