Mother's Day

What a wonderful Mother's Day!

Earlier in the week Brynn had sent me this collage of a photo for each year since she's been born of her and me together. 💜💜  


Since we saw my mom on Saturday we gave her our gift from us then. 

Post-church photo. 

After we got changed from church, we headed for Dead Lake and met Holly and Kevin for lunch in Erhard. Mothers got a free dessert. Yay us!

We brought some ATVs with and went riding around Pickerel Lake nearby. It was a beautiful day out.

Thanks to Brynn for always being my driver. :-)



We headed back to Fargo in time for dinner at Plaza Azteca - the new location is now open which is close by our house. Yay! The fam dropped me off with my iPad so I could read and sip a mule while I waited for our table. Not long after they brought me some chips to snack on at the bar, our table was ready and Dana and the girls came over to join me.


Dana got our deck furniture out so we were able to enjoy some time out there while I opened my gifts. Clara made me a coaster at school. It featured a small scene from the time my Fatty cat brought that innocent little bunny rabbit into our 38th Avenue house. LOL. Clara wasn't even born yet when that happened so I'm not sure where that came from to add it onto the coaster, but I loved it all the same!

I also got a new pair of shoes that I wanted and this cap that I'm sporting in the picture. Brynn designed my card in Illustrator which turned out so neat. Dana's card made me cry.

I am so thankful for our mothers and for my girls. 💓

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
