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! :)

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

Clara's 11th Birthday

Clara celebrated her 11th birthday with a disco themed party with her friends and musical party with family. Happy birthday, Clara Rae! We love you! Brynn baked and decorated Clara's family party cake while Clara decorated the cupcakes she and I baked for her friend party. Dana and Clara turned the back garage into a discotheque and Clara made up a playlist for Dana to use when he was DJing.   I made her birthday baked oats the morning of her birthday. Brynn did an incredible job on the cake! After her own party, Clara was off to another one for her friend Elizabeth.  On Sunday Clara wanted to go to The Olive Garden for her birthday dinner out. They gave her a whole container of mints just for her. Ha.
