Gunderson Adventures.... where all 6 of Us live life to the fullest!

We had a little lion and monkey with us tonight as we enjoyed the evening watching our boys light up peoples faces with their costumes. We did a little trick-or-treating, but we spent most of our night at church at our "Fall Festival" Carnival. Andrew had a blast playing games and getting treats! He was a little sugar high when we got back home. Micah was busy crawling around and impressing everyone with his amazing crawling and standing up abilities. We can't believe how fast our littlest guy is growing up! Andrew had fun coloring a pumpkin with us this year. Take a peak at the Gundersons amazing Pumpkins!

My brother and I are the crazy runners in our family! We took on the Twin Cities Marathon challenge on October 7th and trained like mad to get ready for the event. We began the morning feeling great and ready to take on the challenge before us, yet not knowing only one of us would finish. Ben was taking on his first marathon and was looking forward to finishing and enjoying this wild adventure! I however have done a few of these already and was aimed to kick some butt in the process. So, different goals, but the same idea in mind-lets run the race for Christ. The race did not go as planned for me. The weather was extremely hot and humid and it totally took over my body. All I can really remember is thinking, "Wow it is really hot and I am really sweating!" With little to drink I passed out at mile 10 of the marathon! My time at that point was 1 hour 7 minutes..... on track for an amazing marathon. Truly discouraged I attempted to get back in the race to pass out AGAIN at mil...

What a big boy! Alex and Asher are Andrew closest friends. Alex loves helping Andrew feel special and always includes him in on activities. Asher loves wrestling with Andrew and playing with balls. We had a great time celebrating Andrew's 2nd birthday! He had 2 great parties celebrating with Family and Friends. Although Andrew is still so young to grasp the total birthday effect, he definately felt loved and special. He are so blessed by Andrews energy and joy he brings to all of us each and everyday. We celebrated with family on October 7th at Nana and GGs house since we were in the cities. Grandpa made an amazing "Fishy" cake and put lots of love into it for Drew. This year Andrew had a "Fish" theme. Andrew took a little more interest in cake this year as he poked his fingers in the frosting to sneak a taste of his delicious cake. It was so fun celebrating with Great Grandmas and Grandpas, aunts and uncles, Great Aunts and Uncles, Grandparents, and us. Some ...

Wow how time flies! we are amazed that our little guy is already two. It seems like just yesterday that he was born and we were spending all of out time looking at him in his crib and playing with him on the floor. Now he is a real boy. Running around, kicking the football, cheering for touchdowns, and tackling his brother. Andrew brings us such joy as he is always laughing and smiling and thinking of new and creative ways to use all of his toys. We are all enjoying our fall, with trips to the cities and a Pastors retreat, jumping in to the leaves, and cool night walks we love this time of year. Take a look at these videos to see what we have been up to over the past few weeks.
