CA + Spring Break + Butterfly Ball

We were fooled into thinking spring was here for a few weeks, and then we were back to the reality of an impending March snowstorm...which didn't really materialize. We do have some snow the ground again now though.

We did try to take advantage of the weather one evening when it was still nice and got out in the side-by-side.

The girls had a whole week off again for spring break last week. Clara was able to stay at Grandpa and Grandma Froemming's and it looked like she stayed pretty busy!

I had to head to Anaheim again for our big trade show there. The weather was nice, the show went well and I was able to enjoy some hot tub time and reading.

The trade show offered yoga in the mornings so I took that in and it was really good.

I had Cheesecake Factory three times. Haha. It's so good and was within walking distance to my hotel.

Brynn stayed in Fargo during spring break and did some work for Jenine and hung out with friends and Hubert. She and Dad ate out a couple of nights.

Sadly, I missed the Butterfly Ball while I was in CA, but Brynn so kindly helped Clara get all ready and then took pictures for me too.

Clara chose Subway for their dinner out before the ball.

Clara was pleasantly surprised that Adria was in attendance too!

They had a great time!

I was glad to get back home on Sunday. Brynn sorted all the food samples I brought back from the trade show.

Jen (my boss) sent me Crumbl for a successful trade show celebration. She's so great!

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...
