Recap on 5th Grade Bball!

Drew has put his whole heart into basketball this season, waking up well before he needs to in order to get ready for tournament day. He showers, eats breakfast, gets his gatorade bottle filled and loads his bag to prepare for the big day ahead. You can tell it's Game Day all over his face! Here are some highlight pics from the tournaments he's played in~
 Drew loves his coach Lynn, and really looks to him to lead and guide him during games and practices. We are thankful he has such a great coach! This tournament was held in Prescott.


 2nd Place for our first tournament!
 Fall Creek proved to be a bit harder tournament taking 4th Place that day.



At our home tournament the boys took 2nd Place!! They are doing so great this year and it has been really fun to watch them become better together.
 Drew was recognized at the boys high school varsity game for having shot 12,150 shots last summer! He felt so special and we were really proud of him!
 Drew and his friend Wyatt got to sit on the bench together, be apart of the team talks, go back into the locker room and received awesome shirts with their shot number on the back!
Fun night getting to be apart of the Mustang team!!

Drew is a hard worker and talented player at such a young age. His determination to become better will get him far in sports. He encourages his team mates and looks to the coaches to teach him. He is respectful and kind and has a great attitude even when the refs make bad calls. Kyle and I smile at his drive because we are so proud of who he is and how God is shaping him and his character in these growing years. We love you Drew and have loved watching and cheering for you this basketball season. Keep reaching for your goals and dreams to become great and you will get there!

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...
