Field Trip+Last Day!

Como Zoo
Super fun day going to the Como Zoo with Caleb and his 1st grade class on the last week of school! We had lots of fun looking at so many really cool animals. Check out our day and see what we did!
 So exciting seeing the tiger walking around. Caleb was telling me how glad he was that the tiger was in a cage!
 The boys got right up to the glass to check out this polar bear. It is so much fun watching these bears because they do some interesting things! There were 2 bears to admire that day and one was rolling around by the window and the other was close to getting in the water as he kept walking right by the pool and peering in the water like he was ready to jump in!
 All set for the Sparky show!
 She did a great job!
 Fun morning with these two!
 We found out some pretty cool facts when we went into this building to check out a momma and baby girl giraffe. Did you know that giraffes are born 6 feet tall? Or that a giraffe only sleeps for 1 hour out of a 24 hour period? So yeah, we felt pretty smart after that cool stop!
 My little Gorillas! Great day with my zoo partners!!

Last day of School!
 Sure ready for these 4 to be home this summer!!! Lots of adventures are waiting for us and of course we have lots of baseball to play!! Thankful to be their mom.
 One more kickball game before summer begins!
 Crazy crew of Drew and his buddies! Here comes 5th Grade!!
Fave last day of school snack! Started this tradition a few years ago as the "It's Summer Time" kickoff!! Boys always wonder if they will get their own bag of Ranch Doritos and favorite Cheese Dip on the last day of school....it's those little things that they will remember.
Ready, Set, Go! IT'S SUMMERTIME!!!

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...
