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! 💗

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...
