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!

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...
