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!

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...
