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.

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

Clara's 11th Birthday

Clara celebrated her 11th birthday with a disco themed party with her friends and musical party with family. Happy birthday, Clara Rae! We love you! Brynn baked and decorated Clara's family party cake while Clara decorated the cupcakes she and I baked for her friend party. Dana and Clara turned the back garage into a discotheque and Clara made up a playlist for Dana to use when he was DJing.   I made her birthday baked oats the morning of her birthday. Brynn did an incredible job on the cake! After her own party, Clara was off to another one for her friend Elizabeth.  On Sunday Clara wanted to go to The Olive Garden for her birthday dinner out. They gave her a whole container of mints just for her. Ha.
