Clara's 7th Birthday

Happy 7th birthday to Clara Rae! 

I was able to catch her waking up before I headed to work on Monday and she told me she was ready to be 7! 

She was at a day camp (Camp Koda) at the YMCA all week and they caught wind that it was her birthday on Monday and rustled up some cupcakes to have for snack in the afternoon. And I think she said they sang happy birthday to her twice. 

We celebrated with her choice of dinner at home. She chose Spicy Pie pizza and asked to have a living room picnic while watching TV. 

Turning seven was off to a good start! 


Thank you to everyone who FaceTimed, talked to her on the phone and wished her a happy birthday!

She chose a soccer-themed birthday party which we had at home yesterday. We had fun celebrating with friends and family. She got so many nice gifts.















It was a nice day out and I thought we'd be outside more, but I think some did get in on a game of soccer with Clara's new goals that we gave her. And Ollie was four-wheelin. 

Auntie Christel stayed the night and so we introduced her and the girls to our fav new Mexican restaurant, Plaza Azteca. 



Brynn ordered the chimichanga, but said it wasn't quite up to par with Shelly's. It was still pretty tasty though.

Ready for bed in her new jammies after a fun day of partying.

Adria was able to come over and play today. They're about to go swimming in our bath tub next. 😀

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...
