February: First Half

Last Friday night Clara and I found ourselves back at Blackbird, per her request. It was delish as usual. 

Had to stop at Scoop-N-Dough (South Fargo location) for dessert afterward.

Dana and Brynn went up to a Bemidji State Beavers hockey game on Friday and came back on Saturday. I love this pic of them.

Clara was busy back in the kitchen again this past week. She was making a coffee-cake type muffin. She didn't end up caring for them very much.

On Saturday we celebrated Elise's birthday at Detroit Mountain where I skied with her and some of the other kids and Brynn tubed. Clara had a classmate's birthday party that she attended, so she stayed in Fargo with Dana. It was a super fun day.




We hit up Zorbaz for post-skiing and tubing eats.

And ended the day at Grandpa and Grandma's lake for cake. Happy birthday, Elise! We love you.

On Sunday Tessa took the girls shopping.

While Brynn was out shopping, Clara did more baking.

She tried her hand at cornbread for dinner that night. I'm not usually a very big cornbread fan, but this did turn out really good.


We had to hit up Snow Mountain for a bit in the afternoon.


I was not familiar with this 'game,' but love when the girls start doing it. I think mostly because it means they're doing something together and getting along. :-) I guess it's called Concentration. I had never seen them do it together before last week, but somehow they both knew exactly what it was and how to play it.


The girls ended up having a snow day on Friday.




We accepted a last-minute invitation from Dana's co-worker friend to attend a UND hockey game with them last night. It was my first Hawks hockey game and was really fun.


Both Kaily and Alex are UND alumni, so they took us to their old stompin' grounds after the game.

Completely random, but I noticed this Virgil Hill poster at Judy's and made Dana take my picture with it. I met Virgil Hill in person when I was in high school. If you don't know him, he's a fairly unknown boxer. :-) Haha.

Getting ready for Sunday School this morning.

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...
