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!

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...

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...

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...
