Fun memories leading up to Christmas!

It's always lots of fun getting ready for Christmas!!! The boys have their favorite cookies they like to bake now and remember some fun traditions we try to fit into the Christmas season. Take a peak!!
Jake is crazy about squishing cookie dough balls with his glass cup and then putting sprinkles on top! We like to do this one when no other brother is around bc he likes to squish and sprinkle by himself!
 Our bubba man is an expert at cut out cookies, and these are by far his fave to eat! Micah jumped in here and helped with the cut outs too! Forget to take a pic!
 Drew's master pieces...
 Drew is great at frosting the cut outs and likes to put lots of frosting on them!

 Going to the winter parade is lots of fun to do together and the boys love it!! We've started gathering quite a crew of parade friends that like to join too!
 We smile bc the boys inch closer and closer to the parade floats...by the time a few have gone by the boys are almost half way out in the street!
 Love enjoying the magic of Christmas with these 4! Fun night watching the fireworks over lake Menomin together after the parade.
 The Christmas concert at church was a success!
 So sweet to watch little Jaker's sing "Away in the Manger"
 We have been playing lots of games around our house this December! I came into the living room to see these 2 playing Jacob's favorite game...curious george matching :)
 We haven't gotten much snow yet this year, but I captured this quiet moment on my run the other morning. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Maybe we will have some snow for Christmas??
 Jake and I had a great time at the 3k Christmas party together! He wanted us to make an ornament, eat cookies together and play with trucks and legos! Fun morning with him and his friends! I'm so glad he is enjoying some school time this year. It is so neat to hear him talk about his friends and always what he loves to do outside. Sometimes when I pick him up he has a cape on! He tells me he's super hero Jake!
We lost a tooth this Christmas!!! Caleb came to find me in my bed one early morning this week and said, "I lost my tooth mommy!" So exciting!! And his grown up tooth is already on its way!

Great Memories together that keep us smiling and laughing! Kyle and I are so excited to celebrate our Christmas through the eyes of 4 little boys...should be exciting!!!

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
