More May

A couple of weeks ago, Brynn finished up the tennis season already. Clara, Hubert and I were all able to attend her last game and it was a toasty one! We'll have the end of season banquet tomorrow night which Brynn and I are both looking forward to. 

Clara had one of her classmate friends, Elizabeth, over to play after school one day. Clara has made at least three trips to Hobby Lobby in the past two weeks to stock up on yarn for her finger knitting craze.



I showed up at school for my end-of-school-year lunch surprise date with Clara. We ran to DQ and came back to eat quickly in the parking lot.


Brynn and I spectating one of Hubert's rugby games. I can't remember what Brynn thought was so funny. She was probably laughing at me about something. ha.


Clara and Dana baked one of Clara's specialties, chocolate chip scones. They didn't last long around here. So tasty!


Aldi had strawberries for just over a $1.00 a pack last week. Score!

Amanda and I attended the Willie Nelson concert with on of Darrel's and her friends, Enrique, at Bluestem on Thursday night. The concert was originally scheduled for Wednesday night, but it was pouring rain and windy, so they rescheduled for the next night and I was so glad they did because it was absolutely beautiful weather the next day. Willie sure seemed old and tiny up there on the stage, but he did a great job.


You could see his signature long braids and bandana up on the stage from where we were. There really isn't a bad seat at this venue.

On a yarn run and we saw all these cool Star Wars appliances.

Friday night we took in the Asian Market held at the Plains Art Museum. Mostly they had different vendors for art, food, etc. so we walked around and bought some bookmarks, our favorite treats from the Asian & American Market (grocery) and Brynn got a henna tattoo. It turned out really cool.





Brynn made a tres leches cake that turned out really yummy.

Elizabeth came for a sleepover last night. 💜










Movie time...



Brynn and Hubert went four-wheeling to the orchard.



Brynn and I snuck in waffles at Black Coffee + Waffle Bar this morning. Always delicious.

Clara and I made some cookies for her bus driver who is just the best.

That is so cool, I didn't know Clara was in to finger knitting. She'll have to send me some pics of what she makes. Those scones look delish! I wish I had been at Aldi to scoop up the strawberry deal. They look great. Our house went through three packages last night alone, gah! Very cool Henna tattoo - what a fun outing. Sweet pictures of Clara and her friend! Love all the spring goodness.

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
