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!

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...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

Clara's 11th Birthday

Clara celebrated her 11th birthday with a disco themed party with her friends and musical party with family. Happy birthday, Clara Rae! We love you! Brynn baked and decorated Clara's family party cake while Clara decorated the cupcakes she and I baked for her friend party. Dana and Clara turned the back garage into a discotheque and Clara made up a playlist for Dana to use when he was DJing.   I made her birthday baked oats the morning of her birthday. Brynn did an incredible job on the cake! After her own party, Clara was off to another one for her friend Elizabeth.  On Sunday Clara wanted to go to The Olive Garden for her birthday dinner out. They gave her a whole container of mints just for her. Ha.
