Florida part5 and final

Back to Ft. Myers to soak up a few more snuggles and beach time before heading home. 
This is Nana and GG's beach home. What a wonderful blessing it is. I loved the openness of it all, and the enclosed porch.


We went to a local beach on our last full day in Florida, and the weather was perfect. 
Kyle and I cherished every minute with our boys.


Drew got a really bad sun burn on his forehead that we actually had to get medication for while we were at Epcot. We were thankful that it didn't affect his vacation and he was able to have a great week. We used one of Jacob's shirts to wrap around his head to help keep his forehead covered and not exposed to the sun. Loved his attitude and he thought he looked pretty sweet with his new headband!
Love the pure joy flowing from the boys while they were at the ocean...I think heaven is going to feel like that. Free spirited and full of absolute Joy. :)




Muscle men at the beach!!
Caught these two holding hands and walking on the beach together. Thankful we are loved so much by our Nana and GG. What a beautiful home they have here in Ft. Myers Florida.
Fun afternoon to walk the beach with my sweetie and be with those we love the most!


I loved this picture of Nana, Kyle and the boys... best gifts. 
The Gunderson Crew!


This is the view out Nana and GG's house.
Hangin' out on the porch. Just chattin'!

Before heading home we were able to sneak in a fun night at the Twins Spring Training Game! The boys went in the morning to see the players practice and buy some cool Twins gear.
On our way to the game!

Great night watching the Twins vs Red Soxs


Great night cheering for the Twins!


Packed up and headed back home. Even traveling with these boys was really fun! Jake really liked the treats and yelled at the flight attendents to "Bring the snacks!" And trying to squeeze into the bathroom w Jake was an experience in itself! Watching him jump when the toilet flushed was hilarious! Oh these boys always keep Kyle and I smiling. :)
Jake thought we needed this pic to wrap up our trip! He took this one while looking out the window from the plane and says, "Mommy, we are above the clouds!"
Our vacation was incredible and filled with so many wonderful memories together. We are still talking about our week to Florida and the fun things we got to do and see and experience as a family. 

Florida 2016, we will always remember you!!!

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...
