Beginning of Spring

Brynn has been making mug cakes lately - so yummy.

A couple of weekends ago Elise came to stay with us - both girls had so much fun hanging with her.

They watched Cinderella, I think it was, in Brynn's room.

They made a really yummy apple spice snack cake that didn't last very long around here.

That same weekend Adria was over to play too.

The planetarium at MSUM (my old alma mater!) was holding a space show and I know how much Clara loves space, so we took that in one Sunday afternoon. She had already been to the planetarium once with her class and has been wanting to go back.

Old Brynn. :-)

My sister captures the most amazing photos of the Northern Lights. 😍

Got my co-workers good for April Fools. 😂

Clara trying to serve Dad his coffee on Saturday morning.

Twinning!

Brynn's cooking session of her FACS (Family and Consumer Sciences) class wrapped up and now they will be moving onto sewing after a career section. They did make quite a few good recipes, including this pretzel.

Clara was sad on Sunday afternoon because her friends were busy, so Brynn was comforting her.

So, the three of us went to the playground at Clara's school to play after dinner.

Ha - not sure what that face was for.

Playing 'Magic.'

My new fav pic of Brynn - except that she looks so old. :-(

Clara made some brownies from her cookbook.

My morning exercise group has a Facebook group and since it's Prom season, we were sharing our past prom pics. I remember this gem well!

And here it is again! We dressed up in our formal wear for our dance class on Wednesday morning. I didn't last too long in the dress before I had to shed it and just wear my normal work out clothes that I had on underneath.

Great pictures! Thanks so much for inviting Elise over - she had a great time. Haha, the picture of Dana & Brynn throwing up deuces. Elise's FACS class must be on the same timeline as Brynn's! They also just finished up foods and are working on sewing now. They're each sewing a pair of pajama shorts.

Oh man, I hear all about the game Magic on the playground at our school, too.

Brynn does look so grown-up in that photo! Love Clara's fleece pullover, so cute.

I remember that prom dress! You're still beautiful as ever!

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library. On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
