April: Part Two

We were able to celebrate Oliver's 7th birthday with him a few weekends ago...Dana also joined in on the birthday love since their birthdays are only one day apart.



Happy birthday, Oliver! I had never seen a kid so excited for his birthday. It was a great party!



Clara had fun running around with Sadie dog. (Photo cred: Tessa)


Clara recently got to be the secret student in her classroom. They also each received a caterpillar that they are keeping at school and taking care of as it transitions through the metamorphosis stages to a butterfly. 


Then we celebrated Dana's birthday for real. He and I were able to go out for lunch together.

We all went out to Texas Roadhouse for dinner.

Then Dana stocked up on muffins to bring for his birthday treat to the office.













An unwelcomed Spring guest: more snow. :-( 


Prom at Brynn's high school was last Saturday and we were able to watch the grand march on YouTube. So, we had a fun time doing that and oohing and aahhing over all the beautiful dresses. 

Brynn was then inspired to try on some of my old prom (and bridesmaid) dresses....along with Clara.





Snow is long since gone and now we're in the messy, muddy stage of spring. Clara was breaking in her new rain boots this week.



The whole tennis gang. They are finally having their first game this week. I hope to make it to at least part of Thursday's match. (I put a red circle around Brynn - she is on the right side. Brooklyn is in the middle, under the coaches.)



I didn't get any pics from the Family Fun Night at Clara's school because it was sort of non-stop crazy. haha. I had signed up to volunteer for the cookie walk, and with two cookie walking circles, I never would have been able to do it by myself, so I was so thankful that Brynn had decided to tag along - she was such a big help. We walked over and then this is our walk back.

The after party....Clara was invited over to her friend's house for a bonfire after the family fun night.


Clara and Adria went to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Froemming for a night. I caught glimpse of their master plan before we left to go meet Grandma. hehe. Busy, busy!

Brynn and I snuck in a little tennis yesterday afternoon.

The girls living their best life at the lake.


Thanks for having them, Grandpa and Grandma!

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!

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...
