Andraya - the Bike Rider

It only took about 30 minutes one night in Luverne (thanks, Shari) for Andraya to learn to ride her bike! Now she's a pro - she's even ridden twice on the bike trail around Lake Pahoja (about 3.2 miles)!

Camping Fun

Remembering...

We went to both the Larchwood and Inwood cemeteries on Memorial Day to remember Grandpa Randy and baby April as well as Grandpa Virgil, Grandma Margaret, and many others.

Ryan's 1st Haircut

Well, after 2 1/2 years and a head full of "goldy locks," Ryan finally got his first haircut. I had postponed this for about 3 months (I had an appointment scheduled for February 10th), so I figured with summer right around the corner, it was about time! It helped that Aunt Jamee cuts our hair!!!! He was SO good and sat SO still! And he was SO PROUD when it was all done!

Andraya's Piano Recital

Andraya did an AWESOME job at her first piano recital. It was held on Sunday, May 23rd, at the Seeds of Faith Church in Lester. She played 2 songs, Tub Time and Octave Blues.

Visiting Grandpa Randy's Gazebo

After Andraya's piano recital on Sunday (23rd), which was in Lester, we decided to head over to Alvord to show the kids the gazebo which was built in memory of my dad, Randy Childress. Being back in Alvord that day and the night before (for a benefit) brought back many wonderful (and sad) memories from growing up there (on a farm 2 1/2 miles out) with my dad as well as a very good friend, Jami! I was so glad to finally show the kids this wonderful memorial that my uncle Rick built after Dad died.
