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!

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
