Last of February + Ben's Birthday Party

Dad and Clara made a new sledding path on Snow Mountain. It was pretty sweet.

Brynn made us the following video when she was bored last Friday night. Enjoy!

While she was filming her video, we were to the bitter end of the Game of Thrones series. It only took us about two years, I think. Dana had watched it originally when it aired up to season six, I think it was. He wanted me to watch it with him so badly he started back at the beginning and together we made it through all eight seasons. I think it was about two in the morning when we finished.

Clara's wonderful unicorn drawing.

More of Brynn's prayer journaling art.

We were so delighted to get a visit from Nanny Jenine last Sunday afternoon. Of course she brought a box of treats for us to enjoy.

Brynn made a Disney-themed countdown chain to note the number of days we have until our Disneyland vacation.

Finishing Clara's Mandalorian puzzle.

Our jackrabbit friends at my office...

They were nowhere to be found the day we had yet another snowstorm last week. Fargo Public kids had already used up all the snow days and make-up days for this year, so the girls both did virtual learning on Wednesday. Somehow I made it to the office and back home again. :-/

The window at Courts was completely covered by snow.

Clara has been helping Dad with this truck project and gets into the small spaces that he can't.

Yesterday we picked up Tessa's Rosa's order in Fessenden for Benjamin's birthday party. It smelled so good during our 30-minute drive to Hurdsfield.

We were so glad to be able to celebrate with Ben for his 11th's birthday! Happy birthday, Benjamin. We love you!

We a fun evening hot tubbing and visiting and then headed out early this morning to try and get ahead of another storm that never materialized anyhow. We stopped at Casey's in Carrington for breakfast burritos.

I especially love the fruit of the spirit design! And that Disney paper chain! She is so creative. Loved the pics of Clara helping out in the garage. We're so glad you guys were able to come celebrate Ben's birthday and of course our hot tub chats are my fave!

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library. On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
