Spring Break!

Wisconsin Dells-Mt Olympus!!
We took off as a family to Wisconsin Dells over the boys spring break and it felt so great to go play and be crazy together for 3 full days!!!
We enjoyed Mt. Olympus because it offered our family lots of variety and reached all the boys ages. From the amusement park (rides!) to tubing to the water park, we had a blast rotating from each.
I loved seeing Kyle squeeze into the tea cup with little Jake and big boy Drew. Hilarious!!
Daddy put silly bibs on all of us as we waited for pizza to come!
Andrew came up with a bib dance for us... that was awesome Drew!!
Bedtime snacks that ended each day....popcorn and sprite! a family favorite!
In addition we made sure to hit the arcade in the morning after breakfast, and a bit before heading home. The boys loved using their money ($2 each morning) to go play in the arcade! On our last morning we picked out our awesome, forever lasting slinkys that made it only till we got home THAT DAY! Kyle and I decided our boys are the WORST slinky owners EVER!!!

This is Jake's latest smile for us all...I think he is starting to feel like a big boy!!
Micah had to sneak in the store at Mt. Olympus and try on this hat for us...lovin' it Micah!!
Jake playing in the climbing/play house!
Hi Caleb! Lots of fun playing!!

Jake's favorite ride was the train!
Daddy and Micah racing!
A few pics of the Water Park! This was our favorite family slide!

The little boys loved hanging out in this sweet pirate ship!
Special icee treat!

Bowling time was a hit before heading home...

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
