July Fun, Friends, Family and Fair

Last week Brynn was able to stay at Dead Lake to hang out with Grandpa and Grandma's neighbors' granddaughter, Margot. They had a lot of fun together, including sharing this amazing sundae from Applebee's.

When Brynn was at Dead Lake, Clara and Taylor hit up the zoo.

I was absolutely cracking up over this pic of Clara in the combine. When Taylor sent it to me, I immediately texted it to Tessa to let Chad know that Clara is ready to help with harvest this fall. 😂

Clara also had an overnight at Adria's house to celebrate Adria's 7th birthday. I got a chuckle out of the card Clara made for her.

Buddies in matching shirts.

I had bought this little movie projector that I intended to use for outdoor summer movies. So, Dana and I tried watching a movie on a deck date last week, which was all good and fun until the mosquitos drove us in. :-(

We met up with Brynn at Dead Lake to celebrate Froemming Christmas in July.

Clara's fav, turtle! A Froemming delicacy, turtle usually shows up along with the fish at the fryer.

We are excited that Auntie Elaine is moving back to MN!

How it started...

...how it's going.

Dad finally relented to Brynn mowing our lawn, though it wasn't as good of an experience for Brynn as she would have hoped. After a break and some dinner, though, it seemed to go a bit better for her. She's looking for some money-earning opportunities and thought this might be a good one for her. She thought it was more difficult with our mower and lawn compared to when she mowed at Weckerlys', but it sounds like she's going to stick with it. She, and all the farmers, are hoping for rain. ;-)

This week Brynn started the Junior Zookeeper program again and Clara is doing an Artmania class through Fargo Parks. Auntie Tessa was in town with Elise and her friend Addie for their Cobber volleyball camp, so auntie helped us shuttle the girls around to their activities while she was here.

It was so fun to have them stay. We made it to the pool on Monday night and then out for some ice cream afterward.

Taylor took the girls to the fair the other night and they had a good time.

Clara showed me all the creations she made at Artmania this week:

So much summer fun! The kids just mowed here yesterday; we should have saved it for Brynn haha. Thanks again for hosting us - everyone had so much fun! I love Clara's clubhouse drawing.

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...

Easter + April Birthdays

The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match. Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
