Swimming + Lake Time

The girls got to go out to eat with Grandpa and Grandma when they went to stay at the lake recently. 


Brynn went back with Grandpa and Grandma to the lake after Clara's party last weekend and spent the whole week there. Meanwhile, Clara had fun playing with all her new gifts she received for her birthday.
Clara also had her six-year check-up. She is quite healthy and although she is small for her age, still is growing how she should be. And has very good vision. She is beyond ecstatic now to be in a booster seat in the car.

I had this past Friday off of work which was also the last day of her swimming lessons at Island Park. She had told me that she met a friend in her class and that Alice's nanny knew Ryann (the girls' nanny). Small world. So, we had to snap a pic of them together.

I was so excited to be able to watch her at her swimming lesson.
She and Ryann had told me the day before that Clara didn't end up going off of the diving board that day because she wanted to save it and jump off when I was there watching her. :-)





You could tell she was pretty nervous, but she did it! Twice actually...which is how I got both video and the pictures.All the lifeguards/instructors were showing off their diving skills and tricks that day as well. 
She was in level one and did not end up passing, but she didn't seem to care as I don't think she really realized about the different levels and how that all works. She had a good time, so I was glad for that.
Later in the afternoon we got packed up to spend a night out at Dead Lake as Christel and John were going to be out there as well. We snapped a quick family pic before going four-wheeling with Grandpa and Grandma.



It was nice and warm in the morning on Saturday, but then turned cool and no one wanted to get in the water...except Clara was the only brave one.


Christel and John stayed at our house last night. Clara made pancakes this morning.

The romas were ready for picking from the garden!

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...
