May 4th + Brynn Haircut

Brynn had decided that she wanted to get curtain bangs, so Dad booked an appointment with his stylist for Brynn... coincidentally May (the stylist) is in my morning XaBeat (dance class) group ...which is how Dana got to know her. And she is originally from Fergus, but quite a bit younger than Dana and me, so Dana didn't know her from school or anything.

Anyhow, she did a great job guiding Brynn to how she should layer the rest of her hair so that it would look nice with the bangs, etc. 




It turned out great! She was really happy with it.


Classic teen pose. ;-)

 

The next day was May 4th aka Star Wars Day: May the Fourth be With You! The Fargo Theater was showing the original 'Star Wars' movie on the 4th. Clara is a big Star Wars fan, so Dad took her out on the town to catch the movie. But before that they hit up Clara's fav, Blackbird, for some pizza and then Dad introduced Clara to Insomnia Cookies. They had a great time, though it got to be a pretty late night as the movie didn't start until 7:30 and they didn't even stay to finish the whole thing.






On Friday Tessa came to stay the night with the boys so she could go to Reagan's softball tournament. 

We had a busy Saturday which Clara and Oliver kicked off ahead of everyone else with a very early morning start to the day.

Uncle Dana helped Ben with his 4-H project before heading to Clara's first spring soccer game of the season. It was so miserably windy, my brain wasn't working properly and I never even got any pictures. I would have had to have been super quick, though, as Clara played for a bit before she took a tumble, got embarrassed and sat out the rest of the game, playing a side game with another boy and Oliver.

We hung out at our house in the afternoon until it was time for Clara's second soccer game and Reagan's last game of the day which Brynn, the boys and I went to watch.

I don't know how they did it in the horrendous wind! Ugh, it was so crazy, but fun to watch the team!

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...
