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

Finally able to sit down and breathe a bit to catch up on our family events these days! So many great memories this spring~ Baseball: Drew played in a baseball tournament right by all our family! We were really excited that grandma and grandpa, nana and GG could be apart of a fun weekend cheering for Drew in Blaine, Mn! It wasn't the best weather with lots of rain and cold, but we had fun anyway! Best cheerleaders!!! Drew pitched great that weekend! We even got a picture with our baseball star...we were so proud of him. Love seeing these boys build friendship with each other! They are a great team and are becoming such great friends... including plenty of 5th grade boy silliness! The 5th grade boys took 3rd place, qualifying for the state tournament on July 21-23! Awesome job boys!!! Grandma and Drew! Proud grandparents! So glad they could watch Drew play. Zoo Day!: Jacob and I are soaking in as much time as possible these days before the brothers

We jump from one sport or activity to the next very quickly these days, so I wanted to take a moment to highlight some fun spring memories made so far that you can't miss out on!  Micah's baseball season is in full swing and they are doing really well! Micah's favorite position is pitching and he is really good at it. He has one fast and strong pitch that has struck out many batters so far this season! Keep it up Micah!  Jake man wrapped up 4k last week and feeling pretty excited to start up kindergarten in the fall!  Drew's baseball team has had some tough competition this year but there's no stopping this Mustang team, they are winning many games even when the going gets tough! Drew is a great pitcher and short stop player. Again striking out many batters this season! The Gboys are crushing it at pitching!  Kyle and I went to the Pioneer Village Museum with Caleb last week and had a blast! Caleb has the greatest friends and we had a fun day together.

Thankful for these boys and Kyle who always make me feel loved and appreciated. As a mom of 4 boys it can be so easy to lump them all together and love them as a whole, but I find that each boy and I hold a very special relationship that differs from boy to boy....  Micah Robert~sweetest heart and adds lots of spice to my life! You can really tell that he loves his momma by the way he hugs me and wants to do things together. He is also so thoughtful and looks for ways to help me around the house! This morning he cleaned up breakfast before church! Micah can also make any supper table discussion end up in laughter and lots of fun! He is so needed in this crew!  Caleb James~ a boy after my own heart. We are so much alike that we totally get each other. easily distracted, missing a few details on occasion, loving life and being simple. Caleb has a sensitive heart and enjoys anytime him and I can go for a bike ride, a jog around the hospital or have a little alone time.  Jacob Ky

Beautiful morning to run the Eau Claire Marathon 2017!! Nice to have Linda and Chad join us for a fun racing weekend! Smiling not knowing the race about to begin would prove to be a real challenge for me... I'm always thankful for the ability to run and feel Gods glory on race day even when the race does not go the way I had planned or prepared. The course was very challenging to me considering the other marathons I have raced in the past did not ever come close to an elevation gain of 727 ft! Dang those hills in the 1st half!! This is around mile 22 and the legs were starting to burn! I wasn't looking too bad here though! It was so fun to see Kyle and the boys on the course like 8 times!!!! I loved their cheering and I knew I could totally finish this thing! This pic is heading into Carson park and just about to finish!! It was quite the journey, but I got it done!!! 3:38~comeback marathon time! Smiles to say, I completed it even when it got tough out there!! De

Kyle had a great time heading to Florida for a few days last week to spend some time with his dad! The weather sounded gorgeous and Kyle said it was a great week!  Kyle got to spend Rick's actual birthday with him!! How special, love their smiles! I think they both look really tan too!  Our favorite highlight from the pictures Kyle sent were these alligators! They said they were super close to them while golfing. Rick didn't seem as amused as Kyle did! But both said it was pretty neat that they were out that day! The golfing went fast and before they knew it they were on the road for home. They tackled the drive home like pros and even took Jacob and I out to lunch when they came back to town. I'm glad Kyle had time with his dad making memories together. One of Kyle's favorite things to do with his dad is to go golfing. What a bonus to golf with your dad and see alligators! It was really fun hearing about their week together! Glad they're home safe!
