May Things + Tennis Banquet

We're so glad the weather is finally nice!

I loved this note. :) It gave me such a sweet chuckle and made me wish they could stay little forever.

Dana in all his yardwork glory.

Last Friday I celebrated 20 years at my job!

Throwin' in back to old country.

Clara's class did a caterpillar project and just the other day released the butterflies that made it all the way through to that stage.

Last night was a tennis banquet at Brynn's school. It was a potluck dinner with awards and a slide show. I enjoyed meeting the coaches and putting some faces to names I've heard Brynn mention. I can't believe the season is over already! The team did really well!

Brynn was one of the managers and Brooklyn played.

One of the girls brought Capri-Suns for the potluck. haha. Love this picture.

Poor Clara came down with a nasty case of croup on Monday and stayed home from school again today. She got some good rest so hopefully she'll get a good night's sleep tonight and be able to go back to school tomorrow.

It was a bit of a windy, chilly night on our side-by-side ride tonight.

Brynn putting in the work on her Invisalign. Turns out they aren't any less painful than braces. :-/

Love Clara's note, aw. That picture of Dana with the weed eater is gold. Congrats again on 20 years! What a fun celebration! I'm glad you were allowed to go to the tennis banquet, ha. I hope Clara is feeling better, poor thing! Same for Brynn and her teeth!

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...

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...

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...
