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.

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
