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...

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...

Reagan Graduation + MDW + Tennis

This past weekend our oldest niece, Reagan, graduated high school. She will be attending UND for nursing in the fall. We're so proud of you and love you so much, Reagan!   Cousin Cayden had his Italian soda bar set up at the party which was super fun and a big hit. She opened a few gifts the night before her commencement. Reagan is the third generation to graduate from Harvey High as my mom and her dad, Chad also attended there. This was such a fun gift idea that Tessa put together from her and Chad. We got back home Sunday evening and between the four of us doing different things, spent most of Memorial Day outside. It was such beautiful weather. Brynn and I played tennis and Dana and Clara replaced some shrubs and did yardwork. The tennis season has wrapped up for Brynn now. She's sad to not be playing anymore, but still gets some court time between playing with friends and sometimes Clara and/or me. We're so proud of her and glad she played again this year. I had taken s...
