Gunderson Adventures.... where all 6 of Us live life to the fullest!

October is such a special month for our family because 2 of the 6 of us have birthdays! Drew and Jacob...our big and little guy! We had lots of fun celebrating these special guys!  I've gotta say Drew is incredible about encouraging Jacob in all he does.  I couldn't be more proud of the big guy Drew is becoming. We ran in the Run4Water with our church family and the boys decided they could all manage the 1 mile pretty well. Here comes Jacob and daddy to the finish line with Drew cheering them on! Nice work! Drew has officially turned 11 and Jman 5years old. Fun celebrating these two with our family! Lots of thoughtful gifts and great birthday singing! Our big surprise this year for the boys were new bikes. Drew got a really nice Giant bike and Jake got his very own bike that no one has EVER rode before! As the youngest of 4 boys that is really a big deal! He kept saying, "I want my very own bike that's just mine!" Happy Birthday Boys! We celebrated Dr

Kyle and I felt so grateful to have the chance to get away with our bikes in the suburban for a few days Just Us!! We joined the Covenant Pastors Retreat in Walker, MN and it was gorgeous! I felt super spoiled with beautiful trails to run on (and new scenery) and we had fun checking out the biking trails too! The changing leaves were breathtaking. The place we stayed at was really nice and had a perfect view of the lake. Kyle and I so enjoyed the time to connect with each other and friends we hadn't seen for a long time. My favorite spot to read my bible and journal was at this cafe right by our hotel. If Kyle couldn't find me he knew right where to look! As always time this special flies by, but what a treat it was to refresh with my favorite person in the whole world and spend quiet time with the Lord. He is so good to me! Thankful for life lived fully in His arms....everyday.

Before these days get too far ahead of me I need to pause a moment and reflect on what a special Fall it has been for our family. The Apple Orchard and Homecoming events in Menomonie are just a few! We sure missed daddy and Drew the day we went to the apple orchard in Spring Valley. However, the rest of our crew had a wonderful time and had fun on the hay ride! The boys had fun picking out apples and pumpkins and eating donuts... Such a fun afternoon with these 3! The Homecoming parade is a favorite tradition for us and the weather was perfect! Loved hanging out with the Husby family and having supper together before the game. Year #2! We got all sorts of crazy cool stuff from the parade and fun to see some of our friends in the parade too! So cute to watch the boys watching and waiting with bags in hand... It's incredible how much candy the boys take home from the parade. They really don't even need to get trick-or-treating on Halloween! It's all stil
