May is flying by too fast~

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 are done with school. I found myself feeling so sad that my alone time with my last boy at home is soon coming to an end in the fall as he heads to kindergarten. I know I still have a few months but I am really feeling the realness of it all lately.
We had a fun day going to the zoo in Chippewa Falls! The animals were a hoot!!
The bears all really liked Jacob as all 3 bears came up to the glass and sat right next to him!
He's my baby and always will be...
And a bit adventurous!
Finished our special zoo day with ice cream and kisses! Kisses on the lips I still cherish! Blessed.

Piano Recital:

Micah and Caleb did a fantastic job at their piano recital. It was really fun this year because they played a duet together! "Take me out to the ball game!" was a hit and so fitting for these sporty boys of ours. Nana and GG had fun joining us for the evening of piano and baseball.

Track and Field day:
Drew had a fun track and field day last week and Jake and I decided to go cheer him on and have lunch with him!! It was a really nice day and so nice and warm!
At the end of the day, Drew received the 5th grade boy award for showing the most leadership, integrity, having a great attitude and being a hard worker. Kyle and I are so proud of him and know that God is using him to do great things here in Menomonie. Pretty neat moment for us to celebrate with him.
Youth Group!:
And last but not least, Drew and a few of his buddies took off on their 1st youth group experience on Friday night! They had a blast at the incoming 6th grade party at action city! He said he got to mess around a bunch and dad even told him to get into a little trouble! Ha! Fun days lately and at moments flying by too fast for this momma trying to hold back time!
Boy oh boy, my boys are growing up toooo fast!!!

Grandmas Marathon- getting faster!!

3:00:38 Grandmas Marathon PR!! I’m still smiling…things are coming along nicely in my marathon expertise! Haha, Im just being silly but I really am learning more as I go-what works best for me, what doesn’t.  June 17th was a blast!! Cramps hit strong in my left calf around mile 18 and then my pace got more limited as I went, I was so scared I would pull something that I tried to find the balance of push and hold up! Super proud of this race and the battle I fought. The marathon is a beast and continues to challenge me! Games ON still for the CIM Marathon on December 3rd. 😁First up though, trails and less miles for me for awhile. My friend Leah is a true gem, someone I really enjoy sharing running miles and life with. Kyle, Micah and I enjoyed time with Leah’s family in Duluth. Her sister Sara and brother-in-law Mike made us feel so welcome and special!  I’ve been getting faster and continue to PR each year since my late 30s, in fact the last time I raced Grandmas Marathon I ran a 3:16

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

Friday came quick!😅

 These full days have gone by super fast this week. Teaching full days to students who need my full attention, getting over a cold this week, spending time with all the boys each night, and keeping up with Kyle’s busy church schedule has had us all feeling like it has been a quick week! Micah and Caleb had a tennis meeting this week to get ready for their spring season, Kyle and I are really excited to cheer them on soon! Maybe sooner with how warm our weather has been this winter. It’s been fun to hear that Micah has been at the courts a lot already with his buddies, praying he has a solid season ahead for his Junior year.  Micah will be 17yrs old next Tuesday! It’s so crazy to think I have an 18yr old, almost 17yr old, 15yr old, and 12yr old….I wish I could keep them little.❤️ Each season of life looks so different. I never imagined this season looking the way it does. Working full time was never a dream of mine with such a busy family. However, God is so BIG. He is so much better in
