Spring Projects!

As Kyle recently blogged, we have been super busy these days getting house projects done before the baby comes and youth summer ministry takes way! We thought it would be fun to show you pictures of all the things that we have been busy doing!

Andrew was a great helper digging the hole for the window!
The boys are admiring all of daddy's hard work as the egress window is almost finished!

The boys are now downstairs in their new room and loving it! We all love having the space to spread out in our house! The boys think their new room is really great!

Our next project was putting up a fence in our backyard! Here the boys are standing next to the cement machine and pretending to be helping. However, this project was a little harder for our little guys to help with. Luckily Kyle had some friends from church come over to help get the job done. We are so thankful for Steve, David and Pastor Erik! If you look closely you will see the beautiful fence in the background. We are loving the fence already! It allows both Kyle and I a peace of mind that Andrew and Micah will be safe playing together while I am busy with house work, new baby, etc!


Our third and final "big" project to our home was creating a new baby room for our new little guy! We loved our sports theme we had when Andrew was a baby so we pulled it out again and painted the room blue! Luckily Babies R Us still had some Sports Border so we bought some more to decorate the room. We are now officially baby ready and it feels great to have a room just for baby! We feel so blessed to be done with all the BIG projects we felt really needed to be done before baby comes! Now our house feels bigger and safer as we can now enjoy our soon family of five! Three weeks still to go and we will continue to work on smaller projects like putting in new plants outside and planting some flowers.

Getting better and getting ready to go home!

Hey There! We thank all of you so much for all of your prayer support through this entire process. Go sure had His hand in this from the beginning. Anna and Micah are both doing just great. Yesterday was a hard day for Anna, She was very tired and had a hard time as the Doctors began to take her off of some of the pain meds she was not feeling good. She began to get a high temp,but that was all taken care of by early in the night and she slept great. She will be again trying to get of the IV pain meds and move to pills, if this goes well today we will be on our way home to see Drew tomorrow. Anna and I are both really loving the calm personality that God gave to little Micah as we know the high energy that Drew has waiting for us at home. We can't wait to see his little smile again and hear all of his animal noises and cars sounds. It will be so great to see the way that God grows these two boys only 17 months apart. It will be crazy and great all at the same time. Pray ...

Big Bro Twin Cities Champion/Little Sis Big Woods 1/2 Marathon Champion

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...

Lately  I have been asked by many- “Now that you’ve accomplished one of your biggest goals, what’s next??” and to be honest I have been really soaking up my 2:58:01 marathon accomplishment and feeling extremely grateful my body felt so strong and healthy for that race. I will never take for granted a healthy body… many of you know my journey has included some pretty tough injuries along the way. So first, I really haven’t hurried to find a “next goal” but have sat in awe and thankfulness. All that to say I am a goal kinda girl and love a good challenge. So on Jan 1, 2024 I signed up to race the Javelina Jundred with some of my greatest running buddies! It will be my 2nd 100miler and this time will be held in Arizona (not Iowa) where it will be very hot. My goal tho will be to have a blast with running friends and finish the race- different then a road race goal….  I really love a good challenge!!  easy trail runs have started….and at the perfect time when the wild flowers...
