Easter 2021

Since we didn't have a chance to do Peep s'mores when we were at Tessa's house last, we were able to take home some Peeps to do on our own. Thanks, Auntie!



The girls had Friday off of school for the holiday, but were distance learning on Wednesday and Thursday again for school staff to receive vaccinations. 


After they got their school work done on Wednesday, the girls dyed eggs.













Wednesday night the girls went to Grandpa and Grandma Froemmings' to stay until Dana and I were planning to join them later on Saturday.

It was our friend, Dave's, 40th birthday on Friday night, so we went out to celebrate at Rough Cut, an axe-throwing place in town. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was actually really fun.


Dana loaded up our four-wheelers on Saturday and we all headed out for a nice ride right when we got to Kevin and Holly's.




The girls had picked out some stuff with Grandma at the dollar store in town and Brynn and Grandma made a fun scavenger hut with their loot.


Dyeing more eggs!





I was out early on Sunday morning looking for the Easter Bunny when I noticed the Son has risen. :-)

Grandma made Easter morning caramel rolls (yum!) and Clara thought she should add some M&Ms.

Happy Easter from the Froemmings!

My beautiful girl. 💗

Was Easter Sunday like three years long?! Why does she look so old in this photo?

On the hunt...








We were happy to finally be able to see Grandpa and Grandma Oberg.

They found their Easter baskets outside.




While we were getting ready to leave on Saturday to go to the farm, Dana noticed Mickey was not in his cage. We searched for quite a while, trying to find him. We knew he had been behind the fridge, but that's were the trail went cold. Finally we just had to give up and get going to Dana's parents', so Dana put a board as a ramp up to his cage and we put some carrots in there to try and see if that would lure him back in.

He was still MIA when we returned on Sunday evening and all of us searched around again for him. We knew he had been in Clara's room and back behind the fridge again. We didn't have a lot of hope of finding him....or even alive anyway. That was until Dana was lying awake in bed on Monday evening trying to listen for the little critter and heard something scurrying down the hallway. He saw Mickey scurry into the spare bedroom and got him trapped behind the door. He woke me up and then we got Brynn up and were able to get him into a shoebox and back into his cage.

I still can't believe that we were able to find him, first of all, much less actually get a hold of him to capture him again. He doesn't like to be held at all typically.

Great video! And yes, Brynn does look so grown-up! Looks like you had a wonderful Easter. Hopefully we can make peep s'mores together next year!

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...

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...

Reagan Graduation + MDW + Tennis

This past weekend our oldest niece, Reagan, graduated high school. She will be attending UND for nursing in the fall. We're so proud of you and love you so much, Reagan!   Cousin Cayden had his Italian soda bar set up at the party which was super fun and a big hit. She opened a few gifts the night before her commencement. Reagan is the third generation to graduate from Harvey High as my mom and her dad, Chad also attended there. This was such a fun gift idea that Tessa put together from her and Chad. We got back home Sunday evening and between the four of us doing different things, spent most of Memorial Day outside. It was such beautiful weather. Brynn and I played tennis and Dana and Clara replaced some shrubs and did yardwork. The tennis season has wrapped up for Brynn now. She's sad to not be playing anymore, but still gets some court time between playing with friends and sometimes Clara and/or me. We're so proud of her and glad she played again this year. I had taken s...
