Football + Kohl's Trip + Kevin's Birthday Party

We've been trying to make it to as many of the home JV football games as we can as that's the team Hubert plays on (which are typically on Monday nights). A couple of Mondays ago, it was rainy so Brynn did go with her friend, but Clara and I opted to watch from the comfort of our couch. I'm sure it was pretty miserable. :-(

Well, Clara and I were reading AND watching the game.

Oopsies. Brynn's umbrella malfunctioned.

Clara leveled up again in swimming lessons and just started a new session.

We made a quick trip up to Kohl's Resort with the ATVs and had a great afternoon of riding.

The fall colors were starting to appear up there.

We were able to catch dinner with Christel and John before we head to head back home as I had to teach Sunday school the following day.

Brynn and Hubert double-dated with another friend couple downtown last weekend and apparently it was gaming day at Broadway Square and they made it into the newspaper. I was surprised to see them when I was reading Monday's issue that morning! haha. You can see Brynn and Clara (friend) in the background on the left side.

We went out on Sunset Road as I've dubbed it on the side-by-side on a beautiful night last week. It's this low maintenance road just south and west of the high school that we've ridden out to before and have seen other people pulled onto to watch the sunset. It's already starting to get darker earlier around here. (I'm realizing what a crappy photo this ended up to be - apparently no daylight and a moving vehicle don't mix for a good photo op. ha.)

All of last year I had wanted to attend a varsity football game at Brynn's HS and never did make it. This past Friday I was able to get over there for the last half. It was a beautiful night for a game, but I was a little bored all by myself and as we all know, I haven't a clue what's going on, so I was missing Dana. They won against West Fargo, so it was a fun game to watch anyhow.

On Saturday we celebrated Dana's dad's 70th birthday a bit early at the lake with a party. Thanks, Christel and Holly, for the pics!

Love this one that Holly sent me from Sunday morning. 💓

Clara and I bummed around down at the orchard for a bit Sunday night. It was another gorgeous fall day.

After last night's game. They won against Fargo North.

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
