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.

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

September

When Brynn was in 8th grade, their class wrote letters to themselves that they would open once they were seniors. School staff must have sent them right to the high school for safe keeping because a few weeks ago, Brynn got hers back and read through it.    I had perfect weather for visiting a grower with my drone for work last month. Clara spent a night at Grandpa and Grandma Dietz's and did all sorts of activities. Family walk! Brynn ran into this bunch shopping at the mall. 😄 I was so tickled to get this pic from auntie - as much as Brynn was to bump into them. This nomad cat has been showing up around our cul-de-sac, but he does not like me, unfortunately. :-( His tag even says that he's not lost, he just likes to roam. Ha. (I only know that because he actually let our neighbor catch him.) Clara and I have been going to some Davies football games while it's been so nice out. Brynn has been accepted at both NDSU and UND. Yay! We visit UND next Friday, so it will be inte...
