Micah's 7th Birthday!

We had a great day celebrating Micah's 7th birthday with him. He was excited to go to Culver's for lunch on his special day!! He loves their buffalo chicken tenders, french fries and root beer!! And even better when he gets to sit right next to daddy and feel super duper special!! 
I simply can not believe how fast these 7 years have gone....I still remember the days sitting in church during my 9th month of pregnancy barely able to sit up straight!! Now we are shooting hoops and playing catch with a football!!
Jake got in on the special lunch with his big brother!!
After school we enjoyed this awesome birthday cake with Micah! Thank you to our sweet neighbor and friend Erica for loving on our Micah man. It was delicious!
Micah was pumped about his party day with his friends and family. Mario Kart was a real hit!! We had lots of fun enjoying Micah's favorite things....
Making homemade pizzas...

Eating lots of Mario treats and drinks...
Bowser bubble gum, Luigi's spare tires, Yoshi eggs, Banana peels....
Micah had so much fun celebrating with his friends!! We had 12 boys (including our own) in our house loving on Micah and making him feel extra special!!
DQ stars for dessert!!
We are so thankful Micah has made such wonderful friends from church and school.

Next came Micah's family party and we enjoyed making pizzas with our cousins!!
It was fun watching Micah take time to read each card this year and be thankful for his gifts.

Family parties are so much fun!!
Special birthday cake made by grandpa!! Our favorite!!:)
Micah enjoyed everything about turning 7 years old and told us, 
"I think that was the best birthday yet!"
We love you Micah!!! So glad we could make you feel loved and special this week. Your smile, creativity, silliness, laughter, thoughtfulness and the way you love all of us is truly a gift everyday!! The Lord has BIG plans for you and we pray each day that He would give you the opportunities to learn and grow to become the handsome guy he is preparing.

Your life verse I pray over you:
Micah 6:8
"...and what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."

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
