August

I thought this picture was so cute of Brynn and Brooklyn when they said at Grandpa and Grandma Froemming's lake and wore Grandma's glasses. 

Brynn and Hubert made it to the Barbie movie. They both said it was really good.

Clara was showing me her yarn tricks from a book that Izabell gave her for her birthday.


Neighbor cat, Lucky, came over for a visit with Clara one morning.



Amanda and I attempted to attend the Sawyer Brown concert, but got rained out and by the time they were supposed to take the stage, it was going to be close to 9:30-10:00, so we went to Scoop N Dough and then home instead. And then I took a hot shower to warm up. 


Slow mornings will soon be coming to a halt once school starts on the 28th.


We went to our friends' house in Sartell, near St. Cloud for a long overdue weekend visit.





Yarn tricks with Jessica's mom.

The girls and I went to a nearby park that was along the Watab River.






We got to looking at Roger and Jessica's wedding albums.


Dana being a passenger princess on the way home.

Lilacs from our tree.

Brynn made some clay creations. 

Clara was able to check out her classroom this past week and 'meet' her teacher. She actually already knew him as he taught the golf lessons that Clara took through Fargo Parks last summer. She was hoping for either him or another teacher, so she was excited. She got to pick her desk and learned that there are several of her school friends in this class too. She did a reading assessment while we were there too. It's going to be a great year!

Brooklyn's sister, Rae, brought Clara's birthday gift that she had for her over and they ended up going for a swim.








I was near Streeter, ND yesterday getting drone footage of some flax and buckwheat production for work.

Yesterday was Izabell's last day with us as MSUM starts classes on Monday. They watched a movie and all three girls when to the mall and Clara bought herself a Build A Bear (which we now have at our mall in Fargo!). You can see her bear in the corner of the pic.


For the past two years (or more), Brynn and I had wanted to do pics in a sunflower field. We finally had a chance to do it last night. We were a little late in getting out there as far as losing daylight, but we still got a lot of good ones - I had a beautiful model! It was really fun. In fact, a photographer and a couple were just leaving as we were arriving. Ha. I'll do a separate post of just sunflower pics.

Shoot that was too bad about Sawyer Brown! That would have been a good concert. We were just lamenting the passing of slow mornings around here too. The pictures of Roger and Dana are hilarious. I am also dying at Dana being a passenger princess (or prince I guess, haha). Great to see Clara enjoying her new pool and the warm days while they're still here! Best wishes to Izabell as she starts her new school year. That is so cool that Clara got a build-a-bear! I saw they were opening at West Acres. I'll have to have her tell me all about it.

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!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
