March

Aside from my separate post on our California trip, here's what else we were up to in March...

Before we left (for CA), we had Clara's parent-teacher conferences. She's doing great!

Over St. Patrick's Day weekend, Clara got to stay at Grandpa and Grandma Froemming's. 

She FaceTimed with Brynn.

I think it was while Dana and I were at a Force game with friends, Alex and Kailey.

Brynn and I tried to find some 80s skiing gear at Savers in preparation for 80s Day at Detroit Mountain.

Clara was out helping Dana blow snow and good thing, I guess, because legend has it she had to help him out when he got stuck. hehe.

Clara was excited to start lessons back up again at Foss.


After hours shenanigans. 



Dana made us an chocolate chip oatmeal cookie in the air fryer.

Brynn has been busy in her graphic design class. She made this MSUM Dragons logo and it turned out amazingly. 

It was a great day for skiing when the 80s ski day rolled around. Elise and Reagan were able to join us and Dana and Clara went tubing.


Dana and Clara got home before we did. When we returned, I found Dana taking a nap, but couldn't find Clara...until I saw the note she had left for Dad. :-)

Catch Phrase...



Elise and Brynn made their delightful apple snack cake recipe.


I love how much this girl loves to read!


Clara wrote a note to her teacher. 

My boss showed me some serious love this week by having Crumbl delivered to our house when I was working from home one day. I didn't know who was at the door after the caller knocked. I waited to see if he or she would next ring the doorbell and sure enough, I heard the doorbell and ran over to Google home screen to see who it was on the camera and spied that pink box! :-D 

Brynn is on her next round of Invisalign to straighten her teeth. At her check-up this week, they set her up with this device that hooks up to her phone with an app. It scans her mouth and sends the file to the orthodontist's office which will alleviate us needing to physically come into the office to check Brynn's progress. Technology, man! I was cracking up at this photo. 

Someone let these two loose in Scheels. Unfortunately, they didn't come home with these bad boys. Shame.

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...
