Grandma's 60th Birthday + BFF Overnight + Four-wheelin' Trip

Saturday was a perfect day to be at the lake celebrating my mom's 60th birthday. 

We kicked off the party with a rousing game of baseball. 


We got into cake and presents in the afternoon and had a delicious fish fry dinner.

Oliver was ready to party.

Tessa and fam were in charge of the decorations and accessories. 







The Weckerly kids made a candy riddle board. Those are always so fun.


Clara made a neat card for Grandma.

Turns out 60 is the year for candy. Grandma and Clara share a love of Tootsie Rolls. 

Brynn chose an especially sweet card for Grandma.




Happy birthday, Mom! It was a fun celebration!


The next morning, Dana and Brynn got up and headed out with the four-wheelers to meet up with Grandpa and Grandma Froemming and some other friends near Nevis, MN.

Meanwhile, Clara and I got up and working on this rat's nest. :-) It actually wasn't too bad to detangle.

We did a Target run and then got groceries before heading back home to get ready to have Adria over for a sleepover.


They kept pretty busy together and seemed to be having a blast.



They waited as long as they could on Sunday morning before waking me to make pancakes. :-)



Meanwhile, Dana and Brynn had a good trip with nice weather on Sunday. Monday morning they rode a bit before heading back home and they said it was a bit cold then. Thanks to Holly and Dana for all the pics! 

They stayed at a family friend's cabin and they left this sweet note for Brynn. 



Taking advantage of the snacks. :-)



Could these two look any more alike!? Dimple twins.




They missed each other the 30 hours that Brynn was gone. 💕


Some random pics from earlier this past week. 


Clara made herself a unicorn headband.

Clara has been busy with her school iPad. Dad helped video her for an assignment on Friday which she started out by announcing, "hey guys; it's me, Clara!" LOL. I didn't remind her that it's for her teacher, not YouTube. Also featured in this video was Clara wearing her too small PJs and her dirty clothes and undies on the floor. No matter, I guess, as her teacher said she played her video for the 'B class' (the group who is in-person on the opposite days as Clara) as an example of what to do for the assignment. Uff! Haha.


Speaking of school, they were back in person today and will be tomorrow before learning from home Thursday and Friday of this week. Clara didn't want to go to school this morning and the bus came more than five minutes earlier than we had anticipated, so it was a bit of a rough start, but she did say she ended up having a good day...after she needed help from a para once she arrived at school because she couldn't remember how to find her classroom. So many things to remember from the bus route number to the lunch code number. I told her that's what they're there for is to help you and then she told me later that's exactly what the para had told her. :-) She said tonight that she just wants her 'real' teacher to be there with them. I think she is set to come back to school post knee replacement operation in about 6 or 7 weeks. But the substitute teacher is really nice too.

Brynn is loving 7th grade so far and I think things are a little calmer day-to-day with only half of the students in the school too. We learned some good news today that she will actually be continuing with the hybrid schedule after this month and not doing complete distance learning after all. She was glad to hear that.

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...
