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.
