January

Well, there went January! Here is a recap of last month with one post. :)

Brynn came to XaBeat again with me one Saturday morning. (It's a dance-type class similar to Zumba, if you're familiar with that). It was just our group in the pic (Lana in the pink is the instructor) plus one other lady. The other girls are my boss and her girls, so we snapped a pic of our 'mother/daughter' class.

Dana trying his darnedest to hack his way through the snow on the sidewalk. The girls were trying to make their way over to him to offer their help.

Brynn had an appointment and the day off of school a couple of Mondays ago, so I took the day off of work and we had lunch at her restaurant of choice, Village Inn.

We picked Clara up early from school and they shoveled the deck off so that I could get to the grill to make dinner. Good helpers!


Dana took off work a couple of Fridays ago to help paint at his parents' cabin. He took Clara to Fergus with him, but not before they stopped at Space Aliens for lunch.

Brynn and I joined everyone at Grandpa and Grandma's on Saturday. It was a nice day to play outside for a bit in the afternoon.

Mid-song. :-)

She had just hurled that snowball you see coming right for me.

We went out to Mable Murphy's to celebrate Holly's birthday before they headed down to Florida for a few weeks.

Happy birthday, Grandma!

Last Friday evening Brynn and I helped pack food for Feed My Starving Children. We had a good time doing it after they cranked the tunes in the Scheels arena and we got going in our assembly line. Turns out we were working at the same table as one of Dana's old co-workers, so we caught up with him a bit.


Saturday we met up with my parents and Weckerlys (sans Tessa) at Detroit Mountain. It was a great day for tubing and we had so much fun.

Dana and I went to parent-teacher conferences for Brynn this past Thursday and were greeted by these guys, modeling some lost and found items. They really cracked us up.

All of Brynn's teachers were really nice to chat with again and it was nice to hear some updates on how her teachers feel she's doing. She's having a better second semester it seems now that she's had a chance to get into the groove of middle school a bit more. Summer will be here before we know it....well, at least that's what I tell myself on days that it's below freezing.


Clara paid Brynn $10 to take this Our Generation doll off of Brynn's hands. I think everyone was satisfied with their transaction.

We have just been bummin around this weekend, getting caught up on some thing around the house. We mixed up sugar cookie dough yesterday to bake Valentines cut-out cookies, but have yet to do that today. Instead the girls went outside to play and then Brynn tagged out and I had to make my way out there so Clara had someone to be with her outside. We did some sledding and did have a good time until we couldn't feel our hands anymore.

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...
