October Birthdays!

October is birthday month around here, and we have 2 boys who get super excited to celebrate their special day! Drew had his Golden birthday this year! Turning 9 on October 9th! And Jake turned 3 on October 12th!
Its always fun to brainstorm birthday party ideas to do with our friends and with family. This year, Drew wanted to go rock climbing with his friends and play baseball with his family! We were all excited to celebrate these 2 boys!!!
Drew has made such nice friends here in Menomonie. We are so thankful for his good friends Charlie, Isaac, Wyatt, Brady, Walker, Garrett and Preston. They think Drew is the coolest! They were all pumped to go rock climbing!!!

Opening gifts and being crazy with friends is the best!! Drew loved every minute with his buddies and celebrating his 9th birthday!
Grandpa made this awesome baseball cake for the boys! They loved it and it was really tasty! The boys love having their family here to celebrate with!

We had lots of fun playing baseball outside with the whole fam! The weather was perfect and the players were competitive! It was a blast!

Presents were awesome!
Happy 3rd birthday Jake! We love you!


Both guys got to go out to lunch together for their birthday! They chose Applebees! Chips and salsa is a favorite, and of course some Mountain Dew to drink! Love their smiles! We love these guys to pieces and can't believe how fast they are growing up!!!

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...
