Everyday w Jake~

Kyle and I are enjoying all these little moments with our youngest Jake to the fullest extent because we know how fast time flies before this dude will be off to school with his brothers. Here are some fun pics of Jake making the most of each day~
 On the first day of school for all the brothers, Jake and I celebrated by going preschool shopping and having Culver's for lunch. We talked the whole time and really dipped our french fries in lots and lots of ketchup!
 Jake's 1st day was a success! He really liked that his backpack matched his new tennis shoes!
 One of Jake and my favorite days together is Wednesdays. Jake LOVES story time at the library!! Most Wednesday mornings we are packed into this room and ready for Ms. Debbie to read fun stories and sing silly songs!
 Jake especially loves big kid time when he gets to go with all the kids his age and do fun projects.
 This day they made rainbows! Hard to believe this is maybe our last year of story time as he will be headed to 4k next year. I will be one sad mommy!

 Kyle had a blast taking Jake to the children's museum. They put bricks up on the house! Nice boys.
 This pic makes me smile because Jake had to hose off his shoes after him and I went worm hunting! So funny that he needed his bike helmet for the hunt- I guess some of our worm hunting he was on his bike so it kinda makes sense. But, he was pretty sure I needed my bike helmet on too (and I was not on a bike!) . :) I love these little moments together, just Jake and me.

 And before finishing up, I must include our daily afternoons playing sports in the yard. Jake loves to boss me around and tell me what to do and where to stand. He is totally in his glory bc there are no brothers bossing him around, its his turn to tell me whats up.
Here is the face that says, "Just like this mom!"
Everyday with you Jake is so sweet!! Love you little man.

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...
