Spring

I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do on the blog here. 

I'll start with the Chris Stapleton concert we went to in Grand Forks with Tessa, Chad, Cody (Chad's brother) and Tia. Tessa had made a dinner reservation for us at the Blue Moose. It was really good.

I do like Chris Stapleton's music so I enjoyed the concert. He sounded great.


I will cover all the April birthday festivities in a separate post, but Clara went to stay at Duck Lake with Grandpa and Grandma Dietz while Dana and I went to Tessa's birthday Bunco party. Of course she stayed pretty busy between card games, the library and sewing.






Doing homework...

 I love that Brynn still enjoys drawing and doing art.



It's Pascal from the Disney Tangled movie.


Clara tagged along to Dead Lake with Dana to get our jet skiis into the water. It was a beautiful weekend for weather and now this week we've barely made it through this wind and colder temps.

Our first deck date of the season. No bugs yet!

While Dana and Clara were at the lake, I took Brynn and her friend out for dinner at one of my fav downtown places: 46 North Pints & Provisions.

Having a cookie on my walk.

I got Brynn out on the deck with me for a bit.

Hahaha - oops!

I keep seeing this shirt on Facebook and it cracks me up every time. I think Brynn thinks it to be lame. Don't care.

Sunday night we did DIY pizza and some of us chose calzones.

...including me. They turned out so good.

Hubert went the traditional route.


Brynn came home early from school one day not feeling well and Hubert brought over some flowers and a Squishmallow. The gifts definitely lifted her spirits!

A scene from Friday (April 19th). :-(

Brynn's tennis season has started, and she is playing this year, instead of managing. Unfortunately they've already cancelled the first two matches due to weather.

That pic of Clara doing her homework is great - so grown up! I spy your Wells Co Bears sweatshirt! I have seen that saying but not the t-shirt and I think it is great as well :) Yummy calzones!! Good luck in tennis Brynn! I hope the weather pans out for some matches.

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
