Easter!

Easter weekend was filled with lots of really special memories for us. Looking at all our pictures taken makes me smile and feel so grateful for family and time together. 
These flowers reminded me of my grandma Dorothy who loved pink carnations on Easter. I just had to pick them up for our kitchen table!
Caleb and I had so much fun chatting and frosting Easter cookies together! He stuck with me for every cookie and enjoyed eating some along the way.
We cracked open grandma and grandpas Easter basket on Friday and found some fun stuff!
Nana found some great Easter egg activities that we had fun doing together! "Match the Eggs" and egg decorating were our 1st ones!


Easter Egg Rolling Race was a HIT!! Take a peak at this!

We also played Egg Toss in the driveway and watched lots of eggs smash! Glad Drew was willing to hose off the mess! So great and really a fun time together. The weather remained cloudy but we were having too much fun to notice!
Loved this pic of our guys playing catch together. So many great memories with Nana and GG, we sure have missed having them around! Glad they are almost home from Florida for good!
Easter morning brought lots of basket finding and smiles! Jacob found his basket first!
These morning smiles warm my heart right up!


Easter shirts looked great and we had a nice Easter morning together at Cedarbrook with our church family. The boys really enjoy greeting with Kyle and I!


Home for a yummy Easter lunch of ham, potatoes, corn, rolls, jello eggs....and PIE!!! (my favorite)
Then into some egg hunting clothes and we were off to the park! Ready, Set, GO!!!
SUCCESS!!! Found them all! Daddy and GG put the eggs in some pretty tough big boy spots!

Easter weekend was so FUN!!! Great activities and time spent with those we love the most!!!
Family time....I don't think life gets much better then this.

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...
