January

I feel like it's been ages since I've updated the blog, but we haven't been up to a whole lot lately. Here are some highlights though...

Brynn looked up all the cancer ribbon colors and drew each one that she found. 💓


I was greeted by this snow angel outside my office building one morning. I guess it was one of my coworkers. Loved it!

Brynn and her artistic self. :-)

As you may have heard by now, Brynn's hamster, Eddie, passed away a little over a week ago. We're not sure what happened, of course. It was pretty sad, though, and I felt so terribly for Brynn. He was a good little buddy. Right away, Brynn made this tribute collage about him.


Clara ready for school one morning this week, sporting sequined cat ears.


Brynn was thinking all week if she was ready to get a new hamster and decided she was. So, she and Dad came home with Mickey on Friday. I thought my family knew I am FREAKED OUT by all things albino and this guy has the red eyes and all. But, he is still pretty cute. He is getting acclimated to his new home and family. Brynn was discouraged at the thought of 'starting over' with another hamster, having to get another one used to being pet and held. He's a bit shy still right now, but I'm sure he'll warm up soon.


He has a completely different personality compared to Eddie. He is much more docile. He looked so cute all curled up snoozing today.

Brynn and I did some more scrapbooking this weekend.


Dana and I also introduced Brynn to one of our fav movies, 'Wayne's World.' She said it was one of her fav ones that we've watched from the 80s/90s together.


The girls were doing make-up today.

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
