My Dad's story

My dad was asked to give a speech at the Truman, MN Memorial Day Service. He and 6 of his classmates/friends were drafted all at the same time. One of them happened to be his best friend, Ronnie Karau. My dad and the others made it home, but Ronnie did not. Please watch this touching video...and dad I am so glad you came home...and were able to share this story!!!


Please leave comments for my dad to read. I know he would appreciate that.

Skydiving and other random events

So my mom and her friend Peggy decided that they would like to go skydiving...so they signed up. I told Ryan about what these crazy gals were going to do and he said "Sign me up too"...so I did. They had an amazing experience and all said that they would do it again. (Try not to stare at Ryan's package)

Peggy in toe...camera crew in all


We went to the fair. Dylan loved going on all of the rides. We went with his friend Sam and his cousin Miranda. They had a blast of course.




Lisa Sands (Olson) stopped by for a visit. This is her happy little guy Jack. He is such a good baby...and Lisa is such a good mommy!


While Lisa was over, Gen & Sam and Heather & Austin stopped over for a visit too! Look at all of the boys. So cute:)


We have also been hitting the local water parks this summer. Austin and Heather joined us on our last trip to the Fairmont Water Park.


Two more exciting announcements to share...Heather is still cancer FREE and Shanny is having a baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It just doesn't get any better than that!
