Reagan Graduation + MDW + Tennis

This past weekend our oldest niece, Reagan, graduated high school. She will be attending UND for nursing in the fall. We're so proud of you and love you so much, Reagan!

 

Cousin Cayden had his Italian soda bar set up at the party which was super fun and a big hit.

She opened a few gifts the night before her commencement.

Reagan is the third generation to graduate from Harvey High as my mom and her dad, Chad also attended there.


This was such a fun gift idea that Tessa put together from her and Chad.

We got back home Sunday evening and between the four of us doing different things, spent most of Memorial Day outside. It was such beautiful weather. Brynn and I played tennis and Dana and Clara replaced some shrubs and did yardwork.



The tennis season has wrapped up for Brynn now. She's sad to not be playing anymore, but still gets some court time between playing with friends and sometimes Clara and/or me. We're so proud of her and glad she played again this year.

I had taken some video of one of Brynn's matches and Brynn pulled a few still photos from those.

She did play with a couple of different partners, but would typically also play singles at the matches as well.






They always hold a banquet at the end of the season which was last night. Each player receives a participation certificate and they hand out some additional awards. And they serve a potluck dinner! So many good dishes.

This was Coach Emily's first year coaching (for varsity). She got emotional during some of her remarks.

Brynn played on the JV-A team. They were supposed to play in an invitational a couple weeks ago, but got rained out. Brynn was so disappointed. So Emily gave all the girls who were supposed to play in the invitational tennis balls as a gift.






The JV-A team.

One of Brynn's partners she started out the year playing with until Zoe moved up to varsity.

Carrington was not Brynn's other partner, but just a friendly teammate.

We still have six more days of school to go until summer break. The final countdown!

Thank you again so much for being there for Reagan's graduation! It meant so much to have you guys there and a big thank you for all your help both before and after the party! It was so great to see Brynn do tennis again this year. I love her photo - so profesh! It looks like it was a very nice end-of-year banquet. I still can't believe you guys are still in school! Hopefully the last week goes by fast!

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 ...
