Going to the Lake!

Summer 2014
Our summer was packed with so many wonderful memories as a family. We were all shocked when summer came to an end because it went by sooo fast! I haven't even blogged much because I have been soaking up every minute with my guys! However, I decided I really needed to sit down and reflect on our summer a bit. When asking the boys about their top favorite summer memories they answered by saying being together as a family at the cabin fishing with grandpa and grandma, and going to the lake in Spicer spending time with Nana and GG! Kyle and I are so thankful to be raising boys to LOVE spending time with their family!! These guys LOVE being outside ALL day long!!! 

I want to highlight our top favorite memory this summer. Going to the lake!! We took off 3 times this summer to the lake and each time we went was a bit different from each other. Here are all 3 trips and the special things we did that made each one a forever memory for us.
1. Going to the Lake the 6 of us + Nana and GG
The boys brought their fishing poles! They had a great time fishing off the dock together each day!
Showing GG their double wake boarding skills!

2. Going to the Lake with the Lewis family!

We were so excited to take the Lewis family with us to the lake this summer! We love spending time with them and we all love being in the water ALL day long!! This family has been such a blessing to us since moving to Menomonie. We often refer to them as our Menomonie family! We decided this needs to become a yearly tradition for us!
Megan, Ashley and I took the jet ski out for a ride! Love these girls!
Always coming up with silly stuff together! Love these jumps!

The 6 of them could possibly make it on their own without any adults. They take care of each other and watch out for one another like siblings. It has been so much fun to watch their relationship grow.
The Lewis/Gunderson family Gang!!
Mark and Caleb having some skiing time together. Caleb really looks to Mark for instruction and help in the water. So thankful for Mark's patience and love towards our boys!
Just the guys. Best friends and very similar personalities!
A perfect match. 
The Lewis/Gunderson family vacation was a success!!! 

3. Going to the Lake with Auntie Sara and Uncle Phil, Callie, Joey and Sam!!


Our final trip to the lake was extra special spending it with our amazing cousins. We loved spending time with them in the water and playing outside. Kyle took charge of the boat and had lots of fun with the kids!

Our Jake on the boat cheering his cousins and brothers on!!
Doing some Knee boarding!

So fun to spend time with auntie Sara! The boys LOVED hanging out with her on the jet ski doing LOTS of tubing!
Callie having some fun on the knee board!
Special time with GG.
Silly cousins and priceless memories!
Special time with Nana. She loves watching her boys on the water and showing off all their new tricks! A favorite for us all this summer was watching Andrew solum ski!!
Making memories with those we love so much at the Lake was a highlight for us!! 
Summer 2014 was  the BEST!!

Grandmas Marathon- getting faster!!

3:00:38 Grandmas Marathon PR!! I’m still smiling…things are coming along nicely in my marathon expertise! Haha, Im just being silly but I really am learning more as I go-what works best for me, what doesn’t.  June 17th was a blast!! Cramps hit strong in my left calf around mile 18 and then my pace got more limited as I went, I was so scared I would pull something that I tried to find the balance of push and hold up! Super proud of this race and the battle I fought. The marathon is a beast and continues to challenge me! Games ON still for the CIM Marathon on December 3rd. 😁First up though, trails and less miles for me for awhile. My friend Leah is a true gem, someone I really enjoy sharing running miles and life with. Kyle, Micah and I enjoyed time with Leah’s family in Duluth. Her sister Sara and brother-in-law Mike made us feel so welcome and special!  I’ve been getting faster and continue to PR each year since my late 30s, in fact the last time I raced Grandmas Marathon I ran a 3:16

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

Friday came quick!😅

 These full days have gone by super fast this week. Teaching full days to students who need my full attention, getting over a cold this week, spending time with all the boys each night, and keeping up with Kyle’s busy church schedule has had us all feeling like it has been a quick week! Micah and Caleb had a tennis meeting this week to get ready for their spring season, Kyle and I are really excited to cheer them on soon! Maybe sooner with how warm our weather has been this winter. It’s been fun to hear that Micah has been at the courts a lot already with his buddies, praying he has a solid season ahead for his Junior year.  Micah will be 17yrs old next Tuesday! It’s so crazy to think I have an 18yr old, almost 17yr old, 15yr old, and 12yr old….I wish I could keep them little.❤️ Each season of life looks so different. I never imagined this season looking the way it does. Working full time was never a dream of mine with such a busy family. However, God is so BIG. He is so much better in
