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!

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.)   They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

 The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match.  Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
