January to February

We stayed busy in January with some good outside time, friends, family and losing teeth!

The girls and I went out to my parents' lake for a visit and Grandpa did some sledding with us.

Clara getting ready for church. 💚

Out for a walk. Clara likes to climb on all the boulevard snow piles.

Clara's class took a field trip to the Plains Art Museum. They got to make clay cupcakes.

Brynn is really enjoying her graphic design class that she started in this new semester at school. This was the first thing she made. So cute!

Guess who?

Clara finally lost her front tooth that had been hanging on for dear life for what seemed like forever.

The tooth fairy brought her $2.25.

Vesties besties!

Clara played over at Adria's house last Saturday and then Adria came over to play on Sunday.

Clara had two of this same headband so they could be twinning.

Brynn switched over to digital art for our prayer journaling. So beautiful.

Adria was back at our house for an overnight and Clara's other front tooth fell out. haha. I think Clara was even surprised - we didn't realize it was so loose. I was chuckling at this picture of them because there isn't many teeth left between these two.

Second note to the tooth fairy.

Finally we had some nice weather yesterday after bitter cold for at least a week straight. Clara had been wanting to go back to our church near the back parking lot where they have pushed up massive hills of snow to do some sledding and Brynn wanted to go find a big hill somewhere near home, so this was a perfect spot.

Brynn baby-sat Clara last night while Dana and I went out for a little date night. We found ourselves at Scheels looking at cowboy boots for Dana. I'm surprised as you are. haha. I guess he had been wanting a nicer boot or something that he could wear in the winter as all he had was some summery loafer type shoes that weren't cutting it in the snow.

He did find a pair, which was neither of these that are shown above, but he's very happy with his purchase!

Then we stopped at Frank's for long island teas on our way home.

I'm glad Dana found some boots that he liked :) The toothless picture of Adria & Clara is truly great. I love Brynn's designs. The braces on the Popsicle - so cute. Is Dad wearing your hat in the sledding photos? Haha.

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...
