Fourth of July Week 2024

I think I missed posting this photo earlier, but on our way out to Lake Park, we first stopped at this Black Cat Bakery in Moorhead to check it out. I had put it on our summer bucket list. We picked up some yummy treats.

I was on a bike ride one evening and was rushing to get back as it looked like some weather coming in.

Brynn and Hubert road tripped to Dead Lake and visited with Grandpa and Grandma Froemming and did some fishing.

We spent the Fourth and Fifth at Tamarac with the Weckerly side. We had such a fun time.

I tried making some festive drinks for Tessa and me and they didn't quite turn out as I had hoped. Sorry, Tessa!

Uncle Dana took the kids back to Fargo to load up on fireworks and they put on a very nice show with what they got.

Brynn and Hubert were able to come out on the Fifth with us, which was an even nicer day for being on the water.

We had a good game of Nerts going and Zorbaz for dinner.

And then back out for more swimming...

We squeezed in the annual photo of auntie Tessa, Clara and Prairie. Clara and Prairie sure seem older this year especially as they both turn 10 next month.

On Saturday we had the Froemming get-together at Dead Lake. It was a beautiful day until the monsoon struck, but we still all had a good time visiting with lots of good food.

Dana just can't help himself with this pose.

Fish and turtle fry!

Yay, what fun! That is a great picture of Brynn & Clara with their life jackets on. Love, love, love the picture with Clara & Prairie - can you send that to me? Looks like fun at Dead Lake, though I'm not sure about the turtle! :)

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...

End of Summer

Nanny Izabell was done with us mid-August as she got a full-time job. We had another great summer with her and she and Clara accomplished a lot from their summer bucket list. Clara busted out the kite Dad bought for her in Myrtle Beach. She really had fun with it. Dana with the crew from Dude's Weekend. You can see brother John third in from the left. With Izabell's departure, Clara went to stay at Grandpa and Grandma Dietz's. She spent some time at the lake and in Carrington. Dana FaceTimed Clara's swim meet she participated in while I was in Chicago so I could watch and cheer her on. She won both races she was in and overall for the categories she competed in. It was very exciting! She was home for a bit and then off again, this time to Grandpa and Grandma Froemmings'! But first, one last swim sesh in for the year...with Adria! Brynn babysat for Clara's friends and they made this cute sign. Grandma Holly surprised Clara with a visit by Dana's cousins kids ...
