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. 💓

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...
