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!

January Recap

Right before Christmas break was done, Brynn and  I went downtown to Nichole's for some graduation planning. Making lefse! Clara finished up her time in robotics league with a presentation of the robots and mission that she and her partner/friend, Elizabeth, had been working on. Here's a video compilation of two of the missions they presented. It was so cool. I especially liked the one that picked up the rocks. Some of Brynn's recent drawings. Bedtime snuggles. 💜 I was messaging with Clara's teacher to see if he could let her know that Brynn would pick her up from school one of the very cold days last week. He wrote me back to confirm Clara received the message. I asked Clara when she got home if she wrote that last sentence. Haha. Clara had her first swim meet on Saturday, which was a 'home meet,' hosted by Clara's team, the Red Dragons at Moorhead High School. She was disgruntled about getting up at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning, but each team had specifi...

Clara's Recital + Scouting Event + XaFriendsgiving

I was in full fall mode watching 'When Harry Met Sally" in my turkey leg slippers the other night. Dana and I went out to eat at Granite City on Friday night and I think I found my signature cocktail for Christmas. It's called Snow on the Beach and it was so pretty and tasted really good! Saturday morning Clara had her piano recital and did a great job! Thank you to sister Brynn and the grandparents for coming. After lunch with everyone (family, not the other piano students), she was off to the next thing which was  a Scouting event at NDSU. She had to miss the morning session because of the recital, but in the afternoon they made a tool box. It turned out great. That night we had the XaBeat (the exercise dance class I go to) crew with spouses over for a little XaFriendsgiving. It was super fun. Dana mixing up old fashioneds. There was no shortage of food - it was an amazing spread. Dana smoked a couple turkey breasts that turned out really well and the stuffing sausage bi...

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...
