Father's Day + Other Goings-on

Grandma Holly had kindly given Clara her old digital camera. I didn't realize Clara took it to the zoo when she and Izabell went together. Clara let me download the pics off the camera.





She said her favorite was the bald eagle.

I found some other random pics on the card as well, so I thought I'd include a couple here.




Last weekend we road tripped down to Sartell to celebrate our friend Jessica's birthday.


We stopped by Dead Lake on our way home on Sunday for Father's Day. We had gone to my parents' lake earlier in the week and gave my dad his gift then, but I didn't get any pics, sadly.





Clara stayed overnight at the lake and we continued on back home.



Once Brynn got off work, we had some Rhombus Guys and Dana opened his gifts. He's holding a little torch that came in the cocktail smoker kit we gave him.









Happy Father's Day to all the dads! We are so blessed to have Dana and the grandpas. 💙

It was a gorgeous day so we went out for an ATV ride with Hubert and Brynn.








We had a busy day on Wednesday with Clara attending a pickleball clinic in the morning and then she and I took in yoga in the park which was at Rheault Farm. It was a perfect evening to be outside.




Then we met Grandpa and Dad at the RedHawks game. Unfortunately they lost, but we still had a good time.








I was reading The Forum on Thursday morning and saw someone familiar. Haha. She really enjoyed the clinic and learned a lot.


Thursday night Grandpa came back to Fargo and we went to the West Fargo Cruise Night. Dana brought his truck. It was super packed there, but nice to see a good turnout for it. We saw quite a few nice cars.

It's so nice to take advantage of the nice days out! Happy Father's Day to Dana! That was so cool that Clara's picture ended up in the paper! I'll have to ask her if she has any pickleball tips for me.

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
