Last Week of School!!

Andrew and Micah were excited for their special field trip days before summer began! Micah's kindergarten class was suppose to go to the Environmental Site but the weather was too rainy and got cancelled. :( Micah was super bummed and so we decided that I would still come to school and enjoy time with him and his friends! 
We shared a great lunch together and tried to make the best of our morning together! It was so nice of Mrs. Fedderson to invite me to be apart of their morning learning activities and finish our special morning with lunch and recess. 
We jump roped together at recess and played kickball! When it came time for me to leave Micah was really sad. We waved to each other all the way till I got to my van. A really hard mommy moment for me! Wanted to just take him home with me! SO glad we had this morning together! Love you Micah!
Andrew's first grade class had its BIG field trip to the Como Zoo!! I rode the bus with Andrew, and Kyle and boys drove and met us at the zoo. I was really glad I had that hour to visit with Andrew. Going into the day with no expectations, Andrew made me feel so proud to be his mom that day. Andrew held my hand in the bus and we talked and played spelling games the whole way to the zoo. I am so glad I decided to ride with him so I could be blessed by that moment with him.
Drew loved the monkeys! They were so busy that day so we thought we'd get a picture of Drew with the monkeys! Andrew, you continue to blow us away with your kindness and gentle spirit. We were so proud of you at the zoo as we watched you laugh with your friends, hold our hands, take care of your brothers and gave us lots of hugs to thank us for coming and spending the day with you. You are growing up to be exactly the big guy I know God is wanting. Neat!
Andrew's friends are smart, loving, caring, funny and busy!! We enjoyed spending this day with you!!
On the last day of school Caleb and Jacob were enjoying their last moment together on the front step just the two of them before they have to share their mommy mornings with two big brothers! I have really enjoyed spending time with Caleb and Jacob this year while Andrew and Micah have been in school. We have really enjoyed playing at home, going to story time, having play dates in Eau Claire with our greatest friends Elliott and Owen and Alaina and Natalie, baking banana bread, going to the park, reading stories, playing with Landyn on Mondays, spending endless hours in the basement during the winter months playing toys... So the boys sit enjoying a quiet moment eating popsicles before the boys come home for summer!!!
 Schools out for summer!!! Andrew finished first grade and Micah completed kindergarten!! Way to go boys!! You are both growing up SO fast!!! Looking forward to a great summer as a family!!!
Mom and dad are so proud of you boys!!! Your teachers are so proud of you too. You are great readers and bright students who are loving and kind to those around you!!! So incredibly proud!!!
Welcome Summer 2013!!!

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

Image
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

Wolf River White Water Rafting Youth Trip!

Image
We were able to start the tradition of taking the International Falls youth to the great Wolf River. We took a great group of kids who did not know what to expect and drove the 10 hours to the river. We spend 2 days rafting and then hit the road for home. The students and leaders had a great time navigating the rapids themselves, flipping a boat or two and of course the water falls were a huge hit. U had the opportunity to sit down at the camp fire and one day in our boat with some of the students who do not regularly come to our ministry and talk about the relationship with Christ. These discussions where by far the highlight of my trip, getting to encourage students in their faith and hear the testimony about how they came to know the Lord was just awesome. Our first night it rained more than i have ever seen, and most of our tents stayed dry. But our two days on the river could not have been any better bright sun and 85 or so which is really hot for us from the far north. We had on
