September So Far

I have a lot of catching up to do on here.....

Labor Day weekend, we spent some time at Dead Lake. Clara and I rode my jet ski together....I think possibly for the only time this year. 😜 It was pretty windy, but we still had a good time. Dana got both of ours ready for winter storage.

On Sunday we got together at my parents' lake to celebrate my mom's birthday. Little piggy here was ready to party!

I was happily on fish fry duty with Elise. I get to snitch that way. 



Happy birthday, Mom! 💜






Oh goodness, did that go quickly! Thirteen years ago I posted on Facebook a pic of Brynn in Grandpa's new Chevelle, captioning it 'only 13 more years, Brynn, and you can drive it.' She had a blast taking it for a spin.



Dana had the ATVs with him, so Brynn and I tooled around Lake Park in the side-by-side.


We ended up at Hotel Shoreham for dinner. I had been wanting to check it out for a while, but we just hadn't made our way there yet. It was a fun place and they had great food. We all said we'd go back again. (Our old nanny, Taylor, works there so we got to say hi to her.)

Clara was able to spend the night and had some fun at the park and a stop at The Ranch for lunch before coming back home on Monday.





I think this was Monday night, the three of us biked down to the orchard.


Last weekend we spent the weekend at our friends' house in Sartell. Their son, Zander, who is our godchild is a senior this year so Roger and I did some senior pics of him.

Jessica taught Clara how to crochet. And Jessica gave her a crocheted blanket as a birthday gift.


Out doing pics.



Clara and I walked over to a nice park and hung out by the river for a while in the afternoon.






Brynn and I went with Hubert's family to his football game this past Monday night. Go Eagles!


Some recent pics of Clara from school.

They were matched with their kindergarten buddies. I remember Brynn having one and then getting one! I think I remember Clara having an older buddy when she was in kindergarten as well. So cute.

Wow, yes, lots happening in September already and the month is only half over! The car picture of Brynn is so great; gah, I can't believe all that time has gone by! I am dying at the picture of Clara and Dad at the Ranch, ha. Also fun to see the school pics of Clara!

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...
