Start of Summer

We are in full summer break mode! Clara kicked it off by visiting the pool the first day it opened with Cora and Violet who kindly invited her to join them.


Izabell and Clara put together this epic summer bucket list of activities they want to do together. Looks like they have a great summer planned. 

Dana and I hit up No Bull Smokehouse ahead of taking in 'Speed' at The Fargo Theater which was part of their 90's "Blast your face off" action movie series.

I love this movie and owned it on VHS and had the movie poster hanging in my room when I was a teenager. 

Last week Clara attended VBX at church. The theme this year was Campfire Stories with a full summer camp set. She had a great time again.



Hanging out with Brynn while she was folding her laundry.

Brynn introduced Hubert to Black Coffee & Waffle Bar. So yum!

Last night she made some homemade peanut butter swirl brownies. 

Dana and Clara got her pool set up last night so she is set to go with that. Clara and Izabell have been really busy checking things off their bucket list.

Brynn got a job working at Dry Goods in the mall. She's getting quite a few hours...perhaps more than she would like, but at least she'll be able to make better money rather than just working a couple of hours here and there.

We had cousin camp last weekend so I will work on getting that post up soon!

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
