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.

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...
