Fair + Father's Day

On Thursday night Brynn and I checked another movie off of our list: The Karate Kid. She liked it pretty well. Definitely a classic.


On Friday Brynn and I went back to Hurdsfield so we could go to the Wells County Fair. Dad and Clara went in the opposite direction to spend the weekend at Dead Lake. Actually, Clara had already gone ahead on Thursday to spend some extra time with Grandpa and Grandma.

We headed into Fessenden for the parade on Saturday, but we were early so Brynn and I stopped in the thrift store that my BFF Amanda and I used to frequent back in the day.

The telemarketing office where I used to work is now home to a fun little coffee shop as well as a couple of other shops. So, we also checked that out and Brynn got a smoothie.



Reagan and Ben rode on the 4-H float of champions.


Reagan brought her cat Marshmallow to show at the fair.


I had to make sure I got in on rhubarb fest. Oh man, it was so yummy.

The kids entered so many awesome projects for 4-H. I was glad I got to see them.

I love this picture of the girls. The girl next to Elise is her friend, Addie.

The Genesis was a popular ride.



We all came back home on Saturday night so we could celebrate Father's Day with Dana on Sunday.

After church we went out for brunch at Lucky 13's.

I got stuff done around the house while Brynn did some cleaning of her own and baked brownies. Dad and Clara played Nintendo.




I had picked out cards for Dana from the girls. Brynn's was quite fitting. :-)




We got Dana a traveling case for the four-wheeler. The girls wanted to see if they could fit inside of it.



We were FaceTiming with my dad and Seymour wanted to be on the conversation too. Hehe.



Yay! Throwbacks. 💓


We are so lucky to have now and have had so many great fathers and grandfathers in our lives. Happy Father's Day! We love you.

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...

End of Summer

Nanny Izabell was done with us mid-August as she got a full-time job. We had another great summer with her and she and Clara accomplished a lot from their summer bucket list. Clara busted out the kite Dad bought for her in Myrtle Beach. She really had fun with it. Dana with the crew from Dude's Weekend. You can see brother John third in from the left. With Izabell's departure, Clara went to stay at Grandpa and Grandma Dietz's. She spent some time at the lake and in Carrington. Dana FaceTimed Clara's swim meet she participated in while I was in Chicago so I could watch and cheer her on. She won both races she was in and overall for the categories she competed in. It was very exciting! She was home for a bit and then off again, this time to Grandpa and Grandma Froemmings'! But first, one last swim sesh in for the year...with Adria! Brynn babysat for Clara's friends and they made this cute sign. Grandma Holly surprised Clara with a visit by Dana's cousins kids ...
