Culver's, Bubbles, Track, Tennis, Sleepover

Dana and Brynn are watching 'Stranger Things' together. Just when they were working toward catching up, a new season just released.

Playing some baseball last Saturday...

Last Saturday night we also celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary by going out to eat and for a drink.

Dana was trying to find a bottle of wine from 2004, but they didn't have any.

Star Wars anniversary wishes from Clara.

Clara got chilly during outdoor worship on Sunday.

Thankfully she warmed up with her donut though.

Monday was Clara's second to last tennis lesson which I was able to come watch as Jenine was off that day. It was so fun to watch. There was another boy in this session who is also in track with Clara and I was just giggling at him the whole time because he was chattering away non-stop. He and Clara had kind of hit it off and became buddies.

We are so excited for and proud of Brynn that she started at Culver's with her first day on Tuesday. It's going pretty well so far and she is happy to be making some money this summer.

I can't recall who gave this bubble maker set to Clara, but I believe she received it for her birthday last year. She and Dana cleaned out the toys in the garage and she came across it and hadn't used it yet. We got it out this past week and had a lot of fun with it. So, thank you to whomever it was from!

I sucked Brynn into my baked oats affinity. So yummy!

The last track meet for this session was this past Thursday night. It was a beautiful night and Clara had a great ending to track and field! Her favorites were definitely anything that wasn't running. Haha. But, even on the 200 and 400-meter, she kept going to the end, even if she had to slow up a bit and then run.

The cheering you hear in the video is Clara's friend from tennis. So sweet!

Out on an evening walk with Brynnie. 😍

Telling me about the first season of Stranger Things.

Dana working on his '51.

These two hooligans had been cooking up plans for a sleepover all week.

Brynn made a countdown chain for our upcoming Outer Banks trip. Not long now!

Love the pictures of Clara laughing in the grass, so sweet. Happy anniversary! Glad you guys went out to celebrate! The tennis pics are so cute. Way to go on the new job, Brynn! We gave Clara the bubbles! Glad she likes them! Looks like fun at the splash pad/pool!

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.) They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match. Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
