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.

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...
