Anniversaries

 Well, we have zero trees in our backyard now. :-( Some were dying and the others didn't look very good either and Dana wanted to start fresh with a new tree row if we had to cut down some anyhow. Last Saturday, Dana and Hubert cut down three of the end trees and while I was gone Dana finished the other three. It sure looks different out back now!

Hubert got cleaned up and took a break from logging to take some pics with Brynn in the orchard to commemorate their one-year dating anniversary. They are so cute. 💖






Our 20th wedding anniversary was on Wednesday while I was still gone on the Glacier trip. The day I got back,  Dana came home with 20 of my favorite flower.

Brynn found a recipe to make fried chicken so she thawed some chicken breasts from our freezer and she and Hubert breaded the pieces and Dana ended up jumping in to help fry...and to look cool evidently. 👀 It ended up being a midnight snack of sorts as I think they finished around 11:30 PM. They said it turned out really good though.



We had gotten free tickets to another RedHawks game which started out pretty rainy, so we ended up going an hour late and only staying a half an hour as all three kids weren't having a good time. So, they had some snacks and we headed back home. It was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle night, so that was kind of fun.


When we were down in St. Cloud for Jessica's birthday, she gave us this blanket she knitted for our anniversary. My mom had made a quilt that we gave them as a wedding gift when she and Roger got married. It was so thoughtful of her! It's very warm and cozy!

On Saturday to kick off our anniversary date, Dana and I went out about five miles south of our house for a side-by-side ride. It was so fun to just have some time to go for as long as we wanted and not have to get back home by a certain time.

We came upon a cemetery and it had this tiny church there so I made Dana take my picture next to it. It was so cute, but I was also giggling at how I look like a giant next to it.

When we got back, we got cleaned up and hit up Brewhalla before dinner at The Toasted Frog.


Dessert at Insomnia:




We found out they were having a comedy show at The Cellar below Front Street Taproom, so we bought tickets for that while we were at Brewhalla.



We came home and tried to be out by the fire until Dana got too cold. He should have had a wooly mammoth type sweater like I had on.


We were saying how fast 20 years has gone and we are both looking forward to the next 20 and beyond! 💗

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...

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...

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...
