June

Summer is in full swing over here. Our nanny, Izabell, started with us last week and she is so great. Clara made a list of things she wants to do with her. They've been pretty busy so far.

Last week was Vacation Bible Xperience at church. Brynn was a small group leader and Clara attended.

I made sure I got to the church in time for the confetti bomb.

Brooklyn's birthday was last Tuesday so Brynn celebrated with her and some friends...and this beautiful charcuterie board they put together.


Tessa and Reagan stayed with us last weekend as Reagan had a wrestling camp she was attending. Dana made ribs and Reagan and Clara stayed in for those while Tessa, Brynn and I hit up Blackbird... and Scoop-N-Dough. ;-)

Holly got our wedding video footage digitized and gave us a copy as well so Tessa and I were watching that with the girls. Brynn dug out my wedding gown and we had fun trying it on. 



Clara put on two circus shows for us on Sunday. Quite entertaining! 






The girls have been able to sleep in now that it's summer vacation...along with staying up late!

Dana, Clara and I made it to a RedHawks baseball game last night while Brynn went to the movies with a friend.

As we were making our way on the sidewalk to Neuman Field, a pick-up truck pulled over and handed Clara a ball.



She was able to have Hawkeye sign it.




We partook in all the yummy game foods: pretzel, cheese curds and ice cream!


Izabell and the girls hit up Kingpinz today for some fun.

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...
